You guys should have remembered that the Cowboys FO does not value the following positions highly.

SAM LB
DT 1Tech
Safety

The will not devote big dollars or high draft picks to these positions in the Marinelli defense.
These are easy gets in the draft from round 4 thru UDFA.

they havent drafted a DT in the 1st Rd since Russell Maryland.

Do they really need to see Vea in person? He's been lauded as a physical freak and an (as much as anybody is) a "sure fire" NFL star, by not showing up at the workout they may be trying to make people believe they have no interest in him, though they actually do.
Just a thought, though I tend to agree that he'll be picked long before no. 19 so that's why they didn't go there....

See many think the Vea will be gone by the 19th and he very well may be but we are bringing in Ridley who many believe will be gone by the time we pick. If Dallas is interested, they would bring him in as one of the 30 visits or schedule a private workout. They apparently to this point have done neither which leads me to believe that they aren't looking for a 1tech DT until the earliest being the 3rd round.

Here is a list of who Dallas has either visited with or invited as one of the 30 visits allowed other than the Dallas pro day.
  • Brandon Bean, WR, Grand Valley State (PRO DAY)
  • Austin Corbett, OT/C, Nevada (PRIVATE WORKOUT)
  • DeShon Elliott, S, Texas (one of 30 VISITS)
  • Leighton Vander Esch^, ILB, Boise State (one of 30 VISITS, PRIVATE WORKOUT)
  • Kylie Fitts, DE/3-4OLB, Utah (Senior Bowl Meeting)
  • Daurice Fountain, WR, Northern Iowa (one of 30 VISITS)
  • Davon Grayson, WR, East Carolina (PRIVATE WORKOUT)
  • Will Hernandez, G, UTEP (one of 30 VISITS)
  • Nyheim Hines^, RB, N.C. State (one of 30 VISITS, PRIVATE WORKOUT)
  • Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina (COMBINE MEETING)
  • Dewey Jarvis, DE, Howard (Senior Bowl Meeting)
  • Malik Jefferson, ILB, Texas (PRO DAY)
  • Josey Jewell, OLB/ILB, Iowa (COMBINE MEETING)
  • Chris Jones, CB, Nebraska (PRIVATE WORKOUT)
  • Darius Leonard^, OLB/ILB, South Carolina State (PRIVATE WORKOUT, one of 30 VISITS)
  • T.J. McCollum, OLB, Purdue (PRO DAY)
  • Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State (COMBINE MEETING)
  • Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA (one of 30 VISITS)
  • D.J. Moore, WR, Maryland (COMBINE MEETING)
  • Dante Pettis, WR, Washington (PRO DAY)
  • Darius Phillips, CB, Western Michigan (Senior Bowl Meeting)
  • Calvin Ridley^, WR, Alabama (COMBINE MEETING, one of 30 VISITS)
  • Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State (PRO DAY)
  • Jaylen Samuels, RB, N.C. State (PRO DAY)
  • Vyncint Smith, WR, Limestone (PRIVATE WORKOUT)
  • Josh Sweat, DE/3-4OLB, Florida State (COMBINE MEETING)
  • Akrum Wadley, RB, Iowa (Senior Bowl Meeting)
  • David Wells, TE, San Diego State (PRIVATE WORKOUT)
  • Cedric Wilson, WR, Boise State (Senior Bowl Meeting)
  • Isaiah Wynn, OT/G/C, Georgia (COMBINE MEETING)

There will be about 20+ more than get the 30 Visits and probably as many private workouts. Some of those with only Combine meeting or pro day will get a visit call or private workout. Once we know who the 30 visits are, then we will have a fairly decent idea of who they intend to draft in different rounds if available.

The odds are far greater that Ridley will be there at #19 than Vea.

Many teams won't risk a high or mid-first on any receiver - even if it is a position of need.

Yep, and they won't this year either. DT is not splashy enough for the Jones family unless it is a quick as cat 3-tech.

Then they can't wonder why the hell they keep trotting out mediocre defenses.

If these schmucks think Collins/Price and some schlub taken in the 6th is the way to go at the 1 Tech, then it's clear they will never learn. This franchise needs to dump Marinelli, ASAP. They are handcuffed to his outdated way of thinking.
