Well we do have picks this year and Next. We also have a $20 million dollar defensive player that may be franchised tagged Again this year.

The biggest problem is we're pretty good at drafting defense and rb

But We couldn't draft a wr or te to save our life and then we hang on to them and pay them forever when we miss on the pick. Look at twill. He was never a good wr but somehow got extended. Taco was a first year bust and Jerry can't cut loose. Jerry can't just cut bait fast enough.

Stephen Jones would rather pay 20 million for 4 subpar wrs or tes then 1 Stud player who can run circles around all 4.

Dez is the last wr drafted with a first round grade. And the only wr that was worth beans.

You can't spend 1st round picks only on defense when you don't have a top offense in place.

We had a stud wr in Dez for 3-4 years but a subpar twill, mediocre tes, mediocre #3 & #4 wr. That's no winning formula

The top 2 wrs have to be studs in this style of offense. Anything short of that will put us on the same path for 24 more years.
We still only have Cooper, Zeke and Dak. 3 steaks and 3 chopped livers will get you last in league in points. Go get 5-6 steaks at the skilled positions or we wont win beans
Our offense is 3 Steaks on paper away from being the top offense

In order to jump a level the Draft is Great but you have to sign quality Free Agents. In my opinion we need to address
OL in the Draft than look Free Agency for Earl Thomas at Safety, Sheldon Richardson at DT and one veteran TE.

I get the ET love, but he'll be more expensive, is older, and coming off an injury.

I'd rather target Adrian Amos. Pair him with Woods and we're in good shape at safety.

Richardson would be a great signing... but I'm starting to get the sense we bring back Irving.

Humphries at WR is a must - particularly if we shed Beezy, Hurns, Austin, and Williams.

Top ourside wr
Top te
Good Rb Depth
Safety
Dt

We don't draft wrs tes or safeties very well. It's hard to spend a big % of cap money on defensive players when you don't have a top 5 offense in place.

If you look at our 6 skilled players starting we have Dak and Amari and we have Zeke.

In a perfect offense we would have a steak at #2 wr, #3 wr (#4wr or 2 Tes) and plenty of depth at rb.

So far nobody has emerged as a top skilled player except Dak, Amari and Zeke

It's no wonder why our offense can barely even squeek out 22 on a last gasp TD against a Superbowl caliber team.

We can change all the coaching revamp the playcalling and pray for a miracle or we can go get 3 more studs if we want to have a top 5 offense .

There isn't enough concentration on trying to make this a top 5 offense. If our te core and receiving core hit free agency outside of Cooper and Beasely who is gonna get a big contract if they get one at all.

Why seek out average wrs who can't beat a double team. Avg to mediocre starting skilled players do not win championships in today's NFL.

You over look the main point, and that is Brown is under contract to Pittsburgh and if they trade him, will want and get something a lot higher than the 59th overall pick in the 2019 draft. You are going off tangent . Pittsburgh will get a 2019 1st easily, the Raiders will happily give up one of their 1sts for him, plus their high 2nd.

I wonder what Humphries market price might be ?

Ebron had 1 good year..he cant block, drops passes and sucked for 4 years in Detroit

He's not a FA and wouldn't fit here anyway, so it's moot, but I think you're being a bit harsh on Ebron. He never lived up to the hype and has his weaknesses, but he's a weapon.

We gotta have 2 great outside wrs somehow. Jerrah like the 12 and 11 PASSING Formations. It limits what a #3 spot played wr can do ON 1st and 2nd Down when the play is alot LESS PREDICTABLE.

Beasely is putting up most of his stats on the critical passing downs when the drive or game is on the Line and the defense is more critical of stopping us

Who is gonna do that? Michael Gallop looks good but he's not on Beaselys Plateau where he can be the hero on 3rd down. He has no consistency on offense in the stats column but I think he'll at least be a good #3 spot played wr.

Will Gallop be a Schuster Smith, antonio Brown, or Obj? No I don't even think Amari will but he's a top 15 #1 wr

Its a scheme that Passes out of alot of 11 and 12 formations and only spot plays their #3 wr on critical passing downs so it's IMPERATIVE that the #1 and #2 outside wrs be a Irvinlike Harper combination and considering we got such a sloppy te core they will have to both be elite if you're gonna spot play Gallop as the #3. He got 2 TDS and looks great so if he just makes it in this spotsplayed 3rd down player role we still need basically 2 Amari level talents based upon snapcounts.

Asking Gallop to Emerge on paper and be a consistent 8td + a year wr is alot in his 2nd year .

I saw a guy who could play outside and make some plays but just a rinky dink sample size where the defender was just out of position. Ot it was against the Giants where even the mediocre talent levels can shine as wrs

The comboys take too much of what the defense gives you instead of going and beating someone with their 6 best skilled players. And the tes are TOO INVOLVED IN THE PASSING OFFENSE based upon their talent level.

Why we leave our tes who haven't converted a critical down passing play on third 3rd down on Every critical passing snap just totally Baffles and Infuriates me.

Thats not Jay Novachek on 3rd and 24 aJerrah He's an imposter. If your gonna leave him out we're never ever gonna expect him to make a play but we'd sure appreciate it if you could at least use a little more dual slot wr and dual rb formations where we used to have some SAUCE on 3rd Down spot plays

Again, answer the question. Antonio Brown is contracted to the Steelers, until 2022, he is currently in the top 2 WR in the country, how do you think Dallas will trade for him without holding a 2019 1st. Do not tell me about WR formations, I am not asking that question.

Or in lieu of rotatingr the te for better slot wrs and rbs just make sure we got 2 Superstar outside wrs and maybe they can open things up for our tes and rbs to score in this INFLEXIBLE EVERYDOWN TE SCHEME.

A spot played 3rd down hero on third down who is better than our #2 hasn't worked out.

Our tandem hasn't been potent enough and we had a stud w Dez and #3 Beasely and we had a bunch of Baylor hype but not a Great enough #1 and #2 wr tandem.

We need an impact #1 or #2 outside wr like Brown. Make a trade with Pittsburgh. You have a #2 pick, all next year's picks, D law, Beasely, Crawford, Hurns, Lee, Austin, Gregory, Irving

There is alot to trade to ensure a top offense. Certainly alot of sauce at wr sts and defense which is right up Pittsburghs Alley. Not to mention picks.

What are the odds they could do better at drafting .You could throw in Swaim and all the Hype of what a great SERVICEABLE te he was. Let's see what he's worth on the open market. Lmao If Jerrah doesn't extend him somehow .I wouldn't be surprised since he loves all those 12 passing formations with Escobar and Hanna Swaim and the Shell of #82 .

This offense needs a Gronk or a Brown. Pick your poison wisely. A great #3 spot played wr is not gonna take us from last to first.

If your gonna serve up chopped liver at the te receiver position every year we better have an elite wr who can help overcome the lack of critical down conversions.

I'd take a Brandin Cooks

Your gonna have to pay for wr at some point. Give Dak more than 2 Great weapons and improve our offense with 3 great outside wrs and let the cream rise from the top. Odd man out gets slot duties

We paid for austin, Hurns, twill, beasely anyways. I'd trade the whole wr and te core for AB or Brandin Cooks

Alot some cash for a stud wr and cut the fat and bring in young outside talent w speed on the outside and eliminate the spot player scheme forever. It's too predictable to play an everydown te scheme and spot play the #3 wr. But Linehan is gone so maybe we'll see some badly need offensive changes or an upgrade at elite talent

It's gonna take an elite talent to overcome the lack of consistency at the te and #3 wr and go from last to top 5 on offense no matter who we pay or don't pay.

Its about who can aquire elite talent not just pretty good talent

Elite offenses that have a multitude of weapons wins championships not just 2 players. Amari and Zeke are all we got folks It's 11 on 2 come Playoff time and that's not enough sauce to have a top offense. Everybody else is a bunch of hype statistically

Also this offense is unproven at what it can do in the Absence of Beasely. Some are predicting we won't miss a beat but considering he was only a critical down 3rd down spot player I think he will leave a hole that cannot be matched by our te and new specialty slot wr Jerrah selects to be the hero. Maybe the Ghost of #82s prime and a Good #3 can help us but that's our only hope if we don't have an Elite#2 wr

  1. Jadeveon Clowney Gonna get tagged
  2. Eric Ebron Gonna resign, likley before free agency begins
  3. Adrian Amos I'd rather just throw a ton of mone at Earl Thomas...may not be realistic, but it's what I would do
  4. Sheldon Richardson Did not like the way he was used on D-Coordinator KRichard in Seattle, so doubtful
  5. Darius Philon Would be a great signing, but I doubt we do
  6. Adrian Peterson I doubt he's okay with the few touches we are willing to commit to, besides a cheaper option can be found in the draft that complements Elliott better
  7. Kareem Jackson I don't see us looking at a CB in free agency what so ever

Hm

So Clowney tagged, neutral
Ebron signed, netrual

Amos you seem to be having high hopes on ET, but not against Amos if I'm right? (I vote for youth and a lower contract)
Richardson, that's a decision for Richard in many ways, so agreed
Philon, we can hope, can't we?
Peterson, he has always wanted to be a Cowboy. He just played on a vet min salary. Bo Scarbaraough was supposed to be a great complement to Zeke. I'd rather take the sure thing
Jackson, yeah, you're probably right, still think it'd be a smart, affordable signing.

What is your take on Adam Humphries?

So, you can't answer the question, you are unable or unwilling.
I thought I Explained it. There used to be a receiver named Amari who played for the Raiders The raiders decided to trade him off. . Now being the suave owner that Jerrah was forced into being because he had a whole wr and te core full of slot/possession receivers or short ballers who either never produced tds in the NFL or had such low Scoring averages that it didn't matter. He needed at least one deep baller to appease the Lynchmob of #88 fans complaining about cutting the ALL TIME LEADING Scoring wr of Americas Team for a bunch of slot wrs by committee.

Im sure Jerrah called Gruden and said hey John boy How much do you want for That fast receiver w the slick moves and soft hands like Escobar You know that quiet kid who runs better routes than Dez but can't seem to make it in Al's World? Cooper. Would you take next year's 2nd round pick for ole coop from Uncle Jerry since I've been like family to Al and Al Jr for the last 30 years.

Johnboy do you believe it. I always treated Dez and Tony as my own. I can't believe Dez said no to a hometown discount. Plus Stephen didn't help by bringing in those last 2 bottles of Scotch while we were calculating the hometown discount for each of those dropped passes. So I just let him go J Gru. First thing I learned as a coach is ya gotta stick by your guns.

I guess I didnt calculate the averages right John. It turns out that every wr and te in the committee was less than 1/2 of what Dez had averaged all by himself.

well uncle Jerrah I tell you what... the coop kid runs the route tree better than every receiver on the team . Hes fast, w great separation but he just can't catch the Ball that well from D Car anymore. And he's so quiet that I just can't take it anymore. I'm gonna pull my hair out.

We gave a first round pick for coop Jerrah Weve been offered a few 2nd round picks. We we're gonna try to hold out for a 1st and a 3rd But since you were always Mr. Davis's Fave God rest his soul and you virtually have nobodies at te and wr but that little #11 slot guy that comes in and converts most of your 3rd downs so I guess we can do next year's first round pick.

Yea that's little Bease. You know I only take my weakest #2 Te off the field on 3rd down just for little Bease. Of course we leave at least 1 te out there at all times in case a fight breaks out. We only use little bease when the second te need a breather on a few 3rd downs.

We don't have to take swaim out for a breather like that. He's the second coming of J Witten. I'll tell you what John if you go get you a big tall physical te who can block downfield for your main 3 players you'll never go back to those one dimensional finesse receiver te sissy types who aren't tough enough to wear a defense down on every snap blocking like J witt or swaim. It's just Swaims 3rd year and his first year playing every single snap so we don't want him to lose focus on his blocking like Rico. Well I guess we really need to get this done now. So I guess We'll give you next year's #1 since we don't have a choice.
At least we get to use the player all year before the pick.

We got this years pick
Next year's picks
All kinds of players that can be paired with picks.

I had to make it funny

No you're still going off on a tangent, you don't have to make it funny or pretend you're either Gruden or Jerry Jones, I want you to tell me how we trade for Antonio Brown who is currently one of the top 2 WR in NFL, which players realistically you think we can pair that the Steelers would need, and be reallistic, I do no want to see trash like Joe Looney, Allen Hurns plus a 2019 2nd and 3rd.

For comparison lets imagine that Zac Martin is looking to leave the Cowboys, and we will trade him, what picks would you expect for him.

You dont trade elite edge rushers, in their prime. Next years 1 is not going to get you Brown maybe in 5 years, but in his prime not even close. I would rather draft Deebo Samuel in the 2nd, and depending if Hurns and Beaze come back, I would look at picking up either Rishard Matthews, or Chris Conley to be the 3rd WR, Samuel I would look to as Bease replacement.
