I have it from multiple reliable sources{on hereo_O} - that you can't build a Defense through one draft

Thats crazy talk......
It's got to start at some point and that point is with this draft.

If you were starting a defense from scratch that would be true. As it is, who knows what could happen with a few additions in the right places?

Good luck with Dak trying to carry this team LOL
You mean Dak and Zeke and Cooper and Gallup and Pollard and a strong O-Line and a new coaching staff ….

And while the defense needs to improve, with a defense focused draft, why would that be impossible?

Our Triplets on offense will be expected to carry the team despite whatever defense we can field.
Jerry and Son have clearly laid out their priority and objective along with hiring an offensive minded HC and retaining our OC.
How did work in the last 2 years?

Atleast get a big body DL and a better safety .... please

REMEMBER THE David Lafleur and Shante Carver picks? THATS JERRY AND STEVIE AND HOW THEY THINK. They try to save a buck thinking they can have a coach coach up a mediocre player and get the desired results. Its been 25 years of this.

Lafleur? Carver??? You really need to go back to the '90's for your point???

And LaFleur doesn't fit you conceit. He flamed out due to injuries; was actually good blocking and pass catching.

In particular...the RUN game keeping the defense off the field. We have too much invested in the OL and RB to turn back now.

With that said....do you need a 20m WR to do this? Do you need a 35m QB to do this? This is where the FOOTBALL people in that building are needed to make this decision. They have already decided you need a 20m dollar WR. So if you have the highest or close to highest paid OL, RB, WR and QB...theoretically the offense should be able to outscore ANYBODY...and if this organization thinks this will be the case...they have NOT been paying attention. We are NOT the KC Chiefs. It makes me sick to my stomach when I see how little VISION this organization has. The problem with Dallas has been and will always be...they don't need to WIN to make the most money. So there are ZERO repercussions for getting it WRONG! Which they have for over 2 decades!!

Stop twisting up your undies. Cooper has $60 million guaranteed. It's a 2 year contract, with three year to year options for the Cowboys.

Another year of building through the draft, tons of rookie starters who don't have experience = another work in progress defense. 2020 is a wash

I still think they are not sure about QB. With offensive talent that offensive should be prolific thru entire year and thru playoffs regardless of who they play. But what we saw was they feasted on bottom 1/3 teams and turtled against better teams.

Hope you're right. The draft is for the future though not now. But I dont see them contending the next 2 seasons anyway.
That's not always true. Rookies start in this league all the time. In the Cowboys case, some are going to have to start.
