They will never, ever learn. Instead of filling one or two holes with proven players they want to carpet bomb the roster with fringe players hoping they get lucky.

And then every year it seems the holes most fans could see in the offseason show up and the team generally is a flawed roster year in and year out.

And instead of learning, they seem to dig in more thinking they are the smartest people in football............ while not sniffing a conference title in 23 years.

Granted, it remains to be seen what they do in the draft, but as of now it appears they are approaching CB the same way they did WR in 2018 when they ran out a bunch complimentary receivers thinking they could run the offense successfully.

Who is the lead dog at corner for us that can strap down an opposing team’s best WR?

I don’t see Awuzie as that guy and certainly not Lewis or Brown.

Maybe we get C.J. Henderson in the draft but are we then going to give that responsibility to a rookie?

Good accurate article! Once the big wave passes Jerry will wade out in the shallows and see what washed up. Its his yearly MO.

I just dont see the defense being good enough right now that we can simply rely on 1 or 2 players in the draft to fill the rest of the holes.

DE, CB, S are immediate needs and that's not including a 1Technique or slot receiver. The draft cant fill all those positions with starters.

I still think Griffen and a trade for Harris from Minnesota fills two positions with above average players and it will give us some flexibility for the draft.

Wishful thinking I'm sure but just my thoughts.

Business as usual. But I do expect a semi splash this year besides McCoy.

I’m with you on that. I don’t think as big as clowney but decent splash

Bargain hunting? Us?

Rayman70 · Mar 19, 2020

I see MM drafting well and then looking at the June 1 cuts to fill voids. All teams do this. Lets just wait and judge it later. Its only march.

I think the start of the playoffs as well...at least the last 25 years.

Well said, and exactly!!

That's why they need a crazy pass rush and can have that with Clowney added.

He is willing to take a short term deal and Dallas needs to go for it before that OL needs to be rebuilt.

If they cant afford him it wasnt smart to go bust to bring back the offense that failed anyway.

Consistent pass rush is a must for any corner.

Sure, if Richards/Marinelli were still in charge.

Great.

Where's the activity at DE? Two of our three best rushing ends are gone.

You can't honestly say you are very optimistic about a DE depth chart of Lawrence and then a guy who hasn't played in a year and then three guys that have shown very little in the careers.

Your defense of their plan at CB would make sense if we saw the front office peppering the DL in FA with pass rushers.

But they aren't. They are bargain hunting, again. Which typically always results in less than stellar results.

ChuckA1 · Mar 19, 2020

Boy, after reading this article and the several others attached, I feel even better about the 2020 Cowboys. I look for the Cowboys to be active over the next phase of FA and they'll hopefully pick up a few killers for the DL.

MM isn't in charge of the draft.

This is a non playoff team that has lost more talent than it has gained. But I see fans saying...

MM will fix the offense
MM will fix the defense
MM will fix the game management
MM will draft well

I don't think we know for sure that he can't/won't do any of these things. Time will tell.
