Idk about the rest of you, but Mo Claiborne forever scarred me and I’m very hesitant to draft a corner top 10.

If I were GM, I draft Penei Sewell without thinking twice. Like another poster said, we start Sewell at LG (and bench that worthless SOB Connor Williams) and kick him out to LT whenever Tron gets hurt, if Tron comes back at all.

I think there is a good chance Tron decides to retire after this year- call it a hunch, but neck and back injuries are pretty damn serious.

Can you IMAGINE a Line with Penei Sewell though??? That OL would go back to 2016-2018 level dominance imo. Do it!!!

I believe there are three qbs everyone wants. As it stands now you’d have to figure keys go Lawrence and jags take fields. Trey lance is sort of a wild card... how bad do teams want him?
if we could somehow get to number 2 we could really ask a team for a lot to Move up.

We still may be able to at 3. Then if you pay dak you can really revamp this defense in one offseason.

this team is still built to win now. Hitting on defenders to go with LVE... dlaw... Awuzie and Diggs would be huge

Agree, why I hope we can get to the 2 spot. Maybe 1 if jets win tonight but I have a better chance at Mega Millions on Tuesday night.

Best defensive player available! Continue to rebuild the defense...especially if there is a transition to a 3-4

Man. Im not gonna lie, thats an amazing thought of having that offensive line next year and of course not lose much when and if you have to kick Sewel outside when Tron goes down like he does every year. Dang. But i disagree that there arent any defensive guys in this draft that woukdnt have Sewels impact. There are a few off the top of my head like Parsons and Surtain. Ive heard some posters mention Farley too(ill take that as well). We have to fix this defense. Two top prospects off the first and second round would help that soooo much. BUT again, that thought of putting Sewell on this Oline with the returning tackles is really something. Now im torn.
I agree it is a great post. If they decide that Dak is their guy going forward, and wind up with the 3rd overall pick, and get no big trade down offers. The highest rated player on their board just might be Sewell. I love Surtain but at 3 that may be a little high to pick a CB. Which is why picking at 5-10 overall would not be bad as well. In case we win a few games the rest of the way.

We are 2 spots from Trevor Lawrence.. All we have to do is reach out and go grab this opportunity.

Lose out.. Let the Jags win a game. Sell the farm for Lawrence..

It’s all right there. We could be a championship team again if they will just go do it. 2 spots from a decade of glory.

Never say never but the smart money is betting against it happening. IDK why but Lawrence reminds me far too much of Chad Hutchinson to draft him.

The smart money is betting against it I agree but I just hope the owner is smart enough to see this opportunity and make a real effort to go get him and not just let things come to him.

Everyone has a different opinion about tanking, but the Cowboys looked way better today than they have all season. Gallimore, Randy Gregory, LVE, Diggs, Aldon Smith look like players we can really build with on D and the offense was juiced with Dak on the field. The Oline should be back intact next year and they have 4 comp picks in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th rounds respectively. Having the 2nd or 3rd overall pick is important because I think there will be a bidding war for Justin Fields and I think it would benefit the Cowboys more to trade the pick & add draft picks and have the flexibility to move around in the draft to get players they really want/need. I can really see this being one of those 3-13 to 13-3 teams in one year (similar to the 2015/2016 Cowboys).
Currently being the key word. There's a good possibility that with Dalton back, the team will win the NFC East.

I wouldn’t trade up but if he’s there I get him
The cost of going up is too high
We have many needs not just one

The Joneses want Dak back but France wants a record breaking contract. The Joneses will offer Dak a good contract but I am not sure what happens if France rejects the offer. If the Cowboys get a top 3 pick it changes everything. By the way I think Fields and Wilson are close. Closer then Fields is too Lawrence. We will see.

Honestly, I like Dak a lot but am so down with drafting Fields or Wilson if we have a chance. Gives us the opportunity to build anew.

is it possible to trade Dak if we are in a position to draft Fields?

Yes. Just give him a nonexclusive franchise tag. Any team that signs Dak will be required to give the Cowboys 2 1st round picks. I think the Patriots will be good candidates. Belichick is too old to waste time developing a rookie QB.

It’s sickening to think about.

You just know this team is too foolish to look at the big picture.

Trevor Lawrence is our chance to be a champion again. It’s right there. We are 2 spots away.

Put Ben Dennucci back in. That’s the smart thing to do. This season is lost and you can gain so much if you wouldn’t be such stubborn fools.

Get out of country club mode and do whatever it takes to get that guy and re-energize this fan base.

Lawrence alone won't be enough. Maybe Urban Meyer as head coach with Marvin Lewis as his defensive coordinator + Lawrence. I think we could win maybe 2-3 SuperBowls with that combination.

Lawrence goes a long way and he provides cap relief as well giving us more ammo to build a team.

Don't get your hopes up.
We will win at least 2 more games.

we may win 7 of the last 8 and win the division.
Anyway no way we will get a Top 5 pick. Probably in the range of 8 to 16, unless we win the division. Then the best will be 19.

Dont forget we have more division games and we're in the worst division in football, so unfortunately expect a couple of more wins..
Still we need to Bank on the Tank.
