The needs in the draft are yet to be defined. If they don't have WR or CB at the top, they could very well take a DT or edge rusher.

If this is really spinal stenosis with LVE, that surgery should have taken place before now. The only thing I know about injuries with the Cowboys is the BS they sell, they always undersell an injury. That's one of the problems with having an optimist instead of a realist at the helm.
As well, I think the Cowboys FO rushes injured players back into action way too soon. They minimize injuries to the player's and team's detriment.
Dan Bailey comes to mind. Dak's shoulder and Coop's foot?

Chidobe Awuzie

He should have been benched as far back as week 3 or 4

he had a good rookie year but this year he was FAR FAR FAR too frustrating like why cant you ever turn your head and swat the ball down its DB 101 scheme, man , zone ,43 ,34 ,52 you still turn your head

if it keeps up this year then he should be traded by the deadline
I would agree and add Lewis. Reason being both are contributors and both will be FA's after 2020

The entire defense but if I had to pick one it's Jaylon Smith. Since he is one of Jerry's guys I am expecting the worst. Will tell you all you need to know about the culture under MM going forward.

Was reading something and it said that MM has no problem with drafting Safeties. But we also know that he won’t be the one drafting. JJ may let him bring in his own staff but he ain’t getting that much control.
McGovern might be stepping over him.
Going to be interesting to see. Could save us a draft pick..

This thread supports my overall evaluation of this franchise.
Its not just one area, or just one player.

Top 5 most disliked player for me. IMO he isn’t good enough to even focus on.

For me it is Zeke. He needs to show up in shape and become a leader.

There are numerous players that need to be held accountable for lackluster performances this past year and under the microscope next year.
One player I will be paying attention to is Trysten Hill.
The Cowboys past over a few Safeties, who were much needed position wise, in order to take Hill due to his Fit for their type of Defense.
He barely touched the field his first season. I am willing to give him some slack and chalk it up to adjusting to the Pro game. Being a 2nd round Pick, you would think he should have the ability to contribute more. I fault the coaches and scouting for that.
Hopefully he can show some major improvement next season. If not, that will mean that he will be the second High Round pick bust in the past 3 years (Taco).
Teams that miss on high round pick suffer long term damage, especially when none of the other later picks surprise and make the miss seem like a wash.
Another ramification of these misses is that teams usually have to go and overspend in Free Agency in order to find someone to upgrade that position.
Dak, Smith, Williams, LVE, Awuzie, Woods, Collins. At this point I don't even believe Hill will be a starter so until he shows something I'm just going to label him a bust and not even worry about it.

LVE.

Does he come back completely from his back issue (spinal stenosis), and stay on the field, or will he be a lessor version of himself?

The entire defense will be scrutinized by me. Especially Tank, Jaylon and Awuzie. And for the love of all that is holy can we please make this the off season we get a real NFL safety!

^ This sums up whatever comment I would have posted quite nicely.
