Just draft a bunch of studs and we’ll figure it out…

With how the good the OL class is there’s zero chance and OL player won’t be BPA in rounds 1-3. Get 1, then figure it out. I’d prefer to leave Tyler at LG but if we have to move him for the best of the team I’ll get on board if it means we got some ballers that fell.
We need some Dogs. Not sure we are making mentality a priority in the draft process.

If you’re drafting anything other than a QB, WR, DT, LB, or CB with a first round pick you’re an unserious franchise.
Seriously? So a starting LT isn't rd1 worthy? A dominate DE isn't either? Sorry but I disagree with your post.

Heading into the draft, what picks do you love / like / not like at 24? For this exercise ONLY considering 30 visits, formal combine visits or pro day visits.
I don't know who all is "eligible" for this exercise, so I'll just re-arrange your list (in order) to my liking.

Great:
- Fuaga / OT
- Murphy / DT
- Mims / OL
- Latham / OT
- BTJ / WR

Good / Meh:
- Barton / OL
- Guyton / OL
- Fautanu / OT
- Cooper / LB
- Robinson / DL
- Morgan / OL

Bad:
- Kingsley / OL
- Wiggins / CB
- Frazier / OL
- Mitchell / WR
- Newton / DT
- Franklin / WR
- Colson / LB
- Any RB

Man Newton and Wiggins as bad picks? Interesting.

Cooper Rush, a guy NOBODY wanted, wins games without Tyron Smith and Zack Martin playing.

Let’s keep wasting draft picks on positions that don’t make a difference though.

It’s been working well for us.

lol love your headers!

I don’t know what to make of Newton man…I think like Olu he’s getting hit with draft fatigue sliding down boards. I think the only knock is he didn’t test so maybe not as athletic as Murphy but dude just lives in the backfield while being the only player opposing Os are gameplanning for.

Surprised you aren’t higher on BTJ?
I see BTJ as a boom or bust kind of guy, and that downside worries me. But if we need a field stretcher, he's the guy.

Fair enough…I think he’d just be an awesome #2 with that size / length / speed and ball skills combo.

I’m sure Jerry and Stephen are converting themselves with the financial side of things, but as a fan I much prefer they draft a position that’s going to impact the team the most.
I don't really want to go round and round on this point, but getting a quality long term LT can solidfy an offense. Well proven concept. It's more apparent when a sub par LT is letting DE's blow past him screamin their way to the QB or RB.

We’ve had one of the greatest offensive line runs ever the last 15 years.

It was wasted because of losers like Romo and Dak.

Now we have no nothings wanting to recreate it all over again.

Make it make sense.
We haven't had one of the greatest offensive lines in 15 years. The Cowboys offensive line is one of the most overrated position groups in the NFL. The last time the Cowboys had a great offensive line they were winning Super Bowls .

Yeah, let's get a quality long term LT just like Tyron Smith.

The last decade of success having the best LT in football spoiled us with so much success that we should try to recreate that all over again while keeping bum QBs for him to block for.

You have no idea what you're talking about and you should be embarrassed by this post.

Delete it while you still have time.

Our OL was actually well above average in pass pro last year…it was good enough to make a run last year but we just choked.
