Who cares? We suck and the season is already in the toilet if you listen to the cry babies. LOL

You can get medication for stuff like that. Lots of good stuff out there.

I would think we’ll draft at least two or three players on the OL. I see us taking a WR pretty high. We need a big run stuffer upfront who can push the pocket.

I hear you. We had a very disappointing playoff performance and have done little in free agency. We’ve lost two of our top four receivers and have the 24th pick in the draft. Not a lot to get excited about.

I kind of feel the same way, not real enthused for now. I am sure I will be as it gets closer. Probably when it gets 3 or 4 days away.
I think because for now I have this feeling they will do something stupid at some point in the draft. Always reaching for a player and use the same BS reasons.

NFL draft day is USUALLY sort of like Christmas morning for me. Can’t wait to get the day started. But I don’t feel that way this year.
Don’t get me wrong, I am still looking forward to it, but this year I’m not as into it as most years. I got to thinking about the “WHY” that’s the case. This is what I came up with:
1. We don’t pick high, and in spite of most years when we pick low we have a good team that we are building on. At times I see this team as a smoke and mirrors team that had an artificially high record last year.
2. I’m not anti Dak, but we have a large enough sample size on Dak now for me to believe he wilts against the better competition. Now we have his massive contract dragging us down. I’m not excited about that. He played horribly in the last half of last year.
3. Too many holes to fill with draft picks. Even the most optimistic among us can see that.
4. The OL really sucks. Tyron is done. Biadasz is a pretender. Martin is PAST his prime. McGovern is looking like a miss. It’s a tragedy when you think that it is possible that Steele MAY outperform all his line mates. Let that marinate and sink in a little bit.
5. The selection of Joseph last year instead of Creed Humphrey really burns me out. I’m not a football savante, but anyone with half a brain could see that Humphrey was going to be a plug and play player at C and we reach for a guy who seems more interested in rapping than playing football and has been a headache everywhere he has been instead of Humphrey.
6. We used a franchise tag on a JAG tight end. Seriously? Wow. I like the player but you have got to be kidding me.
7. It’s frustrating when it takes a train wreck like Gregory to save us from overpaying him. Double wow.
8. Zeke is probably done and we are going to ride him like Troy Hambrick all year long.
9. I’m a season ticket holder but I must say my enthusiasm for the Cowboys is at a very low point right now.

Yeah. I think you can bet that as if it has already happened.
The selection of BossManFat was absolutely a ******* move. Then they made a colossal reach on Wright. So far the score on those two are:
Detractors 1
Cowboys. 0

And according the the crazies we are gonna compete for a championship. It’s best to be like me and look forward to having a great tailgate on wildcard weekend. Thats where we will be, nothing less and probably nothing more.

I havent heard anyone predict a championship. Not one. Always the lies to justify the nonsense.
The realistic fans are simply waiting until after the draft and FA to start crying about the team. Which is common sense.
The Cooper crazies just never could recover after losing their lover. Many of us told them Lamb was the new #1 and that Coopers days were numbered. They failed not to listen.
Heck we even told them that if Gallup would sign for around 13 million that he would be the better option.

Who cares, according to many on here, we are average, bad, have a QB that sucks, our HC and OC suck, ownership sucks, our GM sucks, we may as well tank, organically......it's all a big joke....so, why even worry about the draft.....we're doomed!!!

As opposed to the crazies saying we will suck and win 2 to 6 games.
