3/24 Draft Strategy

[cnuball21]

Updated draft strategy after our minor flurry of FA activity.

Round 1 Options:

- Trade Up (using 3rd round pick), select Derwin James or Tremaine Edmunds
- Stay Put, select Vea / Hurst / Payne / Harold / Smith (only at WILL) / Ward / Ridley (still on the fence on this)
- Trade Back (mid / late 20s), select Wynn, Hernandez, Moore, Reid, LVH, Evans

Harold?

 

[sdfidaho]

LVH = LVE?

 

[cnuball21]

Harold?

Landry

 

[cnuball21]

LVH = LVE?

Whoops...good fix!

 

[Mobinvans]

Jerwin James wpuld make our team immediately better

We desperately need two safeties, we can' go with Heath and Frazier again

 

[Risen Star]

LVH = LVE?

Leighton Vander Hesch.

It's a silent H.

 

[Risen Star]

Landry

I know him by Harry.

 

[Bigtex67]

Jerwin James wpuld make our team immediately better

We desperately need two safeties, we can' go with Heath and Frazier again

Especially if we pair him with an Earl Thomas trade!

 

[cnuball21]

Now that we signed a new OT, I hope we move Collins back to OG.

Think he's got all pro potential there.

The free agents are stopgaps.

They don't need to change strategy.

WR is still likely a priority.

Shouldn't be, we've got a pro bowler and a #2 in his mid 20s that has a 1000 yard season under his belt...not to mention we're a run first team.

They are going to save 12.5M and cut Dez.

That'd be brilliant, cut our #1 WR with no replacement in a year where there are a bunch of #2s in the draft.

Please no...

Please no...

They just signed his replacement.

 

[cnuball21]

They just signed his replacement.

You're on fire tonight...stay hot.

 

[Gameover]

That'd be brilliant, cut our #1 WR with no replacement in a year where there are a bunch of #2s in the draft.

Please no...

Dez is not a #1

 

[cnuball21]

Dez is not a #1

Dez is not a #1

Based off of what? Are you only referencing his play last year?

 

[Verdict]

Shouldn't be, we've got a pro bowler and a #2 in his mid 20s that has a 1000 yard season under his belt...not to mention we're a run first team.

Who is the pro bowler? Hurns?

Draft is in Dallas, Jerry likes to make headlines, so I don't see how we don't trade up and the guy I think they target is Derwin James.

DB's are headline players especially guys like James who has top 5 potential. Now with that being said it's going to cost us the 50th pick, but the guy has the ability to transform this defense.

What makes this possible. Allen Hurns giving us a #2 WR to play across from Dez, and adding a RT/ swing tackle allowing us to either move La'el back to LG or at least drop the priority level of the need to draft an o-linemen high.

The Cowboys have made the offense a priority in the FA period which makes me think they are going to show a heavy emphasis towards the defensive side of the ball.
