6 new starters, how are we going to fill them?

[Cowboyny]

Resign Osa, Jlew and Rico. Sign LBr Greenland / Bolton / Wagner.

Trade down and add a 3rd and 4th.

Find a WR, DT and RB early.

If they are willing to spend, Bolton would be the player to target. Also, believe he is from the Dallas area. He does possess those high level instincts you look for at the position. He would be the closest thing to Sean Lee.

Lewis needs to be resigned

LB need to cover - gonna have to draft/FA there.

RB will be addressed via draft

DT is deep this year in draft but they typically don't produce year 1. Osa might be a must resign given he fits new defensive scheme so we'll.

Agree with others - Diggs seems almost a guarantee to be signed to WR core. I'm fine with that as it takes away need to draft one.

G should be filled in house.

If next season they do the above and Guyton takes a leap in his 2nd year, the offense could be top 10...even with #4 at QB

Defense, there are alot of holes to fill and a new scheme to grasp.

Need bigger DE
Twitchy DTs
Coverage LB
And better S play

Safety is another position that could be in play as both starters are fa's in 2026.

haha! Grant is very interesting, super athletic and plays with a high motor. He has the ability to play multiple positions, but your are right has a long way to go as a pass rusher. Better then just a bull rusher, as he has a swim move, but still raw as a pass rusher. Graham is the ideal pick, but Harmon is probably the next one after him due to his rush abilities. He could play any interior position.

At this time, Grant is a two-down player. Is that what you are saying? Sounds like Jordan Davis....... a very good run defender but limited pass rush.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I'm not sure about this at all.......I like both Hoffman and Bass but I'm not convinced they are ready or capable of starting at a high level. If Shotty plans to run as much as we hear, I'm filling this position (RG) with one of the first three picks.

Agree......even if pass on him, there should be plenty of free-agent options to fill the 2nd WR opening. Three other names I'm keeping an eye on

*** Kuup.............He may be the cheapest of the three. Excellent fit with Lamb IMO
*** Deebo .........one non-guaranteed year left on his deal. There has been some friction between him and Shanahan.
*** Melcalf..........I think Shotty was his OC for the first couple of years in the league

Offers a little as a pass rusher, where Davis gives you nothing

~i'd love to get amari back...even tho i think it was more jerry than mm...time heals...and he had good synergy with 4.
~i hope we can keep cb jourdan lewis.
if we lose him...and we're talking reunions...lets bring back the one that got away...49ers cb chavarius ward.
~i think zack probably retires...i'd love to replace him with ohio st's donovan jackson...but honestly brock hoffman deserves that spot...love his playing style.
~in the draft,i hope we get a rb and dt early...within first 3 rds.
if we lose dlaw...i'd add de to that early want list.

 

[RonWashington]

Dowdle Kendrick’s and Lewis should be FO targets to return. Osa will cost his way out .
Zack Martin replacements are on the roster already and a speed WR will be drafted to replace Cooks .

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Count me in on this also........PFF mentioned he has coverage limitation but he's a missel for your run defense. Just what we need, a high-level vet who hit the ground running.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I agree with Dowdle and definitely Lewis but not Kendrick. We can upgrade there. Besides he's a Zimm guy.......don't see them bring him back.

 

[RonWashington]

PFF has Walter Nolen day 2 right around where Dallas is . If Dallas could grab Jalon Walker then Nolen round 2 you’ve got 2 players to instantly start on the Edge & interior .

Now get Sampson round three to pair with Dowdle for a 2 headed rushing attack it sets you up to be able to take a receiver round 5 . Shame Jerry spent a 4 on Mingo but perhaps with a full camp under a new coach helps him .
Flournoy & Brooks underrated and not utilized

When he was in the lineup I thought him and Liufau were effective.

 

[RonWashington]

Zac Baun should be Dallas main FA target although Howie Roseman will not let him go without a fight . LB has to be addressed either draft or FA both Kendrick’s & Baun with Liufau is nice . Jerry & Son need to step up

Baun earned a huge payday, highly doubt the Eagles will let him go after the season he just had

I want to move on from Dowdle, think he can easily be upgraded in the draft

I would consider making a run at Becton from the Eagles who has had a good season moving to Giard and has experience playing tackle

Do Cowboys fans understand that you are going to have to pay Dowdle millions for him to stay. Dowdle’s production for under a million was good but a Dowdle at $4 million better give me more then two touchdowns. You can get two better backs then Dowdle in the draft for 1/2 the cost.

As of today we have no starting or backup RB. I seriously doubt Jerry is going to trust an RB room with two rookies in the same backfield with Dak. Sure we can upgrade Dowdle with a rookie but that doesn't mean Dowdle has no value. My point is, whether it's Dowdle or not, we will sign a vet IMO.

They wouldn’t pay over 3 million for a veteran last yr, Dowdle market will be higher now
