You think he's the June 1 next year? If we're not doing the June 1 with him, then I doubt he gets cut. The difference between dead money and his total hit isn't enough to justify cutting him without the designation. If we do designate him it saves us what 7 million this year?

I think they'll ask him to take a significant pay cut similar to Doug Free, and if he doesn't he'll be a June 1st cut.

If they cut him outright, it wouldn't just be about this year, but about the future of the cap as well.

Also need a legit QB, and a #2 WR.

If Dez goes down, we're toast.

But, those are luxuries...we need defense bad.

A backup QB wouldn't hurt either. We need to start grooming Romo successor at some point and no I'm not talking about getting Colt McCoy. Someone that is going to carry this team for the next decade maybe.

Just as fixing the OL makes everyone else better, same with DL. Corner doesn't need to have a superstar in this D if there's a pass rush.

I do want Carr gone though. His $12M can be applied better.

We could use a real FS also.

I think we can ride things out with Wilcox and wait for him to develop. I think we see the potential there, but if we get a chance to get a safety high, I wouldn't be opposed in the 3rd or 4th round. Might even need to get a second corner in the 3rd round.

This secondary is just hot garbage.

cowboys need to stop drafting receivers and tight ends in the mid rounds. this needs to be an all defensive draft. we need a disruptive force up the middle. we are getting no push up the pocket. i doubt brent helps much but we'll see.

We still need an infusion of defensive talent, and we can use it at any position. LB's the least needy, but I won't turn down the best defensive talent out there even there.

It's a consensuses then DE and CB in what ever order.
But the Cowboys rightly have been selecting the BPA.

Patmon might show something but you can't go wrong at CB or DE.

DL and CB are needs 1A and 1B. Then anywhere else on the defense is B. We really need to draft well this summer.

We're very thin at WR, but I'm with you on TE.

I'd put pass rusher ahead of corner. I'd also put defensive end depth over corner as well.

The game is won in the trenches. You can't stress that enough. You see what happens when you addressed offensive line. Not a pretty or sexy pick but you see how many positions and units benefit off of that o-line pick.

Same goes for defensive line. Get more talent on that line and you'll see other positions and units improve.

Well we know the LB core will be very good next year with McClain, Lee(crossing fingers), Durant, Hitchens. Dline and safety needs some work.
