No rookie De is going to change our pass rush,FA is our best bet to take the next step.
This is the problem thinking i hate.

We didn't change our offensive line overnight. And we are unlikely to change our defense overnight. This takes prolonged investment. iT's why I hated people saying let's not take defense at 4 overall because whoever we take won't have 'immediate" impact.

Such stupid logic especially sitting here a year removed.

I am all for drafting Defense early and often but let be realistic here,we are drafting late in the first Rd,we are not getting blue chip prospects.the odds of a DE or CB making significant Contribution in the first year is very low.

Randy Gregory and Demarcus Lawrence were both second round focuses by the Cowboys. They both had talent, but injury and suspensions have robbed the total affect to present.

Know what round Larry Allen came to the Cowboys? Leon Lett and Jay Ratliff were both taken in the 7th rounds via drafts.

Some other noteables:

Chad Hennings rd 11
Tony Tolbert rd 4

Larry Allen was taken in the 2nd round...behind Shante Carver DE, in the 1st rd.
