News: Can Demarcus Lawrence be the Cowboys next lead pass rusher?

[CWR]

Perfect draft for me?

1. Goff/Wentz
2. DEFENSE
3. DEFENSE
4. DEFENSE
4. DEFENSE
6. DEFENSE/OL
6. DEFENSE/OL
6. DEFENSE
7. DEFENSE

I'll take that.

Edge rusher even 3/4 convert would be nice.

Who is the question
Is there going to be a guy there at 34? Do we go edge rusher at 4?
I also think adding some talent at the DT spot would help too.

Sounds good but who at those spots? And are you passing up better players for need?
A DT at 34 is very doable, but this draft isn't deep at edge guys. And we need a CB but who would be there after the second rnd?

 

[cowboyblue22]

regardless of who they draft they will not make a big impact this season very few rookies do.

Admittedly, this will be very limited if we move up for Wentz. If it comes to that and hope it does, I would use the 4/6th rounders on 3/4 coverts/edge rushers and interior (underweight, character concerns, etc.) 3 techs that show pass rush ability. Don't take flyers in the 6th by "waiting" for UDFA. Scout and go for the players that can apply pressure either immediately (not likely) or down the line. They can compete in TC with the UDFAs to see if the scouts were on to something and work them into the rotation @ RE and 3 tech.

But, if Romo stays healthy all season none of this will matter.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

I don't want him moved off SDE.

It seems like whenever we ask these sorts of questions, the answer is no.

Can Miles Austin be the next Cowboy star receiver?
No.

Can Marion Barber keep up his punishing running style?
Niet.

Can Anthony Spencer become the lethal counter to DeMarcus Ware?
Nein.

Can DeMarco Murray stick around and repeat his record breaking performance?
Nahi.

Can Dez Bryant truly be the heir apparent to Michael Irvin after receiving a massive contract?
Lo.

Can Tyrone Crawford become a dominant 3-Technique the Cowboys desperately need?
Bù.

Will Hardy remain a dominant pass rushing force and earn a second contract with the Dallas Cowboys?
Nē.

Can Cole Beasley possibly be the next Wes Welker?
Không.

Could the Cowboys have gotten the steal of the draft in Randy Gregory?

 

[DandyDon1722]

He came on real strong the back half of last season but the big question to be answered is how will he handle being chipped, doubled and having protection slide his way on a consistent basis.

Really good point. If we can consistently generate anything from some of the other guys he could be a Pro Bowl caliber player.

 

[hendog]

IMO we need another 3 Tech to pair with Crawford on 3rd downs more then anything on defense. Intirior pressure is the absolute key to a Marinelli scheme

Don't sleep on David Irving. I think he's gonna surprise some people this year!

 

[LocimusPrime]

He will definately lead the d line is sacks with 7

 

[DFWJC]

If Lawrence continues to improve...highly likely, imo
and
If Gregory matures, and grows into what he is capable of being, then
Dallas is in much better shape at DE longer term than many think

Certainly need to add someone, but it may not be an epic disaster

Time will tell...sure hoping the 8 sacks from last year is the new baseline

My perfect draft.

1. Elliott
BPA the rest of the way down

 

[speedkilz88]

I think that was the point of getting Mayowa. To at least hold the fort for the 4 games Gregory is out and just in case it's longer.

 

[BigStar]

I don't want him moved off SDE.

Ideally, I feel that. Add Hardy and his production can continue to grow on the left. We have 30M in cap space and the only extension I see warranted right now is Frederick; due to contract lengths and growing cap. Not sure if you can resign Martin to anything long term right now.

 

[jnday]

I like the direction that DLaw is going and I hope the back injury is something that can be overcome. He may be forced to take on the role of lead pass rusher, but I don't really know if he can be as successful in that role. I actually doubt that he can.

Nearly as dumb.

 

[big dog cowboy]

My perfect draft.

1. Elliott

Prepare for disappointment.

 

[Gameover]

Have we given up on Randy Gregory.

 

[Shinaoi]

He sort of is by default. Not like there is anyone else.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Have we given up on Randy Gregory.

Difficult to have much confidence in his ability to be available on gameday. After all the talk surrounding the combine/draft and subsequent fall in the draft, he confirmed everything by failing 3 (?) tests in basically 6 months. I'm hoping for the best but he's only 1 failed test from a full season suspension.
