The Cowboys need another WR.


It would be a waste unless we don't sign back the guys we have.

I don't want us to use a pick on a guy that we are fine letting disappear during games and I think with Dak at QB we'd be better off with another Witten/Cole Beasley type then we would be with a X or Z WR.

The Cowboys and many teams use a tiered grading system. I think they divide round one into 3 parts. A player can be R1T1, R1T2 or R1T3. When they are on the clock, they look at the players available on the highest tier. If there is more than one, then they use "need" to make the decision or they might try to trade down if there are several on the same tier. There are some occasions that they will go down a tier and skip a higher tier player, but they try really hand to avoid doing that. If a RB is the only player on the top tier in this upcoming draft, they will likely check to see if any team wants to trade for that player. If not, they will likely drop down a tier because the investment in another RB would be too much both in terms of the pick and the salary.
Oh I know that's how teams operate. It's just irritating seeing so many people act like you have to take the player sitting at the very top of your board regardless of what the roster looks like. There's a lot of factors that go into the pick like common sense should tell people and it's baffling so many don't get that.

We need RBs and WRs next year........I would bring back Butler, wanted desperately to keep DJackson

I like the potential of Andy Jones on the PS and Chris Brown on the IR and would sign a FA to replace Lucky

I would draft a RB late and sign a coupe UDFAs.....forget the JAGs like Morris , DMC and Dunbar

McCaffery would fit here but I do hate the skipping of the bowl game
