Cowboys are not going to have a top 5 pick

They will finish 5-11 and pick somewhere b/t #5-#10. Based on what I'm reading, there's not a whole lot of difference in the players picked in that range. What you miss out on the lower you fall is the opportunity to trade back with a team desperate for a QB.

Yes, and if you can't improve your team with the 5-10th pick, you probably screwed up the draft. Players can fail of course, for reasons other than being overrated, like Morris Claiborne and his injury issues, but generally you should get good production out of a top10 pick...

At the end of the day we're just too talented.

The whole point of picking in the top 5 is to trade back to a team desperate for a quarterback and get a haul in return. The draftnicks are saying the draft does not have top level talent (Young, Dion, and Suh) at defensive line and cornerbacks. We all know NFL scouts look at things differently so who knows what is out there.

And you never know what teams will do in the draft, especially this far out. Like Jaylon, he could have been the top pick in the draft (possible) but he got hurt and there goes his draft stock. Some team that was hot after him would change their strategy immediately. Might be a run on positions other than quarterback and Lawrence could still be there at no. 5, or 6, or 8 (not likely of course).

Have to be prepared for any situation...
