Cowboys May Make A Pitts Stop at no. 10

You collect talent in the draft. Anyone who doesn't understand that isnt worth talking to about this.

Which is a big part of why the majority of our first round picks have been good. It wasn't until we reached for need that we screwed up. Of course we want bpa at a position of need, but you can't ignore monumental gaps on your draft board. Especially at TE where we have Schultz in a contract year and Jarwin soon to be making over 5 million a year. His play may or may not not justify that. We are okay at TE, but there is room for improvement.
 
I'm totally down with drafting Defense and I really, really like Surtain. I mean, I am an Auburn grad so I've hate watched a fair share of Crimson Tide football and I really want to see Surtain in a Cowboys uniform.

But yeah, Pitts is beyond special. As high as I am on Surtain being a good pick if he's there, passing on him will feel like taking Ellis over Moss. Was Ellis good? Yes. But Moss would've possibly helped Dallas win another Super Bowl.
 
Just take BPA and let's move on with life. I certainly hope we don't trade back so we can pick a late first round bust and give Jerry another 2nd round gamble pick.

Interesting article arguing a case for Kyle Pitts, TE, FL at no. 10 in the NFL Draft to the Cowboys.

I like Parsons, LB, Penn St. When you see a Penn St. LB were no. 11, he is an NFL top prospect and defensive game changer. Beside the fact he is a football play maker, his 4.39 40yd time and 6.89 cone drill makes him a gifted football playmaker in the rarity of Demarcus Ware who is just 1 inch taller and 5 pounds heavier than Parsons. Demarcus had a 6.83 cone drill but ran a 4.53 40yd time.

But Pitts is rare Megatron, Randy Moss type skills and is a football play maker like Parsons. If Parsons and Surtain are gone, you do have a case to draft Pitts as the Best Available Player of Need. Trust me Schultz, and Jarwin combined will not be half of Pitts. Pitts is really that good. In today's NFL, the TE is the 2nd or 3rd WR. Elliotts running lanes will open wide with Pitts on the field as the opposing LB and S will be focused on Pitts.

However with both on the board, I would draft Parsons over Pitts. Even with Pitts athletic prowess, Parsons shows the skills to put his hand in on the ground (played DE in 4-3 in high school), stand up play MLB, OLB, and drop in coverage to SS. Pitts may win a couple of plays, but Parson could literally smash Pitts into the turf and that will be the only couple of plays Pitts will make that day.

I’m actually fine with pitts at this point is that is the route they go.
 
If Pitts is there it is almost impossible not to take him. This is the equivalent of a Kelce or Kittle and allows you to shop Gallup. If you don't get a corner that can start there are still guys like Sherman, Poole or Breeland out there that you could rent for a year and there are still LB's like Eric Wilson or KJ Wright that you could add.

There is a list of free agents at The Athletic that is pretty good. Can't link it.

Corners - Sherman, Poole, Breeland, Hayward, Nelson, Dunbar, Bouye
SAfeties - Boston, Vaccaro, McDougald, Harmon,
LB - Wright, Wilson, Campbell, Goodson

Punch yourself in the face with that fist.

Hey, why didn't we take Randy Moss again? Oh, well we were fine at WR that year.

Dumb da dumb dumb.

That’s not why we didn’t take him. Jerry was scared of his off field stuff.
 
I can see Dallas drafting Pitts if he is available, and then Jerry citing missing out on Randy Moss and not wanting to make that mistake again.
