Current Depth Chart

[VaqueroTD]

Not quite that bad but I see your point.

I'll gladly take Campo's depth chart at Safety!

 

[tm1119]

I count 8 positions that urgently need to be addressed.

RB
WR3
LG
C
DE depth
DT depth
LB
CB

Realistically you can expect 2 rookies to contribute, at best 3. So that means 5 or 6 big signings coming up from the Jones’…in like 2 weeks and the average salary will be about $2M

Prime Roy Williams and Darren Woodson were quite the pair.

Tyler isn’t a LT.

He struggled at LT.

 

[John813]

That LB group may be the worst I’ve ever seen on this team in my life

It reminds me of the group after Lee would die mid season lol

Tyler isn’t a LT.

He struggled at LT.

He was a late 1st round rookie from a non power 5 conference that played at an above average level from day 1. Did he struggle at times? Yes, no doubt. But none of those struggles were due to lack of size, athleticism or strength. He needed technique adjustments and experience like every rookie.

Moving Tyler off of LT with no plan for the position other than 1 more injury plagued year of Tyron was 1 of the dumber moves this franchise has done in a while. Right up there with the complete fumbling of the entire Cooper situation.

With all that said…I won’t be surprised if Tyler does stay at LG and pick #24 is already written in stone as a LT.

If a LT is far and away the best player available, which is the likely scenario. Why wouldn't you draft a LT?

Assuming we don't sign any surefire starters in free agency (highly likely), and assuming we don't trade for any starters (pretty likely) or acquire more picks (likely), we will need to find four to five starters--LT, C, RB, LB, DT--from the draft. This is likely impossible and an obviously insane approach, considering we draft later in each round and also don't have a fourth rounder.

So the problem is we have more needs than we can possibly resolve. We have to prioritize these needs cause we can't solve 'em all, which also likely precludes us from upgrading at other very weak positions (WR, DE), regardless of the players that become available.

So what gives? What are the positions that we are OK with not solving in the draft? What are the needs that we are OK pushing to the side if the opportunity arises? Who are the players we are counting on to fill all these holes (Bass? Huff? Sam Williams? Overshown?). How will we get these guys if everyone and their mom knows that we absolutely need to fill these open roles?

How is the team not thinking about these questions?! Or trying to at least reduce these questions? This is the Allen Hurns offseason on crack

When did I say you shouldn’t?

I’m just saying you shouldn’t go into the draft NEEDING to fill a hole at a certain position…especially not 1 as important as LT. And even more so when you’re drafting at 24.

My prediction
-They bring back 1 of Gilmore or Lewis along with Rico
-About 7-10 days from now they’ll eventually sign a cheap LB and DT(or bring back Hankins)
-Draft OT-RB-OC in the 1st 3 rounds
-Look for players to get cut/old guys that haven’t signed in camp to fill CB, WR, RB, and DE as needed.

 

[Whyjerry]

Parsons a full time DE? Really? How did that happen?

 

[zrinkill]

O-line and LB looks horrid

Highly likely. I wish the first three rounds weren't as prescripted and we were free to grab a falling player, like we did with Ceedee. Chances are, looking OT, C, RB in the first three will force us to take the best of one of those positions, rather than best player. That's how we ended up with Schoonmaker, Kelvin

Overall still a strong roster but there are holes at LB, RB, LG, C, and DT. Cowboys must take care of atleast 3 or 4 of these needs in free agency to provide some draft flexibility and ability to add depth without reaching. The good news is at many of these positions they had average players in those spots so its not like they need to replace 5 superstars and presumably can potentially still upgrade.
