So we cannot stop the run up the middle and we cannot rush the passer.

No sure what else we can do this year minus some big trade.
I dont think these can be fixed by a trade.

In one or two years, Romo and Witten will retire.
So that ultimately frees up $30 mil in a couple years.
Say Romo retires next June 1 and Witten retires following June 1.
With about $10 mil cap rise, there may be $15mil to spend in 2017.
That could be spent on a premium DL, preferably RDE for the pass rush.
Even in the unlikely event Gregory comes back like a champ, we probably still have to do this.

That leaves the draft.
Say we go round 1 and 2 for BPA for DT and MLB.
Some LB is needed even if Jaylon comes back to be the same player.

That is at least 3 D players to address the 2 worst weakness.
Probably resign Mo assuming the budget works.
