No way I would use a top 5 pick on a RB. That's insane. And this crop of QB's isn't elite. Epic fail by Goose on this one

BoysFan4ever · Dec 23, 2015

I absolutely agree with him.

they need playmakers.

Columnist Rick Gosselin answered questions in a chat Monday. Here are some highlights.

Question: although we know the Cowboys need to draft a qb, I don't trust this coaching staff to develop him 1 bit! Tell me how Houston is leading the afc south at 7-7 and they have played 5 diff qb's this yr yet Dallas is 4-10 and we have played 4 diff qb's this yr? The coaches on the offensive side of the ball are a joke here. What gives?

Rick Gosselin: Pittsburgh and Houston have both won games with three different starting quarterbacks this season. The Cowboys have put all their chips on Romo and haven't made an effort to bring in a quality young backup. They prefer to go the Kitna, Orton, Weeden, Cassel route. Until this staff develops a young quarterback, I'm going to have my doubts that they can.

I have my doubts about this too. Sean Payton is the one who who developed Romo (not to mention what he did for Drew Brees).

This is insane thinking, I agree. A QB I could see if the right one falls to us but RB? Not a chance.

If we trade back, pick up an extra first for the next season as well as a couple more picks for this season...I could see taking the best RB in the draft but not reaching for one in the top 5 when many of the best running backs in the league were not even taken in the first round.

There is only one thing I am confident about with this FO, they will NOT pick a TE in the 1st round. It will be the 2nd round.

Can't wait to see him on the bench.

I would pass on Jones and Hack. If we pass on one in the first, I wouldn't mind seeing a guy like Hogan picked in the 4th-5th round

A TE after the 2nd round? :lmao2:

Glad Gosselin isn't the head scout. Draft a RB with the top 5 pick?

Pick 1 difference maker
Pick 2 Defense, depending on first pick, anyone who can send Wilcox to the bence foreve
Pick 3 QB prospect

Sydla · Dec 23, 2015

No offense, but that's idiotic by Gosselin. RB with a Top 5 pick? That's the height of stupidity right there.

didn't Payton leave before Romo was the starter? He was still developing wirhout Payton. But it sure wasn't Wilson. Didn't Garrett come in and helped with QB's when he was the OC/
I can't recall the timelines right now.

lmao they aren't drafting a RB after McFadden and Turbin proved more than serviceable

they need a ball hawking safety that hits like a freight train

jazzcat22 · Dec 23, 2015

A rarity, extreme rarity...I agree with Gosselin....
Actually I think he agrees with me, he must read my posts.... :laugh:

How long and how many times have I said we need to go with the first 2 picks, QB / RB or RB / QB...depending on where he pick at. He got his idea from me... :laugh:

Lynch or Goff in 1st, Henry in 2nd if we get a top 7 pick.
If middle of the 1st round, Elliot 1st, Wentz in 2nd, or Hackenberg. But they could go with cook in mid 1st round.

Other than Bosa or Ramsey with our 1st round pick, is in top 5. what player would truly come in and be an impact day one. If a player is going to develop, let that be a QB behind one of the best QB's in the NFL.
If we resign Hardy, we wouldn't really need Bosa. But I wouldn't complain.

Staubacher · Dec 23, 2015

If there isn't a QB or RB worth a top 5 pick, don't force it.

Get the best impact player when you are that high, whether it be offense or defense.

Andrew Billings is a Suh-type player. He would instantly make our defensive line dominant.

Well, they are part way there. They have 2 freight trains at S. They cover receivers like freight trains, and miss tackles like freight trains.
so, yeah, need a S. They can have one, in Byron Jones, if not kept at CB.

I like Ezekiel Elliott and would love to see him play for the Cowboys. But not if we have to take him with a top 5 pick.

Absent a standout quarterback (and I'm not convinced Lynch and Goff are), you build the defense or the offensive line. We're set at offensive line. We need more defensive playmakers. You can never have enough of them, and they become particularly more important the deeper into the season you get.

If Leonard Fournette were available, would he be worthy of the top 5, in your opinion?

NEODOG · Dec 23, 2015

Defense Defense Defense

CB-Hargraves
DT-Robinson

Those are my 2 choices

I agree----I would take an elite receiver if he was there though. Imagine adding a player with Julio Jones or Odell Beckham potential outside of Dez. Dez being hobbled this year showed how unreliable our group of receivers can be if injuries start to pile up with Dez.
