Dream: Pick one player (not QB) from any team that makes us an instant contender

[Bobhaze]

Dream Scenario: Pick one player from any team (NOT A QB) that by adding that player makes us an instant contender and WHY? (This is just for fun…I know some of the guys below are under contract with other teams. Just having fun here)

For me, I would consider three players as candidates before making my final choice.

• Candidate 1: Chiefs DT Chris Jones. First team All Pro. He represents everything we need on defense - a completely disruptive force on the LOS for defending the run and capable of also pressuring the QB. Offensive coordinators would immediately have to game plan for this guy and all he could do to disrupt their offensive game plan.
• Candidate 2: Niners LB Fred Warner. A two time first team All Pro, Warner can do it all. An athletic LB big enough to stuff the run while also outstanding in coverage. He’s a physical monster who brings the wood every play.
• Candidate 3: Lions OT Penai Sewell. A first team All Pro last year and still just 23 with huge upside. An excellent run blocker as well as pass blocker, he has already been a force on the lions excellent offense.

MY FINAL CHOICE: Chris Jones. As I stated above, he’s almost everything this defense desperately needs to finally be able to stop the run and control the LOS. And…he’s a FA.

Sadly, I doubt we have a chance, but he is exactly what this team needs most.
Who would you choose and WHY?

1) Mahomes
2)Tyreek
3)TJ Watt

Rule was you can’t pick a QB. And just pick one in the end.

 

[Big_D]

Chris Jones is that one area that's been sorely needed for a long time. That interior D line has to be the choice at this point.

Since you mentioned Fred already i'll add Christian McCaffrey. The Cowboys were mostly a 1 trick pony on offense and while CD is pretty dam good he needs a little help to keep defenses off balance.

 

[Carson]

Fred Warner all day

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Aaron Donald. Wanted him in the draft but Zack Martin wasn't a bad consolation prize

 

[Hawkeye0202]

RB....C McCaffrey
Lber....Fred Warner

 

[big dog cowboy]

Since Jones was mentioned I'll go with either Myles Garrett (1st choice) or Maxx Crosby.

ooops sorry I was just so excited to see a post from you it's been several days, i'll delete it!!

 

[Chocolate Lab]

There isn't one. Not that isn't a QB.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Tj Watt

 

[Havic]

Most impactful and immediate contender would be CMC.
Smartest choice based on age / productivity is Sewell

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Fred Warner all day

My choice also........take a look at his contract (2024). I'm guessing they restructure or ask him to take a pay cut.

I was going to put Chris Jones until I read your post. And imagine that, a guy who could actually change the team is a free agent! You talked the talk Jerry, now walk the walk, sign us Chris ‘Primetime‘ Jones.

 

[DallasEast]

Chris Jones. His Super Bowl performance solidified my opinion.

 

[maryquality]

I also vote for Chris Jones, but we all know it's just a fantasy as Jerry Jones won't sign him. I guess all we have left is our dreams! Lol

Stay on topic.

I understand that Christian Mac is great. With all respect to you guys though, without a huge upgrade in the beast positions- DT, LB and OL, skill position guys won’t help us enough IMO.

There's only 32 starting QBs. Of those, only 1 is elite and a game changer. Outside that person, no one can change a team around.
