The Cowboys will have their hands full with the Eagles. Davis, Jurgens, and Dean oh my. Davis and Jurgens are outstanding. We sure could have used Davis and Jurgens. Too bad that they are on the Eagles.

Like Chris Berman used to say ... " this is why we play the game "

While the Philly artwork looks good on Paper .. Lets see how it plays out on the playing field ..

I wouldn't have minded drafting Davis but Smith will have a bigger impact for the team and it will be iterestesting to see how many downs Davis plays. At Georgia he was better when they reduced his snaps.

I think the Titans got the better end of the WR trade. Brown's availability has been decreasing every year.

Damone Clark could turn out to be a bigger steal than Dean

I guess we'll find out but Jurgens looked like a reach to me.

The Eagles might not have a QB but otherwise they’re a much better run team and roster than the Cowboys. Even with Hurts, if someone put a gun to my head, I’d take the Eagles having a better record this year.

Cowboys look like a Tyron injury away from being a 8-9 team.

I think you take football way too seriously. It's a game. As far as I'm concerned, the OP is a Cowboys fan. I don't agree with his premise as I think we are still head and shoulders ahead of the Eagles, especially at QB. That said, the OP is entitled to his opinion, just as you are to your own and I am to my opinion. I don't think it means war if someone makes a complimentary point to an opponent. If anything, to me, as a Cowboys fan, it highlights an area that the FO should acknowledge and make adjustments as they see fit. I'd imagine the FO would make additional countermoves if the OP ends up being correct. However, his point, to me, is far from benchable. That's like saying that it's benchable to state that the Rams have a top defence, or that the Jaguars are probably going to win only 2 games this season. It's an opinion, and, as far as I can tell, it doesn't violate any rules.

There is no shame in admitting your opponents have talent. Geez

Exactly, a general doesn't go into battling without scouting his opponent. He doesn't just think, "I have 53 of the best men....well, two are wounded, and 8 are complete morons, but we will win. And nobody is allowed to tell me otherwise." A general will find out what his opponent is so that he can find out what he needs to successfully achieve his objective. Thus, by pointing out an area of weakness or something the opponent has as a strength, then the general can get an idea of what he needs to beat his opponent.

I read during the draft where Jordan can and will take plays off now and then, does not give 100% effort all the time.
He could be a bust or a JAG.
However, Eagles usually has a pretty decent front 7.

We did whip them pretty good last season.

You can say the same about Cowboys draft but unlike Jerry most teams address their problems ahead of time.

Generals don’t lead men into battle. It’s the Platoon commanders. Usually Lt. or Captains. One round start coming from down range you’re fighting to stay alive and keep your buddies alive.

Ok, but you get the point. The person in charge of the battle has to know the strengths of his opponent to know how to beat the opponent.

Yeah they plan the big picture.

Exactly, and, in this case, if we as fans can see strengths and weaknesses in an opponent, then surely the FO does as well. They have to employ the coaches and players so that they can be in the best position to beat the opponent.

The Egirls will have to be reckoned with this year, no cakewalks like last year.
I still think we have an overall better team because of Dak.

Eagles were smart. They knew they didn't need a lot, so they traded up for a monster in Davis. Traded one of their 1sts for a fine WR in AJ Brown, then took a very good C in Jurgens.

The only place they're still missing talent is QB.
And in the NFL, that missing piece at QB matters most.

Davis is so good that he messed up the Jets QB’s knee and wasn’t even within 20 yards of him.

Now that is good!
I almost felt bad for the Jets center on that play. Davis just bull rushed him and tossed him to the ground like a rag doll. Our coaches will have Biadasz ready.

That's what happens when you pick high in each round have multiple first round picks.
yeah but how did they wind up with those picks?
How come dallas never has 2 1st or even 2nd round picks?

thier gm is getting those picks, while ours gets a 5th for amari lol
