CFZ Front office moves have been a nice change

[LatinMind]

Wether you spend most of your time criticizing the FO or defending them you have to welcome this offseason. I've agreed with what they've done because they had a plan to get money and filled needs with exp allowing them to draft smart instead of for need.

Cooks was a good safe move. He's not going to make waves, just do his job. The same with Gilmore, the best part of these trades were both share their knowledge with the young guys. We saw this last yr with Hankins, the DL interior improved.

I know some will still find something to complain about, even I have those thoughts. Like while Cooks is a nice add, I'd have liked Hopkins or Evans if either could've been had. I do think I'm happy with Cooks over OBJ tho. Get a feeling OBJ is gonna be a headache for somebody.

So whichever side of the fence youre on, seeing them with a plan on what they wanted to do and executing it early instead of dragging it out like they do every other offseason until this yr has to be a welcomed sight. They got it done and they've had this much more time to know what exactly they need and who they need to look at and focus on.

Even this whole Tackle situation, wether you agree with it or not. You have to like that they are set with what they're going to do and have simply LG to deal with. I'll say it now lock it in for a G at 26. And the way they draft OL especially in round 1 lock him in already at LG for the next decade.

And wether you don't agree with SJ saying they're basically good at DT with expected Hankins and Watkins. Again atleast they had a plan, this is the biggest dislike for me. Me personally ithink with what this DL did to the niners running game influenced this decision. Dallas basically shut it down, Dallas shut McCaffery down, but the bigger shut down for me was deebo. They held him to a 2.8 ypc.

So wether you agree with what they've done or not, the plan execution has been very good.

I'm happy to have Cooks instead of OBJ. The move is mid with upside. OBJ was a poor to epidemic level bad fit.

Hopkins has the most potential to have a big year as a #1 but he's basically a slower version of CeeDee. I also doubt he would have lowered his salary to 2 yr 20 million like Cooks did and would cost more in draft picks.

Cooks has the speed they needed on the outside and has been a consistent 1000 receiver as long as he's on the field for most of the season.

OBJ hasn't put up numbers in quite some time. He's too much of a gamble unless he was a cheap deal which he isn't.

I'm fine with the Cooks trade. Agree with everything you said. Just my personal preference but they nailed it. Especially with they way they broke down the money. Genius stuff there. I even said they'd do this when people were already talking about his caphit.

I have been very pleasantly surprised!

 

[gimmesix]

My mantra has been for the team to make two impact FA moves each year. Even though these were trades, they are impact moves, so I can't complain. Sure, we still could better use free agency to upgrade other spots as well, but I'm trying to keep my expectations realistic, and this is better than I realistically expected.

Hopkins hasn’t done anything in years, plus he’s too expensive. Cooks best of all worlds.

what moves? we made two trades with low round picks for two 30+ year old players past their prime and you call that a nice change. if Brown wasn't injured, that trade doesn't happen. they realized they lacked in WR and found cheapest route out. these were to appease fans like yourself to generate "hope" as Jerry always does. obviously its working with some fans.

And what would have you done or prefer?
Sign high dollar FA's, that really don't make that big of difference anyway. As eventually fans will complain about that as well.

What they have done makes the roster better than last year, while at the same time keeping some players in place that helped the team to a 12-5 record.
Maybe all they need is a little better to get where they want and we want them to be.

 

[BigStar]

I'm pleasantly surprised tbh.

They didn't go out and sign the top FAs, but all the moves have made sense and improved the team wo interfering with the ability to re-sign Micah.

Like someone said above, they didn't vacation this time around. Even if just for appearances, I appreciated that as a fan. They're not "Above FA" as seemed to be their stance for about a decade.

 

[Silly]

What would have been a good move would have been trading old vets like Zeke, Dez, or Witten for draft picks before they became old jalopies. The front office has a long way to go before they merit our confidence and or compliments.

 

[Sydla]

I like the chances taken on Gilmore and Cooks. Traded cheap picks to acquire what should be upgrades.

I am OK with LVE. I could have used an upgrade there but they can still find some LBs in the draft.

I still am flummoxed by their approach to DT, even with Hankins back. But I need to come to grips with the reality that these two guys in charge simply view DT as one of the more unimportant positions behind TB or WR or CB.

Offseason thus far? B.

 

[plasticman]

I also question their moves at DT. I don't think a draft pick can solve the issue, every Super Bowl team had an elite DT.

I also question why they wouildn't sign a veteran RB to replace Zeke. Now, they must depend on the draft to get their 2nd RB and they must depend on that rookie to perform at a high level next season. perhaps they will draft two RB's.

No they don't. I'm sure Ronald Jones can get it done if they need him to

 

[Verdict]

The next guys on this list might be Steele, Tyron, or Diggs for contract reasons. You move them before you have to.

Tyron is almost done. Draft an OT and extort a pick out a team for Tyron at the trade deadline.

It also appears that the Cowboys has an integrated and functional handle on cash flows and player evaluations with the future in hand.

I don’t think most of us are dug in as to which side of the fence we are on when discussing the FO. We give them credit when it is due and criticize it when they fall short.

Last year, they chose to stand pat when other NFC contenders made bold moves however this preseason they finally realized the weakness of the NFC and have made some good moves.
