Sewell. Period
The more I consider it, the more I agree with you -- securing an ideal protector for Dak would soundly support his career.

Sewell. Period
While this scenario is somewhat implausible you would take Pitts as Seawell is at best going to be your starting Guard for at least 1-2 seasons and a G is not worth it more than a TE.
You might choose spelling his name correctly, before issuing advice about him . . .
Eh you can blame my phone's auto correct, but that does not change anything. The honest board is always BPA at a position of need. BPA is just a cute phrase said by GMs but all the good ones are BPA at positions of need.
There's a considerable need, considering the fact that Tyron hasn't put in a complete season for the last three years.
It may get worse. There's been a multitude of injuries nagging him, including shoulder, back, neck, elbow, knee, etc.
It is not a considerable need because there is no scenario where the depth does not read him as a backup T until an injury occurs. It is a nice thing to have but is far from a need. If I were listing needs for the Cowboys T is not even top 5 on position groups (every defensive position, then TE, THEN T). Basically meaning your 10th pick is either a benchwarmer or a mediocre guard versus a generational talent. It is not even a close call.
I was adamant that the Cowboys take Def with their first three picks, but I am warming up to the idea of taking Sewell if he is there.Smith can't stay healthy any more with his lower back issues, you better protect your franchise QB's blindside, Sewell is the choice and it isn't a hard choice
By your own definition, TE isn't actually a need, either. The TEs that we already have in house are more than adequately suited to serve all of our needs there. Let's also be aware that Sewell would be much more suitable as a guard than Williams or McGovern is now. They simply haven't proven to be adequate in pass protection to justify their roster spots as starters. Both are simply more suited to serve as backups than as starters.
The Dallas Cowboys OLine starters are top 10 in the league and that is a conservative estimate. The Dallas Cowboys TE starters are bottom 10 in the league and that is probably being generous. Just because you have a player does not make them any good.
Basically if you draft Pitts you are drafting a generational talent that will be dominating defenses for the next 12 years and is a day 1 starter for sure. If you go Sewell, then you are looking at someone who might be a full-time starter by year 3 and may or may not reach that level, but even if he is you get him cheap for 2 years before it gets expensive in a hurry.
Good luck with your wishful aspirations of getting Pitts. Chances of that are minimal at best, to be sure. Your estimations of what our TEs are now is strictly a projection of your agenda-based guesswork. If you think Sewell isn't likely to be a starter 'til year three, that's just another example of your agenda taking precedence. Chances of Pitts belonging to Dallas are nil, without moving up to do so. Considering our needs being so great for a defensive draft, the cost of moving up to secure a TE just wouldn't be worth it. If it pleases you to dream, be my guest. It won't happen.
Or, tyron goes down, sewell goes in and dominats and you admit it was a great pick. Sewell could just as easily turn out to be the more valuable pick, I know you can see that. Lots of guys dominate college and never live up to the hype, it's a gamble period.The Dallas Cowboys OLine starters are top 10 in the league and that is a conservative estimate.

Lawrence is the best player in the draft, and it's not close.If Pitts is available you have to go with him.
He's the best player in the draft and it's not even really that close.
