If you were the GM of the Cowboys what moves would you make to improve the team? Who would you get rid of and what areas would you try to upgrade?
Right now or starting in this next offseason? Right now, I stand pat because the trade deadline is past and I don't know of any improvements over what we already have sitting on the couch.
Come offseason, though, the one roster position in my opinion that needs an immediate upgrade is Strong Safety. We could get better at alot of positions, don't get me wrong, but Heath, in my opinion, is a huge liability in coverage...and here lately, in run support, as well. The linebacker ranks could use some fresh legs and they absolutely need to start thinking about who will be Sean Lee's successor...I suspect he's at most 3 years from being done. Do we already have Witten's successor in house? That's a question I'd like my coaches to sound off on, because given what we've seen in-game, his back ups have a lot of proving to do. Off the top of my head, I don't know who will be Free Agents at the end of the year, but I'm keeping ZMartin, DLaw and DIrving, no matter what. Obviously, a space-eating DT will be on my target list.
Ultimately, though, I really like how the Cowboys have drafted over the last several years, particularly when they let the draft come to them. I really don't like the idea of moving up or down, if it can be avoided. That said, if Heath's replacement is there, I might make a concerted effort to go get him. Otherwise, keep the development train on who we have in house rolling and see what talent rises to the top in training camp.
