It's time to do some math

[J12B]

Of course we have to remember Witten had just told the team he was going to retire, and the team was a little caught off guard, plus the team didn’t yet know Irving was going to be out or that Collins was going to get hurt. 3Tech type DTs were not a shortage for the Cowboys at the time.

Very true. But he had so much value and would have been a nice replacement to Crawford.

Hopefully Schultz starts showing up more because we do need a reliable TE.

I agree on not having seen a damn thing from Schultz, but he was a consensus top 5 tight end in the 2018 draft class for a reason. (Bad year for TEs, I know.) If they can't find a way to IR him, like the Eagles did with the disappointing Donnel Pumphrey last year, I find it unlikely that they'll want to take their chances on him clearing waivers and us being able to store him on PS for a year.

Consensus top 5? Not what I saw.

Except they were almost certain to have kept Crawford, and even without Crawford the team had an abundance of 3 Techs.

But I don’t disagree about it being nice to get so much value with somlate a pick. It’s interesting though because the other 31 teams also passed on him until the 5th round, so it seems it wasn’t just the Cowboys that had worries about the heart issue.

I'm going by all the analyst picks.... most had Dallas Goedert #1 and then the rest... Hayden Hurst was a surprise pick, for sure, especially considering his age and lack of sped.

I agree but what position group do you cut from to add another? I would be more comfortable at 9 too

There's no point in keeping 11 dline to start the season this year. They could go 4 at cb as only one of the 4 bubble players they're considering isn't ps eligible. Not sure any of the safeties outside of top 3 are worth keeping, and look more like ps candidates themselves. The team routinely kept 10 online before the investment began with Smith so they shouldn't have too much issue figuring it out.

Walter Football had Schultz rated no. 8 at tight end prospects for 2018.
PFF didn't even rank him top 10.
USA Today had him ranked 6th.
Draftek had him 5th.

Not a consensus top 5 from what I found...

Quantity is useless, it's all about quality. Quantity? you can always find guys off various PS's throughout the season if guys get injured.

Until Freddy is back... Tyron, Williams, Looney, Martin, Collins, Fleming, Green, and Edwards are your 8 guys... nobody else is close to NFL caliber.

Walter Football lists several guards possibly available, most in there late 20's, with a 2 1/2 star rating, i.e. average. Joe Berger retired, and is 36 but was still productive and is rated at 3 stars.

Maybe tempt him out of retirement?

He had a solid career after we let him go, instead choosing to trot out slow floundering scrubs like Davis and Gurode... aka the Great Sieve of Dallas.

I need better glasses. I thought the premise of this thread was it is time to do some METH.
