Like I said this thread is just for fun.

Let's say Dallas ends up winning the Superbowl. They beat Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Let's also say that the front office figures out a way to bring back all the key pending free agents: Gregory, Shultz, Gallup, Kazee, Neal (at least those who I consider as key).

Who or what positions do we draft at 32, 64, 96, 4th round, 5th round, 5th round comp?

It seems like the front office could draft whoever they want considering they just won a Superbowl and brought back all the key players.

I'd say something like this

1st round DE
2nd Round S
3rd Round RB (to replace Zeke in 2023)
4th Round LB
5th Round LB
5th Round TE

How do we bring back those players I mentioned

Restructure Dak and Zak Martin. That alone could free up $25 million in cap space

Cut Jarwin and Anthony Brown. We've got McKean and Sprinkle as solid back ups for TE and give the keys to either Lewis or Joseph as CB2. Those 2 cuts frees up $9 million

The $34 million created in cap space would put us around $22 million in cap space for '22 since we are projected to be over $12 million of the cap to start the new season.

Create an additional $8 million in cap space through other restructures and we now have $30 million in cap space.

Cap hit:
Gregory $6 million
Schultz $5.5 million
Gallup $ 6 million
Kazee $3 million
Neal $3 million

Leaving $6.5 million in cap space to sign the rookie class.
 
You drafted 0 offensive linemen? Zero? Like not even one?

I know we won the super bowl but that doesn’t mean we stop trying to win another one

Can we restructure Cooper, Collins and Lawrence
 
None of the hypotheticals matter just continue going with the best player available with our first pick.
 
You never draft a position at a particular spot before you actually see who is available to pick.
If that were the case, we would not have gotten Lamb in 22020 or Parsons in 2021.

Now if you mean, what are the priorities...
Oline, DT, LB, S, maybe CB too

Why would you cut Brown? On his contract he is very tradeable
 
I'd go tackle, pass rusher, TE, guard, and so whatever after that.
 
First round is offensive guard no doubt.

And drafting Micah Parsons is the reason why it's good to lose games if your season is over. Don't look for the short-term satisfaction of winning, look for the long-term benefits of losing. I am so glad we went 6 to 10 last year.
 
A bit early, but after looking over the players in the draft it might be best to go:
1st-2nd...DE/OT
3rd-4th...LB/OG
5th-6th...RB/TE/S
7th...K
 
1st- Sam Williams DE Mississippi



2nd- Ed Ingram OG LSU


3rd- Smoke Monday S Auburn


4th- Jelani Woods TE Virginia


5th(A)Braxton Jones OT Southern Utah(#77 Left Tackle)
 
5th(B)- Demetrius Taylor DT Appalachian State


6th- Jaylond Adams WR Southern Mississippi
