Watt would make a much better impact that Olshansky.

but cas, the question is not whether whoever we pick will make more of an impact than who we havem the question is whether who we pick will make more of an impact than who we would have picked at that spot

ie not watt vs olshansky

rather

watt vs smith/costanzo/etc

Updating what I reported yesterday, Goose has Dallas selecting Watt in his latest mock:

that makes it offical then

we will not pick Watt

That's a fair assessment and I agree with that. I think Smith or Costanzo would make more of an impact than Watt.

....the more I think about it, we should take Smith. Kid is a beast and a half. We could RUE if we don't.....

Remember that Goose's 2nd to last mock is more towards how he ranks players overall vs. where they'll go. The one he puts out on Thursday will be the best representation of a true mock.

Always a good idea to remind some of this.
His mocks mean nothing until the day of. Then they tend to be fairly accurate.

If Patrick Peterson is out of reach, it's becoming more likely that Dallas will trade down, try to pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd, and draft....

JJ Watt from Wisconsin.

A report came out that the Cowboys LOVE him, and it's very sincere and true.

Watt will be the target in a trade down, and the Cowboys could use those extra, acquired picks to move back into the late 1st, and target an OT like Nate Solder or Derek Sherrod if they happen to fall.

then i'll pray Watt is long gone when we pick, what a waste.
Why not just draft another QB or WR or another position that we don't desperately need? At least the value for pick would make more sense.
