Let's try to think the way this front office operates (1st rd pick)

[Carson]

I'm thinking a back like Zach Moss in fa and then add another on day 2 of the draft. We need to move on from Pollard no matter the price.

Gus Edwards and Braelon Allen for me

Why is everyone forgetting Asim Richards?? Looked like a plug-in starter as a 5th rounder.

If they sign resign Tyron, Richards will probably be the swing tackle.

Yes, but this franchise would of had to extend his contract as well. The Cowboys salary structure has always been backwards, paying the running back and not paying the DT position.

This offseason will be interesting. I wonder what they are going to do. I think they are going to try to pressure Dak into taking a hometown discount.

What we do know is, something has to happen: extend him, restructure/add more voidable years or trade him (highly unlikely). They have to create more cap space to operate the team next season, 60 million cap number isn't going to make that possible.

That's not bad. What we need is inside/zone runners, not the outside/zone speed types like the 49ers/Dolphins implore.

Zero chance…Dak has all the leverage and will likely get a top 3 contract like it or not.

This board will explode. If Jimmy is advising the Joneses would he be ok with the extension?

I’m sure some will…but it’s the best path forward in order to build a championship team if the FO actually
makes move for once.

If Jimmy is advising the Jones he’ll probably tell them to grow some balls and be aggressive in FA and trades and try to make a run while you actually have a good QB.

 

[Zekeats]

I'm trying to think of a Jaylon Smith or Damone Clark type they would get in the 2nd, maybe overdrafted 2 rounds or so.

how about a tight end

This front office doesn't usually draft future starters, they like to target, day 1 plug and play starters. Now with a HC on a one year deal and Jerry coming out and saying this offseason won't be as much for the future, but more improving the team in the present, which positions have an opening?

QB-Dak is expected to be back in some form.
RB-there isn't a back worthy of a 1st rd selection this yr.
WR-strong possibility, where teams usually start 3 receivers. Gallup may not return, Tolbert still remains more of a backup.
TE-Very deep and just used a 2nd rd pick
T-If Tyron Smith is back, they aren't drafting a 1st rd Tackle to sit, but if he doesn't return becomes top need.
G-once again, where is this 1st rd player going to start?
C-strong possibility if they allow Biaz to leave via fa

DE-possible. A lot will depend on how Zimmer is going to use Parsons
3DT-possible. It would depend upon how they feel about Osa
NT-not happening with this franchise in back to back years, but is a need
LB-there isn't a linebacker worthy of a 1st rd selection.
CB-Strong possibility, Zimmer loves 1st rd corners, but will depend on if Gilmore resigns
S-they just resigned both starting safeties

Good post this draft is already telegraphed.

1st round OL(maybe a slight trade back)
2nd round LB
3rd 3 tech DT
Next pick RB
