MLB as a top draft need?

[Common Sense]

What do you do if Jaylon's nerve still hasn't fired by March?

Then middle line backer is right behind DE as our biggest need.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Not with Hitch and Wilson (possibly Nacho) on the 53. We have far bigger needs.

I am starting to become very pessimistic about it and think he never plays, or plays at full strength. That said I'd rather spend the resources on a difference maker either on the D Line or secondary.

I like the developing players at LB better than some other positions.

Hitchens had his best game when Durant was out and they didn't split snaps.

Wilson has looked good.

Nacho looked really good in the preseason. I'm not sure he is 100% yet after his injury and he need a full preseason.

They normally play 2 LBs so they rarely need 3.

WR and DE are the big needs.

if Zach Cunningham or Raekwon McMIllan is available at our pick, we NEED to consider them.

If Cunningham is available within a few picks from us I would trade up for him.

I have no ideal how this draft plays out come April, but if Cunningham falls to us in the first round. Rod Marinelli should threaten Jerry with violence if he doesn't pull the trigger on this kid.

Cunningham is a tackling machine and would excel in a Marinelli's defense, despite not recording any sacks this year. Imagine Lee, Smith, Cunningham has our linebacker unit.

The SLB only plays a handful of snaps. Last week the Cowboys used a Strong Side LB for 7 snaps.

Smith would need to play some snaps at DE on 3rd and long to make it worth it.

I dont think he will. I dont really see him as an NFL rusher. Blitzer yes, rusher no.

Unless he is not going to be healthy, I think the only type of LB we add in the first would be a Leo type player. A guy who can play SLB and RDE on passing downs. Likr a McKinley

That makes more sense than drafting a standard 4-3 LB IFFFFF Jaylon Smith's leg is working by draft time.

Even without Jaylon, I'm hesitant to draft a 4-3 LB in the 1st unless he is by far the BPA. WR, DE and CB are hardest positions to fill.

As late in the first as we will be drafting, LB being BPA is always a possibility

 

[stilltheguru88]

Lee doesn't have much time left anyway (let's be honest) so I'm not opposed to drafting Cunningham at all if he's there.

 

[AzorAhai]

If Jaylons knee is firing by the draft, they should act like he's not even here. In that case its DE, WR, CB/LB depending on who they bring back.

Of course it's all speculation at this point. The Cowboys could re-sign Carr/Claiborne, Church, have Jaylon fully heal and sign a high priced DE leaving WR as the real need.
