Most Pressing Needs?

[CouchCoach]

As of now, we don't know which of our own FA's we re-sign but we have to assume they do not let Lawrence, Lord Byron, Swaim or Ladoce, Laduce, Ladace, the Long Snapper walk but it is a possibility R. Smith, Beasley and Austin do walk. Let's assume all 3 are gone.

This is my needs list with that assumption for either FA or the draft. Re-arrange your list and if there's a FA you've got your eye on, add him next to that need. I do think there might be a better chance to sign one or two significant FA's since they do not have a 1st rounder and need some players to step in and start. Obviously, that would affect the Draft Needs Board, coming later. And look for a thread coming soon, the ever popular Draft Game.

DT
S, Earl Thomas
OL
TE
RB/KR
WR/PR
DE

That's my 7 ranked in order of need, how about yours?

All will come via the draft or bottom barrel Free agents.

If you can run the ball and stop the run you will make the playoffs and have a chance. If you can't stop the run (Rams game) you will lose. Exceptions are if you have one of the top 2 or 3 QBs in the league like Mahomes, Eli or Rodgers. It all starts up front.

DT
agreed

S, Earl Thomas
ain't gonna happen, wasted $s, draft a young play maker, R4 pick

OL
LG/C is critical

TE
no need

RB/KR
any healthy speed back will do

WR/PR
forget the PR aspects - they need a big deep WR who can go up ad get it

DE
no need

That’s a pretty solid ranking, IMO.

I do think that Dallas needs a much better backup to Elliott than what they’ve had. They need someone that actually worries defenses, at least a little. A good back should be available in the 5th-6th round range.

I also think it’s important to find another WR if Beasley does indeed leave. I’d prefer it in FA rather than the draft but there are some guys I like in the draft. The problem there is that those guys will likely go in the 2nd-3rd round area. I’m not sure I want to use either of those picks on a WR after using the first on Cooper.

DT is a need I see... it should be an easy upgrade using a second or third in this deep DT draft. That’s where I’d want Dallas to go first at this early stage in the process. Need and opportunity align nicely there, just like Awuzie and Lewis in that deep secondary draft.

I’d love a good TE and I’d be willing to go there in the second for the right guy, but I’m afraid they’ll be gone by the time Dallas is on the clock.

Overall, I’d probably just go with the best DT, S, or TE at pick 58, unless someone just knocked my socks off at OL or WR.

DT is a new one. I don't think I've ever heard anybody say we needed one of those before.

Must admit I had a double take and not sure if serious moment before deciding you were trolling.

Nicely done.

Very good list of needs and in a very thoughtful order.

 

[visionary]

GM
HC
QB

but leaving those aside

1. 1T DT starter
2. Starting FS
3. Starting TE
4. Back up OT and OG
5. Slot WR who is also PR/KR
6. Back up RB who can be a real bell cow

 

[Aven8]

TE, speed back, and rangy safety that can track the ball just off the top of my head. Oh, and LT and LG

 

[MCMetal69]

1. Lower priced tickets
2. Free beer at games
3. Every phone number from every single Cowboy's cheerleader for me
4. DT
5. Safety
6. O-line
7. A solid back-up RB

 

[conner01]

I see OT very high
Collins is in last year of his contract and our swing tackle is a FA
But at 58 I hope they just get the best player, don’t reach for need

 

[charron]

OL
DL
S
CB
WR
TE
RB

 

[Teague31]

Pretty much what has already been posted

S
DT
TE

Those are the top three for me

 

[Bullflop]

Any of this team's needs mentioned the most here should likely be our earliest choices, depending upon the best talents available in each round. It's often been reported that TEs and DTs are relatively plentiful as compared to the talent available at other positions.
