My post season team needs!

[Cowboyny]

This team clearly has to get better running the football and stopping the run. They also have other areas to address:

Priority Needs

-Running Back-great fa class, average draft class. Might be better to target a veteran on a short-year deal.
-Center-believe if they wanted to keep Biaz, he will already been resigned. Draft Priority.
-Mike Linebacker-no more undersize, athletic types, find an instinctive, big linebacker
-Corner-Gilmore probably isn't resigned. Is Bland better as a slot, does the team need to add more speed at the position?

Secondary Needs

-NT-is Mazi the future? How many years can they continue band-aiding the position?
-Defensive End-both Armstrong/Fowler are fa's, can Sam Williams be trusted? Parsons is a terrible run defender at DE who struggles setting the edge
-Wide Receiver-it's pretty much Lamb and a bunch of role players. They need to replace Cooks with a legitimate 1A type of receiver down the line.
-Left Tackle-always have the option of moving Tyler Smith, but think Richards has a chance to be the future. Tyron probably returns for another season as a bridge.
-Right Guard-Bass had a good rookie season and is more of a phone booth type, but they have to think about the future.

We are weak in the trenches on both sides of the ball. We're aging on the OL and particularly weak at C. On defense, we are also particularly weak in the middle and have basically one guy who can rush the passer well, one guy who is a solid pass rusher who is going into his 11th season, and after that a bunch of guys.

CB to me is not a need at all. We should not spend premium picks or dollars on that position. A better front seven makes the secondary look a hell of a lot better. I'm not worried about corner.

There will be affordable options to upgrade the RB position in FA, and probably in the middle part of the draft, too...though we don't have much in terms of middle round picks.

All this being said, if one of the top QBs drops and our scouts have a conviction about him, I am taking him. Of course, I know there is zero chance of that happening.

 

[kiheikiwi]

Not a strong RB draft, couple of the stronger ones going back to school. Oline for sure, Center, OT, LBer and Running Back. Dline also a sneaky need.
Scott (CB) better step up in year 2, traded up for him. Safety also.

 

[Montanalo]

I think both the OL ad DL (both DT and DE) are priorities.

RB is a priority, but I wouldn't devote an early draft pick to a back.

LB is also a priority and, while Overshown hasn't a down yet in regular season, I still wouldn't devote a high draft pick on a LB

I’d be fine with OT, C, CB, WR or Edge in the 1st. Not sure there is a 1st round LBr.

I agree, off the ball linebacker usually come off on day 2. Same could be said about running backs.

Probably right.

 

[Creeper]

The priority need is defense and in particular run defense. I am not counting on Mazi. I hope he develops but asking him to lose 30 lbs may have ruined him for a year or two. I think it might be better to get a DT in free agency, there are several studs. A free agent provides immediate help while a draft pick would take a couple of years to develop.

They also need LBs. I would see what is available in the draft. But I don't think LVE is coming back and he wasn't that great to being with. I want a guy with size, range and instincts, a Sean Lee type who will not spend his career in the training room.

I agree they need to replace Biadasz. I wouldn't resign him either. If push comes to shove, I think they are happy with Brock Hoffman moving over there. Hoffman showed some fight when he played one game for Zack Martin. Maybe he kicks it up a notch with another offseason too. Perhaps even Bass can play Center. He has size and he looks stronger than Biadasz. Next year he might be more than adequate to man the position.

RB is a priority, but not in the first 2 rounds. I think they can draft one in the 3rd and maybe bring a bunch in as UDFAs. I would love to sign Jacobs but I think the Cowboys need to reserve their CAP for other positions.

I think Dallas needs a real WR2. Gallup is not that guy. They need to take all the pressure off CeeDee. In today's NFL you have to have two quality WRs. Cooks is more of a WR3.

With Diggs coming back, CB is not a high priority. They have Diggs coming back. They should sign Gilmore or Lewis. I'd probably go with Lewis because Gilmore looks like he is getting a little old and slow. I am wondering what they see in Eric Scott. They moved up to draft him. They kept him on the roster all year and did not expose him in the practice squad. In protecting him, they let players at other positions go,, including 2 LBs. After all that if he doesn;t hit the field next year it will be a huge waste.

One thing they do not need is TE. They have Stephens and Fant back next year with Fergie, Schoonmaker and Hendershot. I think Hendershot get cut before the season starts. One thing the Cowboys offense could do to improve, especially if their running game doesn't get going, is to utilize both TEs more.

i will do some film work on this and make a video and post it on here on Saturday regarding our needs and players that will fit in those spots... i am doing this to get over the loss myself and have wanted to get into this for a long-time as i am a lurking draft nerd...hopefully you guys will enjoy my content.

i will give a teaser into what i'm looking into:

OT - Fuaga, Morgan, Guyton
C - Power Johnson, Barton (Guard/C flex)

i don't think we go NT in rd 1 again, this class is very OT heavy. Position value will lead us to picking in the trenches on the O. I know you guys want linebacker but i will speak to this more on where they rank and why the value is not there round 1

Past experience tells us that be weary of players come off of an acl injury.

 

[Aven8]

We can find RB’s in any round but we have to draft them! Pancheco was a 7th rounder for crying out loud.

Top three priority needs are at Center, Linebacker and Running back. Agree corner isn't as pressing.

Player like Barton fits ideally due to his positional flex.

-Right Guard-Bass had a good rookie season and is more of a phone booth type, but they have to think about the future.

They have to figure if they want Mazi to be an NT or a big 3T. If their goal is someone in the Dexter Lawrence/Christian Wilken vein, they need a 1T. I think that would be a mistake though

Im liking the idea of an OC in the 2nd. Good prospects there. And guys that could be day 1 upgrades over Biadasz

I think Bass has the ability to be more than a phone booth guy once he gets more comfortable playing inside. There is some good foot work and athleticism there. If Biadasz comes back on a 1 year, Id consider having him learn OC and possibly take over in 2025

Richards could be the long term replacement for Steele

Id like to see them look into Kristian Fulton as the #3 CB. Young and won't be expensive. Had alot of success his first two years (probably a Pro Bowl snub year 2) playing both boundry and slot. Oddly he has struggled the last two years playing boundry only. I think Bland is a boundry CB that can play slot. Fulton might be the opposite.

LB Id rather sign a vet than count on a rookie. A guy like Jewell would be perfect. Overshown will help, but I dont want to rely on him to fix the position. Maybe finding more of a niche role for Clarke may help

One problem I have had with the boys OL drafting is wanting position flex all the time. That is great for backups but for starters you do NOT want a jack of all trades you want a MASTER OF ONE

I'm sure about this.........Gilmore just had surgery ( not they bring him back even if healthy ) and Lewis is a FA. So who's the starter opposite Diggs? I'm targeting CB with likely 24 but def 56.

I'll be open to selecting CB in round 1, but the Team will likely re-sign Stephon Gilmore or Jourdan Lewis during free agency to avoid having too obvious of a need.

Noah Igbinoghene (yes, I spelt it correct) might come back on a minimum-type deal, but he's likely to get churned no what what happens come Summer. Hopefully, Eric Scott will be ready to contribute something in year 2 while Nahshon Wright still hasn't earned a role on defense and will likely not make the cut again.

Israel Mukuamu is a S/CB tweener that that hasn't been able to get on the field much to date.

Whiffing on Kelvin Joseph and Wright has really hurt this position.

 

[Cowboyny]

I think that they have a good shot of drafting a center and possibly a linebacker and a running back. I would sign a free agent d tackle and veteran running back.

Sounds good and realistic

We need to see how Steele performs year 2 post injury.

Like the idea of a veteran backer and corner.

Mazi was drafted to play 1T, I have no idea why he lost so much weight
