Needs heading into free agency and draft

[Ekspozed]

What LB is worth a 1st round draft pick at the position they are picking at? If they trade down because Jeanty is gone then I could see them grabbing Jihad Campbell at the 18-25 range. Beyond that this is not a great LB draft for blue chip players.

Free agency is the best bet for getting a LB who will be an immediate impact player.

Bingo there is no lb worth the 12th pick. This isn't a very good draft for lb

The entire defense needs attention and that includes bringing three of them back ( Kendrick’s Lawson Lewis ) .

Heavy emphasis on defense in this draft along with RB to pair with Dowdle and perhaps if a receiver is on the board who can compliment Lamb and actually contribute grab one .

Walker or Campbell mid round first. If they decide the want to take Jeanty than they could draft knight in the second but he is more of a late 2nd. If Dallas doesn't land Bolton they are in serious trouble at LB.
I fully expect Jerry to do something dumb like take a WR.

Yea, I think they need to look at free agency for linebacker help.

As I see it these are the positional needs.

RB - They need two. I would like to see Dowdle re-signed and another brought in.
TE - I could see taking one but the one thing Dak does well is make TE's look good. Ferguson and Schoon should be fine.
WR - They need a legit no 2. This is likely going to have to be a high draft pick or an expensive F.A.
QB - Should try to find someone to develop.
OT - They can make do with what they have but If they drafted a LT high, Moved Guyton to the right side and cut Steele I would consider that an upgrade.
OG - They could get by with what they have but I think I would move Beebee to RG and Hoffman to C.
C - I don't see this as a need at all. Hoffman to start if injury happens move Beebee back and put Bass at RG.

DE - major need and will require a high draft pick or expensive F.A.
DT - They need two. a 1 tech and a 3. Both are hard to find for this team. Expensive F.A. or early draft pick for the 3 tech and 1 tech they need to find a diamond in the rough.
LB - Oh Lord it looks bad currently. They need two. One needs to be a day one starter. Probably need to re-sign Kendricks and either hit on another in the draft or sign a F.A. Hope that Overshown is able to come back at some point.
CB - Much bigger need than I ever thought we could be looking at. It sounds like we are going to try to trade Diggs and hopefully re-sign Bland. They need to re-sign J-Lew as well and then Draft another early.
S - Dono and Hooker are getting up there but Thomas and Bell might be ready for extended roles. As much as I would like to see one of the many good safeties in this draft on the Cowboys there are just too many other needs.

IF I were GM this is the route I would go.

Get Micah signed long term and do the cap magic that creates more room for this year.
Give an Extension to Bland

Sign Landry at DE.
Sign Allen at DT
Re-sign Dowdle, J-Lewis, Kendricks, And See if D-law will sign a cheaper short term deal. 1 or two years.
Stick with Diggs one more year and see if he can get back to form.

Draft.
1. WR - Tet or Burden
2. DT - Alfred Collins
3. LB - Carter, Paul, Schwesinger, Stuttsman etc.

I would then Package a couple of 5th rd picks to move into the 4th

4. RB - Gordon etc.

With the remaining picks I would try to find those diamonds in the rough. Developmental QB, Maybe a corner, a safety etc.

This only requires a couple of outside free agent signings and would give me some hope.

Maybe we could trade next years 4th round pick for a GM.

Greenlaw, Barnes, Sherwood would be my targets

Not familiar with Barnes and Sherwood but greenlaw unless there are injury concerns is Bolton territory isn’t he?

 

[deerhunter11]

Is that all?

No problem for Jerry. Right?

I feel the same pain.

 

[deerhunter11]

They’ve proven over and over and over again that they can’t draft DT’s. So I would like to see DT addressed in FA. Allen is probably a pipe dream with this FO though.

I would sign Allen and draft Kenneth Grant in a trade down and fix the D line while picking up more draft capital.
