With the latest win, there are 7 teams with fewer than 5 wins, and there are 5 other teams with exactly 5 wins, so Dallas would pick somewhere between 8 and 13 depending on tie-breakers.

It should be a pretty offense heavy top 10 picks. They’ll still be plenty of defensive help available in the next 10 picks.

The only unfortunate part about this is that there’s one blue chip, game changing defensive player in the draft, basically - Micah Parsons. Other than that it’s a lot of “pretty good” prospects.

I’m worried he’ll be gone before our pick.
 
CB or LB, would be my guess. Who is the LB from Penn State?

and some are not sold that he is worth drafting quite that high in the top 5-6 overall. Don't think he's a generation LB.
His name may keep coming up because there's no true blue chippers at the top of the 1st rd 5 to10 overall this year.

Currently 8 based on strength of schedule according to what I read. A lot can change of course.

The win over San Francisco dropped them from #4 to #8 in round one. The point value of the difference is equivalent to a mid-second round pick.

The drop in position in the second round is 40 points according to the draft value chart, equal to a high fifth round pick.

So that win over San Fran cost Dallas a mid-second round pick and a high fifth round pick.
Hope everyone enjoyed it!
 
Draft order tiebreaker is inverse strength of schedule. Cowboys have one of the easiest and will likely win tiebreakers with anyone except Washington and possibly the Chargers. The latter is nip and tuck.

Realistically, the Cowboys will probably pick anywhere from 6-14 unless they win the division. They possibly could win 2 and pick as late as 16, but that would require a couple of upsets, including the Jets beating the Patriots.

Glancing at the schedules, I would guess they pick at 6 if they lose both remaining games, somewhere around 10-12 if they win 1 and 14 if they win both. But upsets happen, especially late in the year.

that's why I wanted Cowboys to have the top 4 overall,..and be in a position to trade down just a few spots to acquire additional high round picks from a team so desperate for a franchise QB
assuming there isn't any player the Cowboys coveted in that 4th overall and group of players.
I wanted the flexibility of the matter.

While disappointing, this is very true.

All your CBs will be drafted higher than they should/would normally go.
Surtain
Horn
Wade
Farley
Williams
No Blazing CBs in this class, all about 4.45 guys,, some decent talent, but would probably be no first round grade in past recent drafts.

LB is no different, although I wouldnt be upset with Kenneth Murray, about the only exception even possibly considered from whats left after Parsons comes off the board.

I know the fan base is craving that disruptor at DT,, sorry not going to find that available or worthy of our 1st round pick,, plenty of possible contributors day 2 and 3 though.

Rousseau is the top defensive end prospect for the 2021 NFL Draft, but doesn't have a 2020 season to support that position,, so you go that direction and your just crossing your fingers.

I know its not the answer fans want to hear, but I would consider all offers to move out of this draft as much as possible.
Evaluation of talent is minimal, just take any decent offers for future prospects.

Parsons has five-star athletic tools, but isn't regarded as a heady, instinctive player yet. Perhaps that will come with time and coaching, but adds big asterisk to picking him.

This top of this draft is really thin for Def.

What part of there's already a thread on this, with an actual link and not just speculation don't you understand?

How many threads do we need on this one topic? I guess because you did it had it's the most recent, it's the "official" one?

Very true, outside of Parsons I don't think there is a sure fire top 10 defensive player. However, there could be good value for trading back and still getting the defensive player you want. If the Cowboys can pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd drafting higher that would help.
