This is what I would like to see and am sure many fans will agree, disagree, agree to disagree and for absolute sure Jerry won't care a bit but here goes.
2018 Cowboys off-season
1. Fire Scott Linehan and bring in some fresh ideas especially a coach that can work with Dak's strengths.
2. Fire Wade Wilson for we need a guy that can work with young QBs in today's NFL
3. If Marinelli retires and not sure he will, promote Eberflus or hire Brent Venables away from Clemson.
4. Dez Bryant should either take a pay cut or be released, he is no longer a #1 target and is hurting the progression of Dak in the coaching staff forcing him to throw to him.
5. Jason Witten should take a pay cut although him retiring isn't out of the question and if he does retire, hire him as the TE coach.
6. Restructure the contracts of Tyron Smith and Travis Frederick.
7. Sign Demarcus Lawrence, David Irving, and Anthony Hitchens to 5 year deals.
8. Sign Jonathan Cooper and L.P. Ladouceur to 3 year deals.
9. Sign Zach Martin to a 7 year deal.
10. Resign Joe Looney and Keith Smith to one year deals with an option for a second year.
11. Trade Orlando Scandrick to Seattle for Earl Thomas, it helps both teams and could extend Thomas to help on the cap.
12. Although we will not do much in free agency, I do believe we could sign Allen Robinson II WR Jacksonville and Greg Robinson OT Detroit to make or break contracts. Dallas does have a good history of taking bust OL guys and getting something out of them. Robinson needs a change of teams coming off an ACL.
13. Say goodbye to Brice Butler, Chaz Green, Byron Bell, and a few others.
Draft
1st round - Marcus Davenport DE UTSA, yes a small school guy and maybe we don't need a DE but in the 1st round you take the best player available regardless. He reminds me of a Demarcus Ware/Lawrence Taylor type of guy and a great DL sure would make up for a lot of ills.
1st round - in a trade with Buffalo for pick 25 (guessing) for 2019 1st round choice, Dallas selects Calvin Ridley WR Alabama. Dallas gets WR with speed that can stretch the field and get separation. He along with Allen Robinson and Noah Brown will bring about a far better receiving corp along with Beasley and Switzer.
2nd round - Roquan Smith LB Georgia, he can play inside or outside, has very similar instincts like Lee in that he knows the play and where to go before anyone else. Only 6'1" but very fast and sure tackler who you would love to have playing with Lee, Smith and Hitchens and would make the best LB corp we have ever had.
3rd round - Dallas Goedert TE SDSU, great pass catcher, great route runner, very good blocker, good speed, hard worker and great overall player, could be a Witten off the bat.
4th round - Godwin Igwebulke S Northwestern, underrated safety prospect that should remind many of Landon Collins, has a great skill set and learning from Earl Thomas would be a good thing.
4th round comp - Mitch Hyatt OT Clemson, may never be a every down starter but as a swing OT and occasional starter you have a great player, with the right attitude, hard worker and leader, might not be Smith but close to be as good as Collings
4th round comp - Bo Scarbough RB Alabama, strong runner, faster than most think, punishes the defense and good blocker and pass catcher. He along with Zeke and R. Smith would give us one helluva RB corp.
5th round - traded away last year
5th round comp - Larry Allen III OG Harvard, many will disagree but this kid is a player and with a couple of years of seasoning will be our LG for many years. He would be a steal in the 5th round.
6th round - Dalton Schultz TE Stanford, sure 2 TEs, and why not, Dalton is as steady as any and really believe the overall skills he and Goedert have are far better than any of our current TE with the exception of Witten, and better overall skills than any of the TEs in the draft (yes Andrews is faster and a better pass catcher but poor route runner and blocker)
7th round - ????
