Would agree that defense is the first need although I see it as DT/NT guys first then safety/cornerback. I do not think Dallas will go away from the first pick as the BPA available although since we will be drafting either 10th or 11th and if a team like the Bears comes up to get a QB, then I could see us trading back to say 17/18 spot and based on the current ranking from various sites, that will be probably be an OL guy. Will say though if Kyle Pitts falls to the 11th spot or to 17th, wouldn't surprise me to see Dallas take him as much as fans would be upset.
As to current defense, Gregory has already extended for 2 years, Smith is rumored to already have an incentive laden deal for 4 years ready to sign, Cowboys will probably have negotiations start Monday on Dak. Would hope most of the draft is defense and wouldn't mind seeing names like Daviyon Nixon DT, Iowa or Trevon Moehrig S, TCU in the mix in the first round and even second if they fall. Jevon Holland S, Oregon would be a nice pick up in the second also. Still a lot of time before the draft and there will be risers and fallers over the next 3+ months.
I don't believe we will cut bait with Jaylon Smith and we could see Lee back for a vet minimum deal. What we do in the off season as to pick ups will be key on the defense. Rumor is McCoy is coming back at DT on a similar deal as last year. Might not be an active free agent class but if Dallas could pick up Justin Simmons S Denver, it sure would help the team defense. Leonard Williams DT NYG would also be on my wish list if possible. Just doesn't seem like the year any team makes a big splash.
