He's right. They are.
Lolololol
He's right. They are.
The rest of the secondary will be rebuilt but one draft pick can completely change the landscape. Dallas looks to have a draft pick around the 5th to 10th spot, look at the players taken there in the last four years:
Pick 9 CJ Henderson, #6 Jamal Adams, #11 Marshon Lattimore, #5 Jalen Ramsey and #11 Minkah Fitzpatrick.
So tomorrow night when you are on your 7th beer watching the Dallas OL give up its 14th sack, fear not. For next year the team will be more talented than this year but with an offseason to learn the defense.
Next year the offense gets back three Pro Bowl level players, plus Jarwin, plus Martin is back this week. The best group of WRs in the NFL returns (Lamb will be even better) and the other two OL Williams and Biadasz will each be 24 years old but solid starters by that point. The major concern is obviously the OTs returning but nothing about Collins seems to show a long term problem and plenty of elite OTs have missed seasons like Tyron Smith – with Jason Peters (currently starting at age 38) a good example.
On defense the young DL will develop (Gallimore, Hill, Gregory, Anae), Aldon Smith likely returns and the DL will finally develop some continuity in the new scheme. Diggs will be playing at a #1 CB level next year after taking his lumps this year (while showing above average athletic skills).

There are a ton of older veteran Safeties who could be signed to fill a spot in the secondary for a cap hit of 4 – 7 Million:

The second round pick gets you a player who can join the secondary rotation at a minimum and probably start (Diggs, Awuzie, etc).
Another free agent (like Cam Fleming) and the third round pick gets you solid depth at OT. Recent 3rd round picks at OT range from decent backups to above average starters:
Pick 74 Geron Christian, #83 Orlando Brown, # Shon Coleman.
But most of the year to year improvement comes from both lines developing cohesion in a new system and the young players developing with more reps (like Schultz and Hill did this year).
Trolls, rev your engines.
But don’t say we will blow the draft picks after we got Lamb and Diggs this year with much later picks.
And don’t say we don’t have the cap space, even at a 175 Million cap and franchise tagging Prescott we still have 15 Million left over before any restructuring moves (Aldon Smith and conceivably Sean Lee are the only players in UFA we would want to resign).
We're just a draft pick away!
Gonna put the taters in balloons or just free style it?I'm making a pot of mashed potatoes to start a good optimism!
This is the type of braindead logic only a WeHo community college can bring.
Identifying highly drafted players from previous drafts means exactly what with regard to this upcoming draft?
"Oh heeey guuyz, Jalen Ramsey was drafted #5 overall in 2016, so that means we'll get a stud in 2020!!!"
LOL!"Baht dahduh, dayfansihve playuhs dunhnt sail nah jersahs."
"I call this meeting of the Fresno Trailer Park Association to order. Top Ten draft picks never do nothing!!"
Dallas has drafted better than the rest of their Division by a wide margin, but Internet service in Fresno is spotty so Cal Poly never got the news.
Full on spider monkey.Gonna put the taters in balloons or just free style it?
While you're left making up fantasies about me living in Fresno, we know for a fact that back in the world of reality, just a week ago, you thought San Luis Obispo was near Fresno.
#WeHo!
This guy thinks Gregory, Hill, Gallimore and Anae are going to help turn this defense around..
The front office also thinks the same thing..it's why this is the worst defense in the history of the nfl

It’s definitely not a good time to be a homer, JoJo Rabbit.
Did I mention Morris Claiborne, drafted #6 overall, had a Wonderlic of 4? Maybe I should have added WE (The Cowboys) drafted him!
And every year since then our first round pick became a Pro Bowl player. CD Lamb hasn't yet but he might be the best pick of that group.
Got any posts about Larry Bethea or Robert Shaw?
