The starting running back should be the rookie that they draft.Next:
TJ Bass ready to compete for stating OG spot.
Mazi Smith ready to compete with no one for starting DT spot.
Sam Williams ready to compete with Fehoko for starting DE spot.
Overshown ready to come in and take over as a starting LB after missing his entire rookie season.
Dowdle and Deuce ready to compete for starting RB position.
No. Solidify with one player a top 40 pickDraft Miami's C Matt Lee late in the 5th. Make a small offer to Connor Williams if he is cleared by Cowboys doctor. Let all 3 fight for the starting Center position.
I don't them passing on him UNLESS one of the top OT (flex) drops in our lapI really think Barton is going to be a serious target. Very good prospect certainly worthy of pick 24.
We saw how much of a difference TFred madeIt would be crazy to pass on him if he's still there.
I think Bass can be a pretty good starting guard though, he showed a lot of promise for sure. TBH, if they decided to go Tyler/bass/hoff/martin/steele, I would t be TOOOOO upset cuz of what we have seen from tyler at T as a rook, and the time bass and hoff played. Steele hast to pick it up from last year. We just have so many holes now and not a lot of picks to fill them with STARTERS since we are boneheads in free agency.Something else I think is getting overlooked a bit......Tyler is an ALL-Pro LG. Expecting the same level of performance as LT after one full season is a reach. So moving him from LG to LT creates ANOTHER question mark. I'm not saying he can't play if at a high level but can he be as good as LG, unlikely. In other words, moving him from LG to LT would create THREE OLine question marks ( LT, LG and C ) as opposed to leaving him at LG locks down that position. Besides staying at LG gives him a chance to help your young LT AND C.
Remember the Eagles had the same issue a few years ago with Lane Johnson who was drafted to replace Jason Peters at LT. He started at RT and immediately played at near ALL-Pro level. So when Peters suffered a season injury, Johnson considered switching to the left side but decided to try Jordan Mailata at the position before creating another question mark by moving him. The rest is history...
This^^^^Dallas should draft a OT and C, so Tyler can stay at LG. Also, Hoffman, at worst, provides decent IOL depth along with Bass.
Yup.Please stop spreading this stuff. Please go watch Hoffman play. He was terrible
Yup.Hoffman deserved to be cut after the last preseason, and he was. Any team could have claimed him. Instead, he ended up back on our practice squad and wasn't put on the roster until he had no call-ups left. Players can improve and he did decently in relief work, but if we're mainly basing this on his play in a Washington game where they sat a lot of their starters, that's foolish.
Center should be on the top of our draft list ... and the top ones also are able to play other positions, which give us options considering we have two young guys trying to step up and fill holes.
I'm fine with moving on from Biadasz, but only if we have a plan other than just handing the job to Hoffman.Yup.
We are truly desperate for talent at C now.
Maybe we hit on a draft pick?
Of course for 25-30 million, we could have locked in Biadasz.
Would be really funny if Hoff was always better than Tyler but just having to wait for his turn.Jerry says if he tries really really hard he'll be an all pro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you but my crystal ball is saying that Frazier can be within our grasp with the 2nd pick, just saying.If we miss on Powers-Johnson and Barton, I'd be perfectly content with trading back slightly and taking Frazier. After that, it gets more iffy to me. I know some have the mind-set that the centers who are third- through fifth-round values will be just fine, but that's not how the draft works. The lower you take a player, the more flaws there are in his game and the more likely you are to miss on the pick. Some get overly focused on the hits, when the hit rate is not that high.
I just don't want to take a chance of missing on one of the top three (Powers-Johnson, Barton and Frazier) because I feel like there's a fairly steep drop-off from there. I wouldn't even have a problem taking Frazier with our first-round pick if we believe we can't afford to trade down to get him (if JPJ and Barton are off the table).I agree with you but my crystal ball is saying that Frazier can be within our grasp with the 2nd pick, just saying.
BrainPaint made me this avatar because I predicted T-New catching the pass the day before he caught it.
My crystal is ringing right now like it did then...
