Prioritize This List

[Leadbelly]

Pretty much my order too. QB is obviously all-important. Nothing to add about RB, LB, and TE.

Safety: Jones can fill one spot. Church and Wilcox are not starting quality.

I was a Church defender but how does a S have zero passes defensed 11 games into the season? Zero forced fumbles. Zero fumbles recovered. Zero interceptions. It's all-time awful. I like Wilcox's attitude and violence, but not really an asset in pass defense. Heath isn't good at anything.

WR: TW is OK, but nothing special. I see teams with solid 1-2 punches like JAX, AZ, Jets, and....Raiders(!) and am jealous.

I think part of the problem is the team bisects the WR roster. We essentially have an Outside WR squad (Dez, TW, Street, and Butler) and an Inside WR squad (Cole and Lucky). The outside guys don't operate well from inside. The inside guys can't play well outside. Any little injury and suddenly we're bare bones. I'd like at least one versatile guy who can operate from any WR spot like Cobb or Stefon Diggs.

Street is not useful.

And let's be real...Jerry's going to sign Josh Gordon next year. He can't help himself, right?

CB: Either Carr or Mo is going to be gone. I'd rather keep Mo as he has a higher ceiling. You've seen the best of Carr already pass by(don't Terrance Newman me Carr!).

And I would like CBs that can get off a block and deliver a hit. The only times our CBs stick to WRs like glue is when the WRs are blocking them. Their backpedal is incredible then.

DT: Why the hell is Hayden still here?

Amen. When the draft rolls around with a big talented DT there for the taking, and Marinelli goes, "nah, DTs for my scheme can be found later," somebody in the war room needs to send Rod to Shake Shack. We're three years into his scheme. If it's so easy to find them later, where are they? Ultimately, I think David Irving is playing at 3tech next year with T Crawford at 1, but more is needed. Hayden is a 4th or 5th DT on a team with Super Bowl goals.

Special Teamer: Never thought I would say I miss D. Harris. We laughed at the Gnats, they got their moneys worth. No one on our roster has been able to replace him.

I think Lucky is the guy once the coaches feel comfortable. Once we're officially out of contention, there's no reason not to be comfortable. Cole is horrible. Not enough returns in today's NFL to warrant higher priority.

You can add it to the list... but it's going to be an unfulfilled request.

Not because I'm a big Garrett fan, I just don't think Jerry will fire him.

And realistically if this team didn't lead the league in negative turnover differential (by a wide margin) it would have at least a couple more wins.

True, a few more field goals here and there.............

Thats all I got left, this season has taken all the wind out of my sails

That is okay. Most normal people are out of silly rhetoric about now.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

1. QB
2. DB (best CB or S available)
3. LB
4. RB
5. WR (Street gots to GOOOO)
6. 1/DT
7. S/T

UDFA: RB, DT, DB, S/T

I thought we were Superb Owl contenders going into this season, but got killed by injuries, suspensions, bad coaching, bad front office, and foolishness on and off the field. This team isn't a complete wash though, and has talent. Going into the off season I see our biggest needs as:

QB: Romo doesn't have long left in the NFL. Cassell is a solid back up, but not a future starter.
Safety: Jones can fill one spot. Church and Wilcox are not starting quality.
RT: Get Free off this team. No idea what Green can do.
WR: TW is OK, but nothing special. I see teams with solid 1-2 punches like JAX, AZ, Jets, and....Raiders(!) and am jealous.
CB: Either Carr or Mo is going to be gone. I'd rather keep Mo as he has a higher ceiling. You've seen the best of Carr already pass by(don't Terrance Newman me Carr!).
DT: Why the hell is Hayden still here?
RB: McFadden, Turbin, and Dunbar actually aren't a bad trio. But none are Murray 2014. Dunbar is solid, but the other two need to be pushed for competition.
LB: I'm not as concerned here except for depth.
TE: Witten is in the same boat as Romo. Is Escobar the future we want?
Special Teamer: Never thought I would say I miss D. Harris. We laughed at the Gnats, they got their moneys worth. No one on our roster has been able to replace him.

If Romo is returning, I pick the best defensive lineman if we're drafting high. Then, I'm looking at QB or RB at the top of the second.

I do believe we can't go wrong taking a stud WR to pair with Dez, though, but it's more of a luxury.

The reason a DL is my top choice is because this season has shown we still need work there and you don't get shots at those top-of-the-order linemen too often. I know the same holds true for QB, so I won't be upset if there's one worth taking there and we go for it.

My priority listing:

Via the draft: WR, RB, CB

Via free agency: QB, S

(in order of priorty)

 

[waving monkey]

There is no bigger need on the roster than QB. Any and all lists should begin with that. Even if they fail to obtain one this offseason, that's the biggest need. Or else we are headed quickly into the have nots group in this QB driven league. We don't want to be there.

Honestly, that need is so big I don't want anything else even close to that in this post.

Go Cowboys!


A RB and WR are key needs. Dez is a major league moron. We need one even if he's on his best behavior but we have to bolster that group so we can be productive with or without him. Darren McFadden's our starter. A Cleveland cast off is his backup. People miss Lance Dunbar. We need a RB. Or two.

I'd say we need to move on from Jason Witten but I'll save you the trouble and just go bleep myself.

RT would finish off the OL. Is Chaz Green that guy? He's got Jerry stank on him. He should have been the RB drafted. Instead we reached on Green. If I was a betting man, I'd bet against. After opening up a window. Once you get Jerry on the curtains that smell never comes out.

We may or may not need a DE but you always should look to collect edge rushers. I can't imagine going into any offseason like "eh, we're good" if you have the opportunity to get a guy you feel can harass QBs at this level. We certainly need a DT or two. That group is below average but I am thankful we avoided a league wide bidding war on Tyrone Crawford. That's a start. Must get a couple of players there to really have a salty front seven.

LB is weird. There are pieces that could work but there are so many question marks with those pieces. McClain is just a bad dude. Trust him at your own risk. He's not the kind of guy I'd want in my locker room. Especially in times of adversity like now. Lee, bless his heart, will be the next featured on ESPN's "My Wish" series. As the Cowboys let him break the huddle and participate in a walkthrough before his body eventually shuts down and fails from whatever condition God decided to give him. Is Wilson ready to start next year? Because Anthony Hitchens sucks. He's a roster filler and a horrific draft pick. If the Cowboys decide they've had enough of McClain I'd say LB is a pretty big need.

Phase 1: Collect Cornerbacks
Phase 2: ____________
Phase 3: Profit

I caught Winicki stealing my cornerbacks in the middle of the night last night.

Our safety play is still atrocious. It's quite disappointing as I had hopes for Wilcox. My neighbors probably think I worship Satan screaming "#$@$ CHURCH!" every Sunday. We definitely need a player there even if the Cowboys decide to keep Jones at S.

Needs everywhere (shout out to Will McClay) but I suppose I'd rank it....

1. QB
2. RB
3. WR
4. DT
5. RT
6. S
7. LB
8-15. CB

But here's where I and not enough others diverge from the group. What does that list mean? It means if free agency and the draft fell perfectly that's what I'd do. It's a wish list. It doesn't mean that's what I'd definitely end up doing. If the value isn't there, it isn't there. I desperately want a QB of the future. If my scouting department tells me that guy isn't there then he isn't there. Need be damned.

once again your ego is tripping you up
Hitchens is a good pick

QB top pick

I totally agree with your points, however I would like to add one rider.

Whoever in the organisation thought Brad Johnson or Brandon Weeden were viable options at QB, I want them excluded from any input into the selection of our next QB.

I hear you, brother, but we both know that isn't happening.

They hear your complaints though. They know they've made mistakes. Jerry had a come to Jesus meeting years ago before signing Deion Sanders. Etc.

 

[Bowdown27]

Qb
CB
Lb
S
Rb

To me we can get a rb early second if need be or free agency. Look at Rawls and other guys who have stepped up. Qb and CB to me are huge needs. If we had a decent qb backing up tony season could be different. A osweiler esque season.
