We lost a significant number of snaps in free agency this year, over 1800 of which came from just four players -- Durant (linebacker); Selvie (defensive end); Parnell (tackle); and Carter (linebacker). Now, none of these players is really a standout or pro bowl quality player. They're journeyman types, some better than others, but they see the field often and eat up a large number of snaps collectively.
Getting Lee healthy means we have one of those losses covered. But, we still need to replace a moderately talented tackle, linebacker and defensive end. Where do you find such replacements -- i.e., players that are talented but still likely role players? How about rounds 3 (tackle), 4 (linebacker) and 5 (defensive end).
Its not rocket science. Snaps are lost, so you find some folks to fill them. People can get upset about not taking their pet cat but it's simple math that the Cowboys are doing.
