Rumor: Cowboys to pass on Jeanty

So not drafting the best player available again. Smart move. Honestly I've gotten used to not caring as much anymore, didn't even watch a full game through this season, first time since 91.
 
IMO if this true, then there's a chance they feel the same about the loaded DT position. They will use 12 to fill an opening starting position with limited depth in the draft ( think WR, Oline, LBer, CB IMO ) This article makes me think OLine or CB. Stephen Jones says he would hope any player drafted in top 12 will be with the team for at least 8-9 years.

Did I miss the draft? How do you know who is available? And the RB position is super deep with really good players. It would be dumb to take one at 12.

You must of missed a lot. He's a top 3 player in this draft behind Hunter and maybe Carter. If he's there at 12 he's 100% the BPA and should be the pic. This team has only had true success with a great running game and never had a great running game with running back by committee or with a 5th rounder running the rock.

This tells me, expect one of those 4 receivers, maybe even consider moving back.

Maybe, but its much much harder to find good DT's later in the draft than it is good backs. Even in a strong year. DT is deep this year but not nearly as deep as HB. This HB class could be historic

Just look at what they just paid Lamb, I really think WR is in play.

I agree but question committing this much resource if you are going to be a run-first team. It's almost having an offense in the mode of Parcell or his dad ........conservative ball control.

Agree but let's not forget, that they are about to pay Osa $25M. They KNOW they can draft the so-called 2nd or 3rd best DT in the draft at 12, yet they are still willing to pay Osa. That tells me they value Osa's traits and experience over any rookie DT they can draft at 12. As mentioned before and this is just my take, signing Osa takes DT off the board at 12. Keep in mind, signing Osa also means you now only need solid tech 1/NT or run plugger who is likely only a 2-down player.
 
Jeanty may go before 12 and of course they could pass on him. They could draft around a dozen different players.
