I don't know. Maybe if we beat the Deadskins as crazy as that is and the Giants and Eagles both lose. we'll be one game out next week.

As much as I hate the idea of losing and think its a bad idea. This is a different thing.
If we beat the Skins we should keep playing to win with the veterans. If we lose
we should keep playing to win with some rooks.

Yeah maybe its convoluted logic I'm using, but here goes. Since 2012, there hasn't been a consensus #1 pick. I don't consider Clowney anything but a freak, a lot of teams were afraid of exactly how he's turned out. The last 3 teams have looked at trading down from #1 but haven't been able to, so went with who they thought was their guy, and it hasn't worked out for any of them except maybe Winston. Yet last year I don't think (could be wrong) anyone was in a panic, because since there were 2 QB's there was a possibility to trade up and grab the second when the first was off the board. Much more optionality at #2 -5 to trade OR get value for your pick.

The #1 pick this year will most likely be a QB, and its looking like a 2 horse race. So no one will want to give up a kings ransom unless one of these guys turns into Andrew Luck by the draft (I'm betting they won't).

I'm basing all of this on the fact that we won't take a QB in the first (to sit on the bench for 3 years of a 4 year deal isn't much value) so we would have to pick the best player otherwise to help the aging Romo right now. I'm not saying #1 is a BAD place to be, I just think we get more value and optionality from a non-QB at a slightly lower pick.

So partly it is what you have to pay for a # 1 pick right>??
If we draft a # 1 qb and pay him top dollar to sit on bench, that maybe isnt too smart.

My fear is they resign Hardy and then pass on Bosa because of adding Gregory and Dlaw recently. We have a tendency to think we are fine in spots only to find out we aren't after its too late!

Brother I can't argue with any of that...

You can never have enough pass rushers. Period.

A rotation of Bosa, Gregory, and D-Law would make Hardy expendable, too.

No, you're acting liking the team would. It sounds good on paper. Just like it did this offseason. But then Dlaw still hasn't developed, and Gregory has been injured. 20 sacks later and you got nada. We still need pass rushers.

Think if you could still keep Hardy on the cheap though?

Bosa and Hardy on the strong side. Gregory and Lawrence on the weak side. Grab a NT and pin the ears back.

How does that sound good on paper? Hardy, a generational player is expendable, and that too when you can pair him with Bosa, whose getting a rookie deal?

Sounds like the Cowboys FO.. Irving, Hardy and Bosa...

What if Moore comes in and magically wins all his games and looks great? No, this isn't Floaty here, but it could happen. Then we will all be pissed he wasn't playing the whole season!

At least we wouldn't have to draft Tony's replacement.

seriously

what else you got ?

Got nothing else for YOU. You just tried to justify Doug Free by comparing him to Tyron Smith. You lose on that alone and nothing else is needed.

I want that kid in Dallas badly! He looks to be one of those once in a generational type of players :D

I get it and no doubt he's great - but is he greater than Jadaveon Clowney was supposed to be in his senior year while playing in a better conference than Bosa?

Right now I consider Clowney a huge bust - he can't stay healthy and he hasn't been the game changer they thought he would be when he's on the field.

Obviously if Bosa is there we take him but when I hear once in a generation type player I think Archie Griffen and Tony Mandarcih and Brian Bosworth, Jermarcus Russell, Vernon Ghoulston, etc.

Right now with where we are I'd take an impact player who simply stays on the field.

He has never been injured and the stats speak for themselves. He also comes from a football family and is a hard worker and a student of the game, much like Lee.

Stats kinda got jumbled, but he is a monster and will go #1 overall. Clowney didn't have a great last season but Bosa is the real deal.
