Sorry I am not worried about Dak. He will be fine no matter if he plays for us or goes and plays for 8 other teams.
There will be teams lined up to sign him I guarantee it.
My focus is how do the Cowboys get better? What to do about the LT position?
DT?, CB? Safety?, Guard
Signing Dak will not solve any of that.
There is no value in going 6-10 or 7-9. This team as it is currently built WILL not be any different than the past 25 years.
We need to get lucky in the draft.
This is a likely playoff team given the schedule of remaining games.
It may be an ugly backed in 8-8 playoff team but a playoff team nonetheless.
The NFL isn't the NBA, it isn't going 3-13 that makes you great. It's proper mgmt of resources and the off-seasons.
The Chiefs went 10-6 then drafted Pattrick Mahomes.
The same year WAYYYY worse teams selected Mitch Trubisky, Solomon Thomas, Leonard Fournette and John friggin Ross over Pat.
What to do about the LT position? Likely nothing. Tyron is going to have a year to get healthy and they'll run it back with Tyron and Knight as his back up.
DT? --DAL has drafted DT early the past 2 seasons. They'll consider another selection I'm sure but they need growth from within here as THill and Gallimore both need to be able to play given where they were drafted.
CB? Tougher call here as we don't know how they feel about Chido. But ABrown and T Diggs are coming back. Likely need 1 CB here from FA/ early Draft
Safety? You'd seriously think a draft choice is used here early top pair with XWoods but they've held off this long.
Guard Gotta see what they have in McGovern over rest of the season. Mid to late pick at OG would make a lot of sense.
I'd actually feel pretty good about a draft that brought DT, CB. S. OG in the first 4 rounds(DAL has 5 picks).
Value is ripe for OG/S in 2-4 rounds and LB/DL/CB/DT are common recent Dallas targets in the top 60 picks.
