Skilled players coming top 3 picks?

[Cowboyny]

With the depth of this draft along the DL and at RB, this would be the yr to fix their run defense and ground game, but is starting to point to them drafting skilled, positional players:

-major buzz that they will be drafting a 1st rd wr
-have brought in all the top running backs
-rumors about Diggs not being ready and a possible June 1st release could mean they are hunting for his replacement

I would spend the whole class on fixing their run defense and run game. Find a stop gap at wr and at cb via fa.

As usual, who comes off the board will determine who we pick first. If Jeanty falls, I think Jerry bites. If Tet is gone, I don't think we take a WR. But I do think we get a RB on day 2.

Releasing Diggs this year does not help the team in any way. He's a 12.5M cap hit if they keep him. Making him a June 1st cut costs the Cowboys almost 18M over two years. The Cowboys don't need the extra 4m in cap space this year. If they wait until next year, Diggs is a 5.8M dead cap. However, cutting him does save Jerry 9m in real money. So if they do cut him, it's not team related.

I agree with you on the draft class. I would do the same. Worry about the rest next year. We're not going to be contenders this year.
