But they've used two 2nd and a 3rd on the same position over the past two years. Using the #4 overall pick at the same spot reeks of failure.

The other challenge with drafting all these 1st round d-linemen as opposed to offensive linemen is that a offensive lineman will play 1,000+ snaps. A defensive lineman will get 60% of those snaps.
And if you end up with high picks used on three defensive ends in successive years, that means other needs are being neglected as a result, not to mention the fact that one of the three will be losing snaps to the others, further limiting your return on investment. There are only so many draft picks and resources to use.
I'm fine with adding to the defensive line, especially at the totally neglected weak spot of 1-technique. But what I am absolutely not fine with is using #4 overall to do it.

They picked a 1-tech Star Lotulelei in the first round of the same draft
I hope he's gone simply for the fact that it might prevent us from signing Manziel. The day Manziel is in a Cowboys uniform, expect another 20 years of mediocrity and circus.
How so? I don't get the correlation.
Because I don't feel that you can justify using the #4 overall pick in top of what they've already invested. The team has enough other needs - including a quarterback of the future - and needs at secondary, linebacker, and running back that need to be filled before they go and sink yet another high round pick into the defensive end position.
If you're using a pick that valuable on defensive end, it's because your other investments have failed.
Agreed. Not when the linebacking corps needs help and the secondary is a "car-wreck".
After a turbulent first year in Dallas, it appears Greg Hardy's days as a Cowboy are coming to an end.
Will the Cowboys part ways with the talented yet troubled defensive end?
Watch Bleacher Report NFL Insider Jason Cole discuss Hardy in thevideo above.
