Yes, and I'm thrilled that the perfect storm is happening to move us up the draft board. Potentially giving us our best drafting position in decades. It’s awesome. I hope you enjoy your Dak marathon.
Decades? We picked 4th not even 10 years ago.

I'm going to watch "Little Giants" before the game, that way I won't have to be exposed to the embarrassment of the real thing. I think the Cowboys lost in the movie. Lol

You may not believe it, but the carry over should help them get to 100 million in cap space and they should use it in 2025.
What evidence do you have that supports that they will use it, especially in free agency?

I mean, it's a nice wish, but the Joneses changed their philosophy concerning free agents after 2012, when they overspent on Brandon Carr (based on the return of investment). They've had opportunities to spend in FA since then and have chosen to go cheap each time. We have nothing to go on that that will change except hopes.

The Cowboys' pattern is that if they have money, they will spend it on their own, rely on the draft and fill holes with cheap FAs (either washed-up players or ones who flashed a little potential).

Since you've lost all your hope for this season that you thought was going to be great despite the lack of FA signings, I guess you want to put your hope in something else. I'm a proof guy, though, and there's just no proof that they'll do anything to fix the holes. In fact, I won't be surprised if they blame this season completely on injuries and double down on doing nothing. (Doing nothing means leaning on the draft, re-signing their own players, maybe making a couple of low-cost trades and not spending more than a few million on any outside FA ... I'd put the cap at $3.5 million for a one-year deal since they gave Kendricks $3 million this year.)

Battle of the 3rd string qbs and the sun in the fight for the top 3 pick. Nothing like watching 3rd string qbs throwing to players that can't see.

3rd stringers ?

I thought Dak opted for surgery ?

I can only hope old Jerry comes to his senses and make sure Trey starts that game to make it an even QB3 vs QB3 pick fest.

I know everybody's going into these games wanting to tank and lose we're gonna organically lose a lot of our games but I am not pulling to lose against any of our NFC East rivals I want them to blast the giants the Commanders yes that's what I still call them I would absolutely love them to win three more games against our rivals I know I know it's about draft picks I'm sorry I'm not built like that I do not want us losing to those fools especially on Thanksgiving... I mean it goes to show you though last week everybody thought the loss was gonna help us it did not even move the needle we're an exact draft spot we were going in so I would've rather had won the game even though the Texans aren't a true rival look you see them talking trash I mean we're missing like 11 players playing our backups they have a miserable coaching staff and Dalton Schultz is toasting to himself with beers like they just beat somebody people talk about our fan base and our players they truly are flexing on beating th.... this is why i don't wanna lose games.

So again I would love to go in this three-game stretch and beat the Commanders and the giants I'm sorry but it is what it is you will never tell me we should lose on purpose or be happy about losing organically if we lose we can look at the bright side it helps with our draft status but not mentality going into a game you wouldn't want players doing this I don't want our fan base doing this either plus you're trusting Jerry in this front office and will mclay which they have done a pretty good job drafting on getting the right people in this draft anyway it might be better to draft lower because they have less of a chance to botch it....
