So a more talented Jarwin.
So a more talented Jarwin. And maybe blocks as well as Jarwin. With all the vertical weapons who is going to catch the underneath stuff. The offense is stacked, you could convince me to take OL but a TE at #10 when there are so many other pressing needs.
I agree with you. But I really don't like any defender at #10. I'm for trading back for a defender and picking up an extra 2nd. Dallas needs the picks. But if Dallas is going to stay at 10, offense is probably going to be the better choice. I'm only going by the players I see.
This is no different than last year when we took Lamb. We didn’t necessarily need Lamb but he was the BPA by a mile. Our O is better for it now. Do whatever you have to do to go BPA early on offense or defense. If that happens to be Pitts fine. If we can protect and not turn the ball over we can be unstoppable.
JHC we’ll get D when we can ...... they’re not going to take a guy rated as a 6/10 for D when you’ve got a TE rated as a 10/10 at the spot sitting there when you pick. The pick has to make sense and we need immediate starters on both O and D. I’m not gonna trot Schultz out when I can line up our freaking TE against your #2 and in most cases #1 CB. He’s a nightmare mismatch for any DB.We need D!

Thought pretty much the entire 1st round was for luxury for every team unless they had an obvious hole to fill due to injury or retirement. Round 1 should be all about obtaining the best player you can get regardless of need. Round 2 is when you start going for need because it’s a bigger crapshoot each round thereafter. You just hope you hit most of them right.Anything outside of the top 10 you draft for need.
Good stuff.
And we absolutely will not win until we change our draft strategy and build the D. A TE does not make us better. No matter how good he is.Pitts might be the most talented pass receiving TE that I’ve ever seen coming out in the draft. It isn’t just him being 6’6” and running like a speed WR... it is his hands (he rarely misses anything), his knack for and understanding of routes, and his football instincts where he does things that good RB’s do when they carry the ball.
He’s a natural receiver. He’s a natural runner with the ball. He understands angles and leverage. He has tremendous, natural hand use. And he is ridiculously physically talented. His tape tells you that he is a great football player. His pro day will just confirm why none of those defenders had a chance against him.
He’ll be special year one and a good offensive coordinator will win some games because of him. There will be no defender that can equal his impact for Dallas at 10. Only a great DE or DT could to that and there are none in this draft.
Yeah, if Pitts is there at 10, Dallas should take him. I’m afraid he won’t be though. About the best we can hope for is that he ends up in the AFC.
The defense needs to be much better. That can come in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th rounds if you wish. That can also come in veteran Free Agency.And we absolutely will not win until we change our draft strategy and build the D. A TE does not make us better. No matter how good he is.
If he's that well regarded, we should easily be able to garner some extra draft picks trading his rights off.
For you needy folk.
On face value, a TE at 10 seems ridiculous but while the Cowboys have a lot of skill position talent on offense and have an emerged Dalton Schultz as a legit starter they do not have this kind of dynamic presence at the position. (First one to say Blake Jarwin gets Butcher head noogies.)
That's not to say he's my target. I want to use that pick for a QB. Probably in a trade up. But this is why you acquire talent in the draft and why you must consider Pitts because he gives you something special.
I think it’s very possible that Pitts and Chase will be top 5 players on our board. I guess Parsons or Farley could be viewed as elite because I think their workouts are going to be impressive. I’m a big Surtain fan but athletically I don’t believe he’s elite. Only OL I would consider at 10 is Sewell. If there is a top 5 player on the board I think Jerry is going to take him.I get the bpa stuff, i really do, BUT.......you dont freakin take Pitts if hes 9th on your board and a OT and defender are 10th and 11th. If a defender is like 15th or 20th sure but if it was close and you take Pitts you're a dumb team and its a dumb decision.

I think the Jones boys are pretty predictable. Always looking to run to the press conference declare they got a player that was higher on their boards. I think Chase could be rated the 2nd player on our draft board. I don’t think they pass on the player.So you would take chase if he was a top 5 talent and other guys were top 10 talents?
Jerry drafts specifically to make a splash. That's why he builds mediocre teams.I think the Jones boys are pretty predictable.
