We aren't signing any high price d lineman.

Crawford
Irving
Tapper
Thornton
Collins
Lawrence
Mayowa

That leaves 2-3 spots open. One of the spots if not two needs to be filled with def tackles leaving one end position available which should be filled with a rookie not an old vet.

Calais Campbell is a 3-4 player
JPP is slowly breaking down too much money
Addison one year wonder?
Chandler jones franchise tag
Everyone else is average
Ingram is the only guy worth a big payday but it seems fans just want to pay anybody with a name just because of the first half vs Green Bay. When Rod brought the corners up and brought pressure we were fine. Coaching is the main issue. We need 3 new dlineman and they all need to be rookies imo.

Addison had 6, 6.5 and 9.5 sacks his last three years. He's not a one year wonder. He's not going to be Von Miller out there for you but he's likely going to be your best pass rusher when the team opens camp in August if you sign him.

I don't see a point, I see a contradiction. Other free agents would want to come here because they think the Cowboys can win (and they obviously can), but Ware somehow wouldn't, based on things that happened over three years ago? That makes no sense.



I think they'll definitely draft one, but maybe not at #28, if the value isn't there. And that's why part of me thinks that they will have made some level of a move to help to ensure that they're not stuck taking a guy who's not actually worth taking at 28.

Past history has shown that they make moves prior to the draft so that they're not stuck taking any one position but maintain a measure of draft flexibility to take the best player available.
I'm not talking about winning in the regular season...maybe this is where our disconnect is.

I just don't think you're making a very good point in what you're attempting with that specific line of thinking. That's all.
