Not sure if serious. We need defense way more than offense.

1. DB
2. DT
3. LB
4. WR

I'm afraid of drafting a CB with the 1st after the last two (Claiborne and Jenkins), I just don't trust our fo evaluating that position. Byron Jones looked good when playing nickel but got beat when he had to play on the outside, I think he's going to have success at the S position.

M:y ground level on this situation, is two fully functional cornerbacks that are veterans during FA.

First off, who was the Head Coach that drafted Claiborne and Jenkins?

Wade Phillips was head coach when Jenkins was drafted. Jason Garrett was head coach for Claiborne, but Claiborne was legitimately rated based upon a point system used by the NFL in scouting DB's.

Injury played a big part in his slow development, similar to a future Pro Bowl WR who was injured also, during his first three seasons in Dallas.

Jimmy Smith?

CB - Byron Jones was our best secondary player last year. Yes, he most likely is going to be our FS, but that tells you about the need at CB.
DT - 1 Tech, no explanation needed.
LB - Even if McClain is back, we need to get better at the SAM position.
QB - We know, we know....

How I would upgrade them
CB - I would sign Trumaine Johnson or Sean Smith.
DT - The Draft is loaded with 1 techs.
LB - Draft Myles Jack, period. Let McClain walk.
QB - I would not be at all upset to see Wentz or Lynch be drafted at #4 by Dallas. However, I would be just as happy to get Vernon Adams Jr. later in the draft.
