Very strong WR class

Its obvious the defensive line is in greater need, but at the same a first round bust wont help much and very few guarentee wasting a first round pick then reaching for a defensive end.

I see Orchard right being the last of the first round DE, and I think he is a top 20 pick when all is said and done. After that are guys like Calhoun, Dupree and Golden who are mid second round talents. We draft those guys, we get 100 snaps out of them just like the Eagles did with Smith .

I think the Cowboys are going to have 2 choices for the most part. Be agressive in targeting a DE like Nate Orchard which may mean moving up a few spots or going by therr board, which has a very good chance of being a WR IMO

I don't know. I mean, Frederick was a reach and a stupid pick, and then we saw him play; Suddenly the pick wasn't so bad. Claiborne was a stud, and way to go Dallas for moving up. Then he sucked and it turned out Dallas really needed that 2nd round pick. I just see that Romo window as so small, and if they can couple a good O-line with a good defense, we might just get to see this thing work out. Man I don't want to see his entire career in Dallas wasted, especially realizing how difficult it will likely be to replace him, despite what his doubters think.

The thing with Frederick is those slight reaches on the interior often work out. Defensive end however those reaches usually end in failure. In general the late first is a very tough place to pick DEs

Honestly if you are looking to win with Romo your upgrading through FA way more then the draft. We dont have the draft assets to expect immediate returns.

If your looking at giving Romo a better shot at a title, your looking at Denvers offseason last year

There are some good free agent WR options this offseason...I'd rather take my chance on that.

6 WR's with first round grades. Is TW the answer? If a stud WR is the BPA, do we take one? I would entertain the idea. Yes I know we need defense. But I wouldn't reach for a defensive player that doesn't have a first round grade.

Amari Cooper 6'1 210
Kevin White 6'3 210
Devante Parker 6'3 211
Dorial Green Beckham 6'6 225
Devin Funchess 6'5 235
Jaelen Strong 6'3 212

There will be some really good ones in the second round too. Sammie Coates and Duke Williams from auburn. As well as Rashad Greene from FSU. Very deep class. I would take one in the second round if one of these guys is there.

With 8 of them, some probably end up in the 2nd round.

If WR is by far the BPA in the 2nd round, I would be fine with that. I don't see taking one in the 1st.

Hopefully, they Cowboys add a quality free agent DE and don't have to force the issue in the draft.
