Well at this point you could easily say the Cowboys need to

[Longboysfan]

Draft -
1 - LB who is Sean Lee's replacement.
2 - LT - to get upgrade on the current back up.
3 - CB for depth.

 

[Direwolf63]

In addition.....

TE - Witten on his last legs. Does Rico Gathers even exist?
Safety - Need significant help here
WR - Need a deep threat. Butler has been OK, but is a free agent.
RB - Morris and McFaddon are gone after this year. I've seen nothing from Smith to tell me he is a RB2.

Lots of needs.

Keep going, looks to me like they need three. This scheme requires LBs that can run and cover, they dont have any.

BPA.

 

[Longboysfan]

BPA.

BPA only will cover so much.
best to look at greatest need and then BPA.
Maybe with a small trade down.

The main goal should be to get the best possible player, especially with the 1st round pick. I probably wouldn't pick a QB or RB in the 1st but just about any other position should be in play.

If two or more players have similar grades, I would lean towards position value more than need. An OT, DE or CB is a more valuable position than a 4-3 LB if you had to sign one in free agency.

Replace CB for 1-Tech, add SS, and yep, BPA in any order...

 

[waving monkey]

BPA.

We're built where BPA is the supreme option

This is a serious list?

So they need to replace Sean Lee and get better backups at LT and CB? This fixes things?

Recipe for failure.

OP not having safety listed before the swing tackle made me chuckle

From my perspective. Yes.
They need a Sean Lee type LB that can see the play develop and be there there.
Get through traffic.

A replacement for Smith at OT. Too many games missed and too many average replacements in his place.

A good one vs one cover cover corner as Anthony Brown has regressed from last year.

Good target positions.

 

[rkell87]

Round 1. DT, FS, DE, WR
Round 2. LB, DB, DT
Round 3. OT, DT, DB
Round 4. OT, QB, LB

What I want right now

1. Calvin Ridley. He'll be entering his prime as Bryant exits his, allowing us to move on seemlessly. In the meantime teams will have to load the box for zeke and single dez and Ridley.

2. Malik Jefferson. Ideally I'd want Lee on the inside( for so many reasons) and Jefferson and Smith on the outside but all three guys would do well at all three positions.

3. Joshua Jackson. This drafts jourdan Lewis potentially.

4. Martez Ivey. Basically Chaz Green 2.0 maybe this version ends up halfway serviceable.

They must sign a couple of of mid-tier free agents.

Yes, I know they suck at doing that, but we're projecting what they should do.

You draft a LT high, move Smith to RT, and put Collins at LG where he should have stayed. Once again you'd have the best OL in the NFL.

Yep, take the best LT in the NFL and put him at RT

Makes total sense

 

[stilltheguru88]

Bpa mixed with need. It’s crazy how so many people are still lost on this concept.

 

[blindzebra]

His injuries have limited him and with his back he is not the best LT. His play has dropped.

This year the BPA and Need will probably coincide with each other.
This team can use good players in so many areas.

There might be a few positions you don't take in the first round but beyond that I don't see any off limits (kickers and punters don't count).
You "might" not take the BPA Olinemen in the first or RB in the first.

However from the second on I don't see the need to pass up on BPAs for this team.
I understand if you have 2-3 BPAs availiable to you with about the same grades but at different positions...you decide which one you want.

With this team we can use help in so many areas that as long as the players are good at the position it should help the team.

I could see Offense being drafted as well. I think you could get a WR who could earn a spot on the team and possibly starting spot on the team in the early rounds.
You could get a RB who gets playing time.
You could get an OT who might earn a starting spot or depth and future starter with our top OT having back injury history.
Whether you like Dak or not you could get another young QB
I know many will groan but if you happen to find a TE that you think can replace Witten you could take him.

So many spots on Defense.
You can always improve the 1 tech. You can't have enough good Pass rushers at End or 3 Tech.
LBs are always a need and with his injury history and age you have to worry about Lee...You still don't know what you will
have with J.Smith as you still don't know if he will ever be 100%.

Still have question marks in the secondary at CB and S.

I just hope this is a good quality draft. I have seen a couple of draft sites say this years draft class is not the best but I don't know how true that is.
