I learned that the FO want to get younger and are trying to dump bigger contracts.
We want to get younger and rely on the draft to keep competition at positions where guys otherwise would get complacent, (see Flo and Hamlin for instance).
If you look at our most important players during our rise back to competitiveness these past 5 years. Romo, Barber (initially), Witten, Gurode, James, Ratliff, Austin, etc. Relatively low round picks that have contributed without huge contracts. Look at the guys Jerry have paiddd for - Bledsoe, Rivera, Henry, Hamlin, Biscuit, Mr. Coachable, etc.
I learned we are going to bundle picks in this draft and have a very young, deep roster going into camp next year.
April is the month championships are won, lets hope we have another month like 2008. That year we hit on Felix, Choice, Jenkins, Bennett, etc. Addressed two big needs CB and RB quite effectively.
If we can address line depth and the safety position I really think we'll be fine, especially considering we've got some young athletic LBs that haven't even seen the field.
This draft can put us over the top, and Jerry and co believe it too.
Oh, and I really feel that if Roy wasn't owed 13 milly next year he would've been cut too.
Bottom line. If you don't produce on this team, you're gone. Draft well, don't overspend, and trust your system and franchise. Players don't win titles, systems do, good players become great in well-run systems. I really think these moves today, and the moves done last year this time suggest that the Jones' are finally starting to get it.
Thats what I learned toady, what about you?
