What if?

So, what if our pick is approaching, and a guy like Tarell Basham is there, but you also have a few DB's available as well (like Josh Jones, Moreau)....I would have Basham listed ahead of those guys in my mind, but does he now drop out of consideration since we dined on a Taco in round 1?

Even if Charlton turns out to be everything we hope he is, it doesn't "solve" the line. We need all the help we can get in the front 7. Right now, we have a lot of "meh" and a couple of guys who've shown potential. If our pick in the 2nd round comes up, and there's a guy who, in the scouts' evaluation, is head and shoulders above other available players, I'd take him, regardless of position.

I can only speak in general philosophical terms, because in all honesty, I don't know these players and I'd be talking out of my backside if I tried to say player X is preferable to player Y. But I will say I think front 7 positions are more important and harder to fill with good talent. The secondary is dependent on them. Good talent in the front 7 can make solid talent in the secondary seem a lot better, but the reverse is not true. So I'm hoping that the best player(s) available at 60 are something other than CBs.

I think they go DL again in the 4th with Moss or kid from Illinois (Smoot?)

Think they're set on taking a CB, but I reallllly like Basham. I think he could play RE too.

Wouldn't mind it and then addressing CB with Shaquill Griffin later on.

Lawson for me is the guy I would have a hard time passing on. I think he is the 2nd best pure rusher in the draft, and we do like to gamble in the 2nd.

I think u take the DL and start getting on the phones to see about a trade up honestly. Taco, Basham, X DB and Jaylon all coming onto the field for the first time drastically changes the defense.

Wouldn't even care if that's the whole draft for Dallas. And I don't even like Taco that much...

The goal is probably the best player (or very near it) with hopes its a CB given this deep class.
If Basham is way better than whats still on the board, they may take him anyway unless they trade.

Give me Rivers....

Funny I was thinking the same thing.....I could see them doubling down @ DE....But then it occured to me... then you are pretty much writing off Gregory. I'm not sure they are ready to cut the cord just yet.

Think they go CB...but I'm starting to wonder if finding a starting SS might be a harder find....and you can still get a quality zone CB in the 3rd.

Just my take...;)

I hope we draft a TE in the second, and a tight end in the third, and a punter in the fourth
