1) DT-Osa is a fa and undersized. Mazi hasn't produced much in 1.5 seasons. We could make an argument that team needs multiple DT's.
2) WR-Cooks isn't expected to be resigned. Tolbert, Brooks, Flounoy, Mingo have yet to prove to be anything more than a 4/5 type of receiver.
3) RB-Dowdle is a career backup #3 type of RB, Zeke/Cooks might be both washed. Like DT, you can add 2 to this positional group.
1. The Cowboys have needed multiple DT's for years.
2. Tolbert is fine. Brooks/Flournoy/Mongo haven't had any chance to prove anything yet.
3. Dowdle is fine. Luepke is too. Just need a RB1 added. Another late pick/decent FA added also.

We are well aware that the team has needs across the board, if you had to prioritize the top 3 needs, what would they be?

My top priority is to not win anymore games this year which would put us in the top 3 and maybe in the 1 spot. Hopefully, in the 1 spot where we can trade down and still get a top 5 talent plus a king's ransom. If we had the 1, they could trade down and maybe set them up to have 2 first rounders next year and some solid picks this year. Say the Raiders come in at 5 and want to trade up for a qb.

DT, - Need Solid 3 Down Lineman
DE, - Need Solid Edge Rusher

DE, - Need LE with Pash rush moves.
OG, - Need Depth when Martian leaves.

In the first two rounds, OT and WR

In the middle rounds, DT and RB.

OT to me is by far the #1 need. Even if Guyton turns out good, we need an OT. And we don’t know if Guyton will be good.

In general, when the Cowboys have been good, they’ve had a strong offensive line. The current group needs a lot of help.
not to mention he supposedly did not want to play and coaches had to talk him in to playing.

I don’t think there is a true no 2 receiver on this roster. Teams have game plan to take out Lamb/Ferguson

Defensive line, running back, and wide receiver. Not gonna lie I am including defensive end with defensive line so I am giving you four. Right now I see at least 5 studs that I would be dancing in the streets if Dallas drafted them with our first pick. Spoiler, two of those players are on Michigan. Along with McMillian, WR Arizona, Abdul Carter, defensive end Penn State, and Travis Hunter Colorado. I am falling in love with this draft early in the process. This draft might be underrated.
Edge, DT DL as a whole

Yes, we have needs across the board, but we won’t fill them all in 1 draft

There isn’t…we’ve had the most laughable group of weapons in the NFC over the last few years of playoff teams (obviously not this year).

He is strictly a run and chase weak side backer. Marist is the one hard to figure; is he also a weak side backer, can he even play some safety?
I think you let DeMo play the Will and give Marist a shot at Mike.

Despite the trade of Mingo, still believe this is a major need. Top teams usually have two alpha receivers
The draft is going to be a two year rebuild project. We need to take the bpa. Please no reaches…….

DT but I don’t trust our FO with drafting this position, they seem to do a poor job scouting DTs.

Pass rushing DE.

MLB
RB
S
OT

Hell we need help everywhere

I agree and would add DE

What do you think about Carter?
I just moved to Philly suburbs a few months ago and my sister in law is a Penn State Alum, watch them every week. He is a poor man's Parsons. Undersized, former off the ball linebacker. Still raw, but you can see the athleticism. Probably not as explosive as Parsons, but not that far off, either. Both fit better as OLB's in a 3-4 Front then 4-3 DE's.

Im really having a hard to time figuring out how much I like him. Although I haven't been able to watch a ton of tape yet. I do think I like the idea of moving down and landing Scourton better of they target DE
