Self explanatory. I don’t think I would upset at us taking any regular position in the draft (excluding kicker, punter, long snapper) in the first round.

Do any of you feel differently?
 
Also punter. Martin and Anger were the most reliable players last year.

Another Olineman.

Tired of it.

Get a much better Oline Coach who knows how to make this group of Olinemen perform much better.

I agree with this, but I think they have no choice. Dak can't win without an all-pro line, and Kellen doesn't believe in a run game. Jerry will put all his energy into making Dak look as good as possible. He'll expect Quinn to work another miracle with the usual cast minus Gregory and plus a couple bargain bin players.
 
I’d be upset if they drafted TE, WR, or S in the first round - something I could see them actually doing.

We need OL and DL, followed by LB and S.

If I were the Cowboys, I would use that 24th overall (1st round) pick on either big Arkansas DT/NT John Ridgeway (6'5", 320 lbs, 5.01 40 yd time)...or if he's gone...get multi-positional super talented Penn State LB Brandon Smith (6'3", 240 lbs, 4.40 40 time).

John Ridgeway III


Brandon Smith

Good find on Ridgeway. I think he will be the first defensive tackle taken in the draft. I have been following the draft show and they are pumping up the Georgia linebacker and Loyd. I follow Penn State and Smith is just a step below Parsons.

We haven't drafted an O-Line player in the 1st round since 2014

We don't need another 1st round pick wasted on an Olineman. La'el Collins and Tyron Smith will be back starting at the Tackle positions for 2022. Zack Martin is in his prime and has that Right Guard position taken care of. Tyler Biadasz was taken in the 4th round. Matt Farniok was taken in the 7th round, but he should be given the opportunity to start over Biadasz, so the Center position should be improved. The only starting position to worry about a little is the Left Guard position. Connor Williams will be gone via free agency. Connor McGovern is ready to get plugged in at Left Guard. We even have international monster sized LG in Isaac Alarcón who plays LG. Plus, another Left Guard could be taken in the mid-rounds (3-5).

Like I said, Cowboys don't need to use a 1st round pick on an Olineman.

A first round S would be great. I've had lots of seasons where I would have loved that. A credible single high FS can transform a defense.

Yeah. Not another high round WR. We've spent too much draft capital on WR as it is.

LB is only needed in later rounds. I'd be upset if we spent a top pick on lb unless it's a Parsons clone. And such a guy won't be there when we pick.

We need to temper expectations. We've got a late pick. He's not going to transform either side of the ball.

I don't know?

Georgia DT/NT Jordan Davis (6'6", 330 lbs, 5.2 40 time) and Oklahoma DT/NT Perrion Winfrey (6'3", 310 lbs, 5.0 40 time) are rated just above John Ridgeway III. Hopefully, Ridgeway will still be there when the Cowboys pick at 24th in the 1st round.

Smith is 31 and can't be relyed on to stay healthy. Martin is the same age.

If someone like Green, Linderbaum or Raimann falls to us we should take them

If it's not an O-Linemen we should pick a front 7 defense player this 1st round
