Our team has been infused with a ton of talent this offseason. How would you rank your excitement level with them? And I'm including Sean Lee. For me, I would go:

1. Greg Hardy
2. Randy Gregory
3. Sean Lee
4. La'el Collins
5. Byron Jones

Not a knock on Jones... I'm genuinely excited about all of them.

Gregory, Hardy I have seen before, Lee I have seen before, Collins will probably be an OG, but Gregory will be something new and exciting and he will be playing week 1 (the other 4 who knows)

I'm with you. I had a really hard time choosing between Hardy and Gregory. But because I know Hardy is great and because he's mean and nasty, I went with him. But Gregory is super exciting as well.

Hardy would be my #1 too except that he might not play most of the season. If he misses 8-10 games I do not think he will be much of a factor this season at all. If he only misses 2-6 he could be a factor. But thats a big if.

For me:

1. Sean Lee
2. Demarco Lawrence (he is still new. he only played 8 games)
3. La'el Collins - only because I am curious if he can earn a starting role and if he can perform in one.
4. Randy Gregory/Byron Jones

Definitely Randy Gregory Hardy. I can't choose between them, so I went with their hybrid.

Yeah if Hardy misses more than 4 games, then it'll be a buzzkill.

I almost added Lawrence to the list as well since he missed most of last year and seems new.

Oh and feel free to add Darren McFadden to your lists. He didn't make my top 5, though I'm glad we picked him up.

I'm not going to pick and you can't make me:p


I'm genuinely excited to see all of them. I don't think I've ever seen an influx of talent like we have seen this offseason. Usually its a bunch of vets coming in on big contracts, but this is a completely unique situation that we probably never see again. I wouldn't know how to pick one of these players

Gregory and Hardy. It's a lot easier to get excited by sack artists than the guys blocking them. But really Collins is a big deal. With his addition I really believe the Cowboys may have just created the best OL unit in the history of the NFL. That IS something to be excited about.

Hardy

And instead of lee I'm going tho Mo Claiborne on my list. I just can't give up on the kid, I think he has a heck of a year this season.

I hope you're right. What a huge bonus and difference maker that would be.

I am actually exited as to what Rolando McClain can do in his 2nd year back. A year of off season and his 2nd year in the system. Truly back into football shape, physically and mentally. And surrounded by more talent too, as well as other players in their 2nd year in the system as well.

And as you also added McFadden, he is on my offensive side to see.

As to new players on your OP list. Maybe Jones, as not just being a rookie, but also what he can do as a rookie with a pass rush helping the secondary, though most of those guys are rookies or in 1st as Hardy is. But with 2nd year guys also to help.

Wow hopefully this talent can work together and guys don't try and become superstars. All up to the coaches now.

I'd have to say La'el Collins. This kid has every right to come in with a chip on his shoulder and I can't help but wonder what our OL would be capable of after getting him in there.

Great question...I can say I am genuinely excited to see the defense play at this point. the FO dropped resources there...I actually want to see how the dline positively impacts the LBs and DBs...must get everyone on the field healthy...but NOW we can be happy in a game regardless of which
h unit is out there
