Which position have we improved the most this offseason?

DE
CB
LB
OL

or other?

RB.

We got rid of that third-rounder DeMarco Murray who hadn't done nothin' before last year and replaced him with the 5th overall pick ... from 2008.

It appears to be DE, but those are unknown. I think it has to be LB. Lee is back, Ro here another year, and Hitch another year. Plus we got veteran backups. Looks very strong as of today.

I would say DE, you know Ro waited till may to have knee scoped and he will be rehabbing so no TC and maybe no PS for him.
So I have to wonder about him being ready to go. He isnt even in dallas right now.
I thought he might be in better shape this year, but now I wonder.

im going to say coaching and shuffing of the scouting department as really helped this team. better talent coming in, making use of what we have. Dare i say Garrett laying down a good foundation. And im goign to say Jerry wheeling and dealing better for us, Give it up for the Collins signing and taking a chance on Gregory.

Right now OL coach kinda scares me but others on here had better info than i and feel Pollack will be ok or better. Its not a stretch but im leaning to good with it.

for the team, DE. LB we have one of the best coming back so that will off set a lot, but DE wow, has that been non existent for a long time. Heres to sacks!!!!!!

The only glaring issue I see is the DT spot in our front seven. Everything else has improved except there, and other than Crawford, we have no blue chippers that will take on double teams and close holes for rbs. The last thing we need is non stop blockers getting through the middle and having to rely on Lee and McClain's health to keep them in check. The less those two face lineman and fullbacks the better

What's it going to be then, eh?

OL, mainly because we did not lose anyone of significance and made a huge cheap acquisition in Collins.

I would go with the DE group, but there are still some uncertain issues, like Hardy's suspension, Lawrence's development and the ability of Gregory to buck the normal growing pains for a rookie. It does have enormous potential though.

The sales job Jerrah did to get Collins inked has to be the biggest move in recent memory.

That was a huge move and made this year's draft class potentially a game changer for our Franchise for years to come.

This draft ranks right up there with the Jimmy Johnson Hershel Walker trade that netted so many draft picks to jump start our Franchise return to relevence.

Considering he won Executive Of The Year last year to say that is the position we have improved the most is really saying something.

La'el Collins is enough to net him my vote for even more improvement since receiving that award. That was a straight up Oceans 11 heist.

Defensive End.

I believe Hardy's suspension will get reduced to 4-games. Lawrence is going to be better if he stays healthy and provided Gregory stays healthy, I think he's an underrated prospect. He was a legit top-5 talent and one of the best pass rushing prospects in college over the past 5 years. The guy can really play and has the ideal size and athleticism, but more importantly already has good technique.

That beats out last year when we had Mincey, no Lawrence for most of the season and Anthony Spencer was still recovering from his knee injury.

DE no doubt.
Not a position but very important. I say coaching, everyone was signed for multiple years, or the top 3 anyway. Only ? being can Pollack take over for Callahan. I am sure the team was preparing for his departure and Pollack learned well under Callahan.

Just re-watched the playoff game versus Detroit...how it the world did the Cowboys defense keep the game within reach? The LBers were a hot mess, I was left shaking my head. The d-line was bad, Patmon at times looked like the best CB...

The entire defensive unit is improved, even just returning injured players will help so much.

The "one" position? Linebackers...I think.

We've conveniently forgot how lucky we were to win that game ;)
