First Round Pick
Pick One *BPA mentality
CB Marcus Peters
TE Maxx Williams
CB Kevin Johnson
DT Jordan Phillips
DT Eddie Goldman
LB Shaq Thompson


Pick within the categories. Trade down isn't an option. Other players aren't options.

 

[Stash]

Option B for me.

Sign Hardy

Draft Gurley (not Gordon!)

If I can walk away with the best available pass rusher and the draft's best running back in the same offseason, I'd be thrilled.

Anything else is gravy.

But I wouldn't be inclined to sign any of those DT options. I will take Paea if it means honoring the rules.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Option B for me.
Hardy
Paea
Gurley

Do not hate that.

 

[ferrispata]

I'll take Option C. If you give me 3 minor FA pickups (Ingram rb, Orakpo, Spencer) and then BPA at 27 of a DE, CB, OL. And then a DT in Round 2 and a OL round 3.

 

[tm1119]

Option B and going with a 2nd round RB.

 

[mickswag]

Option B.
Hardy
Paea
Gurley

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Option B
Hardy
Paea though I'd rather look toward the draft for a 3 tech like Bennett, Cooper, or Jarrett.
Gurley

 

[KingintheNorth]

I'll take Option C. If you give me 3 minor FA pickups (Ingram rb, Orakpo, Spencer) and then BPA at 27 of a DE, CB, OL. And then a DT in Round 2 and a OL round 3.

You get 2 and Unfortunately, Ingram wasn't an option. While he will be cheaper than Murray, I still think he'll be a major signing by someone.

He will be significantly cheaper than Murray.

Do not believe in Kobayashi Maru "only this, not that" simulations.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Why not wish for a million dollars and Kate Upton while you are at it.

Did you forget Adrian Peterson in your Vikings trade?

 

[BAT]

Why not wish for a million dollars and Kate Upton while you are at it.

Did you forget Adrian Peterson in your Vikings trade?

Are you saying Harrison Smith is untradeable OR worth MORE than a first? Or you thinking it is impossible to sign Suh, Murray or both? By the by, I don't have to wish for a million dollars. Kate Upton on the other hand ...

 

[AsthmaField]

Option B:

DE Hardy
DT Alualu
RB Gurley

Get ready to kick some ***.

 

[BermyStar]

Option B all day. I'll take Hardy, Paea and Gurley. Was leaning toward a 2nd round back, but if we get Hardy and Paea in FA I like the luxury of taking a special talent at RB in the 1st to run behind this amazing line.

 

[Fredd]

with options forced here, Option B is best with Hardy and Gurley (not thrilled with any of the DT's, but perhaps Paea can be awoken by Marinelli)

 

[Leadbelly]

I would go B -- Hardy, Tevin Coleman** in 2nd, Dan Williams for 1tech and some NT on short yardage.

Though I think Williams will get in the neighborhood of $5 million per year, so not sure how minor that is. Williams is one of the better DTs vs run in the NFL. Paella and AlooAloo are not good.

**I'd also be fine with Duke Johnson or David Johnson in RD2 instead.

B with Gurley and Aluala.

I think he has a little more flexibility on the DL then Paea

 

[sureletsrace]

Hardy, Paea, Gordon.

Of the three options, Option B gives the Cowboys the best player upfront, but I wouldn't sign him myself due to the off the field concerns. I would actually go with option C, followed by a RB in Round 2 or 3 (Tevin Coleman or David Johnson).
