Cowboys pick 28th in the NFL Draft

[MrB]

I gave all defensive picks so they probably draft a WR or TE to sell more tickets and gear.

They actually are going to need a TE at some point soon. I'd prefer one in the 3rd but I would
Not be surprised at all if they went TE with one of their first two picks.

 

[MrB]

Get the fuck rid of DLaw. Piece of shit and his brittle back.

And he can take Tyrone Crawford's ass with him.

 

[MrB]

I understand that the schedules are already set. Atlanta and Green Bay are the games we get from having a 1st place schedule. It just happens to include Seattle (our turn to play the NFC West), Denver, KC, and Oakland. As of now, those appear to very good teams. If Arizona bounces back, you can count that as another tough game.

Next year's schedule appears to be brutal. Regardless, if we don't improve the defense, we will suffer a similar result. Defense and coaching are much bigger issues in the post-season and we all know the coaching won't change.

I could see Arizona and Denver continue to decline. Especially if Denver doesn't upgrade their QB.

 

[MrB]

Jerry is going to demand offense in the first round like usual. Our pathetic lack of a pass rush doesn't mean anything to him, never has and never will

At this point it's really what Stephen wants not Jerry.

So we went through all that to get the shitty 28th pick in the draft?

Welcome to two decades of Cowboy fandom. BTW if I told you in 1996 you would win two play off games over the next two decades, you would have said?

Denver will continue to decline, I agree.

And Arizona is a QB away from being anything - and QB's are hard to come by.

Our toughest games no doubt will be Atlanta, Green Bay, Kansas City, Oakland, plus all the tricky divisional games.

It'll be interesting to see what the Redskins do with Kirk Cousins.

I don't know exactly what picks we actually have.

No 5th and an extra 7th (swapped with Buffalo in the Matt Cassell trade IIRC).

BTW I can 100% see them drafting OJ Howard if he is there at 28. More likely scenario though is Butt at 60, gotta have some drama built into that second rounder. With Witten dropping strong hints about retiring soon TE will be a priority.

Been a fan since '85. Except for the early 90's it's been almost non-stop disappointment. Sadly, I'm starting to accept that this is how it's always going to be.

Keep telling yourself that, it's what Jerry wants Cowboys fans to think...

Too bad it's bullshit

Johnny Manziel not being a franchise killing high draft pick here kinda indicates otherwise.

Stephen Jones says this offseason the goal is to invest resources whether it be salary cap or draft picks to improve the defense.

So...a bunch of corners. Got it.

We should get OJ at tightend. Focus on DEnd in Second. Grab DBs the rest of the way. I think we can find a bargain in free agency for a WR or undrafted Free Agent. Im also up for us to draft a defensive back in the second and simply sign a guy at DEnd.

I really think we should try to cut Crawford. His injury issues and ineffectiveness are not worth 10 mil a year. How much is his cap hit if we cut him.

Honestly I'm all for signing no Claiborne and putting him as a nickel back.

 

[jeremysmith214]

I'm starting to question what Byron Jones true role should be. I think Anthony Brown may eventually eclipse Jones. Jones is more of a Brandon Carr type player that doesn't push for Interceptions. I always thought his athletic ability would allow him to make better adjustments for interceptions.

Brown seems to have unbelievable speed to break toward the ball and seems to go more so for Interceptions.

What do you guys think about LB Zach Cunningham from Vanderbilt? Dude is a tackling machine. If he's there at 28 I think he'd be a great pick. Also if Jaylon Smith is healthy and can play next year they would have an outstanding LB core with depth.

 

[jeremysmith214]

I would like to go defense in second but I'm not certain you pass up on OJ in the first round. This guy will bring unbelievable strength to our offense

 

[MrB]

He's definitely a stud TE and they do need a replacement for Witten. I'm not sure OJ will be there at 28 though. Hell both OJ and Zach Cunningham could be gone by 28.

When your CB's are currently Brandon Carr, Morris Clairborne and Scandrick, yes we need "a bunch of CB's".
