Gotta trade down 10 or so spots and pick up the extra 2nd rounder to use on the best QB prospect available IMO.. These bas s are probably gonna try to roll with Kellen Moore as the backup and potential successor to Romo, and that's gonna be another mistake

Draft a QB early next year, all in it to win it this coming year.


Trade down 5-8 spots to get the extra 2nd rounder... draft 3 out of 4 of: WR, 1 tech DT, SS and RB in the first 2 rounds. Fill the 4th hole in free agency. There you have it. Maybe go after the 4th hole or a project QB in the 3rd or 4th rounder, or in the 3rd round we can go CB or even BPA. We have a lot of good options.

The worst option, though, is to waste our premium pick on a guy like Goff or Lynch whose ceiling is the next Tannehill or Bradford.

The second worst option is to let Hardy go and spend our premium draft pick on Joey Bosa, which won't allow us to fill enough holes.

The third worst option is to let McClain go and spend our premium draft pick on Myles Jack... this is similar to the second option.

The fourth worst option is to stunt Terrance Mitc 's growth by drafting an overrated DB like Hargreaves or Ramsey with our premium pick.


I'm not even counting drafting OL as an option because that would be downright re ed.


We must re-sign Hardy, McClain, Dunbar and a few other guys and commit to Terrance Mitc . I think he can be a legit #2 CB for a long time... he makes a lot of plays, has a knack for ball-hawking, and is excellent in coverage against #2 and #3 receivers. He's locked with us for cheap for the next 2 years, but I think it might be wise to lock him up with a 6 year/18 million deal, maybe a little less but either way it's a steal considering his talent versus the exorbitant price it will take to retain him once he breaks out next year.


We MUST shore up 1 tech DT (Hayden is a sissy), 2nd WR, strong safety, and 2nd/young running back. These are the priorities, as well as continuing to develop Mitc . I think Jerry has a lot of options this offseason for bringing in a young backup QB for cheap with significant upside in free agency, so I don't think we'll need to draft one this year.

4 compensatory picks, 9 total.

Obviously we need to shore up DT, but 2nd receiver? Terrance is a beast, don't let the fact our QB's cant pass more than 8 yards take away from Terrance's ability

TW catches the ball with his chest which is unfortunate because his speed and ability to get open are pretty good, he just misses catches.

I'm not gonna panic in a year minus Romo with a bunch of ty RB's tbh

McFadden is excellent, I believe the 4th best rusher in the NFL this year despite barely getting any carries until we finally cut Underwear Thief.

McFadden's unforced fumble in the endzone was a bizarre fluke that will never happen again, but I'll take it instead of winning that game and ruining the draft stock. I expect him to have a huge year on a contract year next year... but it'd be nice to get a solid young #2 as well, possibly in the draft.

[leemajors]

McFadden is not excellent. He's not very well suited to the zone blocking scheme. I think he scored 4 tds all year, 2 of those the first game after Randle was dumped? Not good, and he was godawful in short yardage situations.

Dude you are ing nuts

McFadden was serviceable at best, your takes are out there bruh

TD's? LOL... Murray actually had a decent number of TD's but he was one of the worst RB's in the league this season.

He was godawful in short yardage situations because opponents knew 100% that we were going to run because no way in we were going to trust our ty backup QB to convert it in the passing game. Open that option up again with Romo and McFadden sees consistent success on 3rd & 1's and the like next year.

Yeah, Murray played in a terrible system for him. Pretty much everyone had no idea why Kelly signed him to that deal. McFadden is also getting up in years, has a long injury history, and I will be ing pissed if we are content with him this offseason. I think any reasonable fan would be.

Murray is an average RB at best who had a great contract year on a ton of carries and laughed off the loss in Green Bay all the way to the bank.


McFadden is also on a contract year and is looking for his last big payday before he falls out of the league due to old age. I can see him having a 2014 Murray like year next year


, the Patriots' new bell cow for the 2015 playoffs is 32.

That's why I've been lobby to pick up Derrick Henry in the 2nd round... we can probably get 2 early second round picks (ours and the one we traded for) if we trade down to a QB needy team like the Niners. We can get Treadwell and then shore up RB and one of DT/SS.

Biggest needs:


1. Quarterback. Even if it's not in the first round, which I don't think it will be, this team HAS to get a young QB to start developing. Romo is crazy injury prone these days and is clearly breaking down and not reliable anymore, and Kellen Moore is certainly not the answer. I fully expect Jerry to acquire Johnny Manziel aka Billy Vegas if/when he's released by the Browns or via a trade for a late draft pick (which I completely disagree with, but whatever. Jerry's an idiot face it comes to being a GM).

2. 1-Tech Defensive Tackle. Been a huge need for this team for a couple seasons now. No more bull tting, we need a difference maker at the position.

3. DE - Only if Hardy is not re-signed, which it's looking like he will not be. Our depth takes a huge hit if/when he leaves. An injury to D-Law or Gregory would leave us riddled at the position.

4. Strong Safety - Need a starting-caliber SS badly. Church and Wilcox are borderline horrendous in coverage and idk if I can take another season of watching them give up easy TD's over and over. Wilcox is a 3rd string SS at best.

5. Cornerback - Good chance Carr is released and Claiborne is a free agent, although I've read he wants to stay in Dallas and we want him back so a good chance he is retained. We need a young CB badly to replace Carr.

6. Running Back - This probably belongs higher on the list, but I don't think the Cowboys will take a RB until the 3rd or 4th round. Not Jerry's style anymore. Plus the 2017 RB class is going to be stacked so I think they take a solid RB this year to eventually replace McFadden and then a franchise back next year.

7. Linebacker - This all hinges on whether or not we bring back McClain. If we do, it's not a pressing need. If we don't, it becomes one, especially with Sean Lee's durability issues.

[BatManu20]

We could also really use some speed at the #2 WR position who can stretch the field and take the top off of a defense, as we don't have anyone on the roster who can do that. But I think we wait another year to use a high pick on a WR unless one really highly rated on our board at our pick in the 2nd round, which I doubt.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Quarterback isn't #1, at least not in the draft. Either RG3 or Billy Vegas, prefer the former but would take either for cheap. Need to draft to win now, though. Trade down to #7, take Treadwell, get the extra 2nd... get a very good DT, RB and SS before anything else. DE isn't as important provided we keep Hardy.

Yea I didn't mean we need a QB in the 1st-Round of the draft, but we definitely need a young QB/backup next year. It's past due. And I doubt San Fran would trade a 2nd to move up 3 spots. Maybe if Goff is on the board still but doubtful.

[slick'81]

Just take goff and end this .i dont want to touch manziel or rg3

If Lynch is on the board.

If they don't want him, we can trade down to pick 12 or 13, both those teams need a QB.

Worst decision we can make. The team has a chance to win now and you want to draft the next Matt Flynn or Sam Bradford?

He ain't coming back.. They said all the "right" things regarding Hardy this season, but they were clearly just desperate for some sacks.. I'm sure everyone there is ready to see that re move on

And get even less sacks next year?

Romo only has 2-3 good years left.
