Our starting OL is the least of my worries.
Feel better now?Cowboysfan8 said:
I would be shocked if the pokes didn't pull the trigger on a WR in the first three rounds. Not a lot of elite talent in this group, but reasonable depth. Thinking the cowboys go defense in rounds 1 and 2; WR in round 3.
Huh? Hurns is a really nice signing, especially when you consider we need to upgrade our WR corps & at a reasonable salary to boot.
i have to look at the details, but he is hardly someone to get that excited about or rely on. if i remember correctly he had a good year in '15, and every year since then has been filled with injuries. I'll give you he is an upgrade over T. Williams, but might have been better off not letting go of Brice Butler. You guys would know better then i would, and yeah they don't spend a ton of money on a long-term contract, but i am not sure he is really any boost to the offense.
I think you're underestimating Hurns. He's a LOT better than WIlliams & is a nice #2 WR. Given his contract, Hurns is an outstanding addition to our WR corps.
6M per year is a good deal for Hurns. He might not be spectacular, but he'll be solid.modogg said:
I don't think anyone over her is thumping their chest and claiming he is s stud. What he is - is a good route runner, he is a hand catcher (My biggest knock on TWILL body caught everything) and can line up in the slot, X or Y. At a max of 6 million (With bonuses) how can this not be a good signing? Dak is structured, he needs to know where his guy is going to be. I think this is part of why he and Dez don't gel on the field. Romo and Dez were both great at improvising and playing school yard ball.
Agree on Williams. What’s odd is he’s either been one of our most clutch or one of the biggest boneheads the past couple of seasons. Like you, I’m tired of the body catches though.
While,I agree with your assessment that Collins might be a better Guard. BUT...
I’m listening GB!
I meant in the Cowboys front office. Although, yes our thread is a ghost town. Most of the SP have scared off most of the Cowboys fans.
Still too much...based on age and the contract he would need. Maybe a 3rd.
To use 4 first round picks (essentially 5 with Collins - who would have been too) on the O-line is crazy. No team has this luxury. It's gotta be defense. I am not certain I am sold on Ridley at 19 either.
Yeah, I think it has to be D or possibly WR. Anything else simply doesn't make sense, IMO.
disagree. i would give the Cowboys credit if they made this move earlier and got some value for Dez, or anything. to just cut him is certainly not a particularly savvy move. if they knew they were going to cut him, they could have given Dez a solid and cut him earlier to give him more options, maybe having a team that signed a WR free agent and the Cowboys have another option. Going into the season with Hurns and Williams as the top options means Dak is going to get hit a lot. Not sure how much Witten has in the tank, and if you use Beasley you are removing another pass protector, and certainly most teams would have their top CB cover Beasley.
Now teams are gonna use their 1 cb on Beasley, last week you didn't believe teams were game planning to stop Beasley.
well you guys were the one's who told me Beasley operated as the #1 for parts of the season to the point of getting doubled, which to be honest i had no idea about. I thought he was a slot WR, but rarely the 1st option on a pass route.
Not the number 1, but the safety value yes. They bracketed Cole a ton.
well i would imagine Beasley will face tougher coverage this year then last. Yes Dez has been down, etc., but teams would be stupid to not account for him every game. I remember very, very clearly games against the Eagles when it looked like Dez was a grown man playing against kids in middle school the way the Eagles could double him in the end zone and he would just grab it. this was a few years ago, yes, but i think your point about the coaching (both in game planning as well as in motivating) is where the blame should be placed.
DJ Moore would fit so well at 19. Sad to see Dez go, feel we never truly tapped into his potential.
i don't know what defenses did, but i would think whatever it was, it will be more then what defenses will do for T. Williams. and to cut him and get nothing back in return is just mismanagement. Like i said in the other thread, Eagles traded Torry Smith on an expiring contract for a starting CB and switch of draft picks. has to be a few team out there that would have given Dallas something.
I think they thought they could get him to take less. Who the hell would trade for him?
you are telling me a team like the Bills, Jags, Rams (not sure who else) who were going to head into the post-season couldn't have been totally not interested. obviously little late in the year to add a guy, but there were multiple teams this year with tons of cap space. i find it hard to believe that no one would be interested. i guess we will see soon enough if he signs with someone
DJ looks like a slot WR. He is not value at 19.
Or have plan to do it months ago. Not ruin his market by bashing him through the media.
