THE OFFICIAL 2024 - 2025 DALLAS COWBOYS SEASON THREAD || MEH

[essential1]

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix signed to replace Heath.

Ha Ha was the 19th ranked Safety. 75.5 in coverage. 76.3 in Run Defense. Both top 25.
Heath was the 44th ranked Safety. 69 in coverage. 60.3 run defense.

 

[N41D]

That's a massive upgrade.

Travis Frederick retired:

A lot less confident in the Left Side of the OLine. Feel like it’s a need now

 

[va757va]

Yea that’s a big hole to fill..Completely changes the draft strategy...

 

[N41D]

Bring back Ron Leary. Looney is fine.

Need to draft a tackle in the very near future.

This and the kid from penn state played center so we should be fine..

 

[essential1]

Dak and Cowboys are negotiating.

Dak wants 4 years at $35mil. Cowboys want 5 at $35mil

Charles Robinson in December:
Conversely, Prescott’s camp would like a shorter deal — similar to the four-year extensions of Wentz and Goff — that would allow Prescott to continue rotating into free agency and keeping his salary commensurate with where the NFL is heading with elite-level quarterback pay.

 

[essential1]

Cowboys signed Dontari Poe 2 year $10.5mil

32nd Ranked DT
70.1 Run Def
63.6 Pass Rush

Should mean T. Crawford’s days are numbered.

There really are only a few things to look at
-Slot WR
-Inside OLine Depth
-DE opposite DLaw
-DB (not convinced Awuzie/Lewis can be the 1-2 DBs)
-Punter
-KR/PR

 

[N41D]

They’re gonna have to cave and give Dak 4 years.

But part of me feels like if he’s sign for 4/35per it’d be done already.

 

[bigmike23]

What’s up with having 2 kickers? And one of them missed 9 field goals last year.

even with the signings on defense, I would still draft defensive heavy in the draft..

I was hopping the cowboys got one of these free agent WR that went cheap.

 

[essential1]

Letting the Kickers compete I guess.

With you on defensive side in the draft. Really isn’t a lot of places to go on Offense. Mid to late rounds can find the value for offense. But wouldn’t commit to any in the first 3, maybe 4 rounds on offense.

I also bet there can be a veteran WR, and LG/C available with July cuts.

 

[floodarea]

Who else but us?

 

[Remy LeBeau]

Knucklehead

 

[N41D]

Him and Gregory hitting reboot this year...

 

[essential1]

I mean the 90s teams were full of a bunch of guys who were in dirt. Hopefully he’s turned it around. But the track record isn’t great in the past 10 years.

 

[Remy LeBeau]

It really depends on if Smith is sober. I'm cool with some of his childhood friends and even they said it would take him losing everything to straighten up. Hopefully his time away has gotten him right because this is his last chance.

Not the same at all.

 

[bigmike23]

Watching the 2014 cowboys vs OBj catch game.

my lord did that team overachieve that year

Watching the 2014 cowboys vs OBj catch game.

my lord did that team overachieve that year

Which team Overachieved? Cause the 2014 Cowboys were stacked

 

[bigmike23]

Stacked how?

 

[nflowshoe]

Stacked how?

Offense had 7 pro bowlers and 4 All pro first team. The Defense wasn’t elite but serviceable. Seahawks went out of their way to avoid them in playoffs

 

[bigmike23]

If all it took was the 17th pick to get Jamal Adams would y’all do it?

 

[floodarea]

If all it took was the 17th pick to get Jamal Adams would y’all do it?

In a heartbeat

 

[N41D]

If all it took was the 17th pick to get Jamal Adams would y’all do it?

Without giving it a second thought.

 

[essential1]

Yes. I’d even include a mid round 4th or 5th if needed.

There’s no real glaring holes that need addressing in the first Round.
I wouldn’t say we absolutely need to draft a 1st Round Center, Edge or DB.
