I know people will hate to hear it. But I think we really need a safety and corner. Don't get me wrong, I'd still love someone like Bain at DE to compliment EZ (Likely long gone by our picks) but this secondary feels like the real hot mess unless Revel steps in and plays well.
I have zero problem with using our top picks to focus on the back seven if the value is there. I know people will cry and complain about how the Cowboys aaalllllwaaaaays draft corners in the first. Which is patently retarded. They fixated on some stupid trope from a decade or more ago and cling to it. We heard it last year, the year before, and the year before, etc... And we'll hear it again this year leading up to the draft. Guaranteed.
My thought as well. I can already hear the cries about us always drafting corners. We don't. But this year, I'll be watching the corners closely. Bland looks like shit. Diggs if over halfway out the door. Revel has been out for a year and a half and we still have no idea if he can play football at a high level still. Corner still looks like a massive steaming pile.
I doubt there will be a safety available in the first that would be worth the pick but if Downs is around that's a no brainer.
Yeah either Downs falls (Very unlikely, but saying Will Johnson would go in the second round would have sounded crazy this time last year as well) or someone I haven't thought of yet rises.
Given our current situation if a CB is the BPA you take them, if they're near BPA they should be in the conversation depending on what else is available and what position the actual BPA plays.
A first two years from now, a 2026 second, and a bust for a pro bowl DT in his prime and very importantly under contract for the foreseeable future.
They’re fine if the talent is justified. Patrick Surtain is an impact difference-maker who justified his draft position the moment he stepped onto the field.
It’s a critical position, and now they’ve got to actually coach the rest properly. The back seven are in shambles, and I don’t know that Eberflus will even know how to use Overshown and that’s assuming he’s actually healthy and ready to play.
The rest of this year is just preparing for next year in my mind. Even the Wilson move is a no risk move with no downside, either he works out as a borderline starter and we've just plugged one of our biggest holes or we lose a 7th with no cap hit beyond 2025.
