So, we sign Melton and all of a sudden we have filled our big needs and have the luxury to go BPA?

God damn.

Dude, he did not just mention Melton. He mentioned Mincey specifically.

We got Mincey. DE not a need anymore. BPA.

DL is still a priority, just don't have to force it. I do think we might look as much at LB as DL.

I get it, but if signing trash like Mincey and especially McClain does more than give insurance for disaster of your targets not being available...you are doing it wrong.

Feh. We're getting at least 1 DE in the draft, no doubt...early too.

Hey, we got Mincey. Will get Spencer too per Stephen if the "price is raht".

 

[Carp]

I look at it this way...Jerry had a bright shiny DE/OLB for a long time, he'll try to replicate that.

 

[NoDak]

Hmmm... That looks like it might be a good idea.

Maybe we should have thought of it before.

Steve is trolling.

That is what blows my mind the most.

So...last year was such an eye opener? Really? WTF were they thinking all along?

They were just unlucky?

BTW, he did mention that about luck. He said he didn't know if it was "bad luck" or not but they are looking to keep that from happening.

Unreal.

No way you can sat that without a doubt.

Hell, they are already spouting about BPA instead of need because of their fantastic offseason moves.

Jesus, everyone here preaches BPA but now it's reason to bitch as well.

I believe in BPA, but there is a balance that has to be maintained. You have to keep your needs in mind as well. If our dipshit FO believes they have solved our DL problems with our FA period so far, I can easily see them ignoring it in the draft and going BPA like CB or TE early.

Or offensive tackle.

I really believe that the Dallas scouting staff artificially inflates the grades of certain positions. Not intentionally, but those positions that they have had luck at in the past (or those that they can get a lot of snaps out of young guys at) are rated higher. Scouts can say "Hey, I did my job, look how much he played!"

Positions that the team continues to draft over and over. CB, TE, LB, WR in particular.

What would make you feel better? Does IMO work for you?

You're the one that said no doubt, not me.

Being lied to makes people angry.

They aren't going to take BPA, they are going to get cute and f*ck around. BPA is going to be code for drafting more players like Escobar.

 

[Carp]

I did...no doubt. We're not done on the DL, guaranteed.

Thinly-veiled shot at his Daddeh?

To bad part is, I think they are taking BPA. Their board is just f'd up with overrating CB's and TE's instead of other more valuable positions.

 

[Carp]

I doubt we get an early CB or TE...think the focus is going to be DL, S, LB, OL. WR is more likely IMO too.
