We are in an almost no-lose situation at 17. It's definitely a sweet spot in this draft for sure.

The more I think about it, the more I think it's perfect for a trade down opportunity.

I'm absolutely game for that. The sweet spot for the draft as a whole is 2nd-4th rounds, IMO. Get me an extra 3rd or 4th and profit.

Same here my friend, same here, especially if we're looking for defensive backs (as things currently stand).

I'm betting he goes crawling back to Seattle for that 1 year deal to try to rebuild his market. I'm just glad he's not stealing money in Dallas.

Personally I hope he goes back to the Seahawks and repeats his 3 sacks in 13 games performance. People here would be furious with that type of production. And I get that he produces in other areas but those are some bad sack numbers for a DE. 4 forced fumbles and a pick on the other hand, I see some upside with.

Trading down definitely is starting to feel like the right move. Especially with as little as we have done in free agency. We added one starting DT.

We lost a starting corner, starting DT, starting DE and starting safety. Granted the DT and Safety were awful anyway but we need everything on defense between the secondary and D-line.

Sacks is how those guys get paid. He didn't get them, that's why he's not getting paid (among other reasons). Look no further than Robert Quinn. He got his (sacks) and then got his (money).

And just like that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are suddenly relevant again.

For the first time since about 2000 I think.

Jesus, we really just aren't trying anymore. It's sad when other teams are signing multiple good players and Dallas has basically signed one good dude. No idea what we would be waiting for now.

One you sign a top talent like Maurice Canady, it is all downhill from there.

I really like the McCoy signing but shit that's not going to fix this defense by itself. And while we know we will build through the draft the defense is going to be a big problem again if we don't do something to fix it. You can't just lose everyone and replace them with Canady level players and expect to get any better.

Well, there goes the last affordable free agent NT option...

A loaded DT market and we essentially sit it out.

Don't get me wrong, I love that we stole Gerald McCoy, but he's essentially just an improvement and replacement for Collins.

We're treading water overall, if not slipping backwards. The subtractions are greatly outweighing the additions thus far.

Nor can you expect the draft to be a home run.

 

[Stasheroo]

Bum.

And a thief.

Set himself up for that huge payday in a contract year and hasn't given a shit since. Fuck that guy.

Sure as shit hasn't been lately!
