I'm okay taking Hernandez from UTEP. He might be the 2nd best offensive lineman in the draft and is a plug and play starter from day 1.
I honestly feel you on that...but I'm not with having 4 or 5 first rounders on the O line...
It shouldn't take that much. That's why you brought in an Alexander who's a 20+ year vet in coaching o lineman. Use that first pick on LB or trade up or out of the spot. Honestly, I've told ya'll a lot, I ain't feeling a safety, especially one we would have to trade up to get. Feels like this franchise is okay with being stagnant. I'm not saying go out and give big contracts to all these available free agents, but to not make ANY moves for some of these lower priced vets?
Why not a Vaccacro? A Boston? Guys that would fit the scheme and have experience...I'm sure they'll want something, but at this point, the asking price has to be low or around what you want. They looking at WR. It's ALWAYS this offense. Put more resources on that defensive side. Taco, the DB haul from last year were great starts. But put some serious picks at DT or LB...guys who affect how/when the QB throws. This FO has to be more forward thinking. I have to believe that good GMs stack for the upcoming year, but set themselves up for a 3 to 5 year outlook. Yeah, we can have the money if we need to, but all that does is put this problem off or make it worse in the upcoming years.
First 3 picks should be LB, DT, WR (depending on if they release/trade a current WR ie: Bease, Williams) in no particular order other than not drafting WR first.
We have to stop holding onto guys, especially ones that are progress stoppers...Guys like O Scan. He was good, lasted 10 years after being selected in the 5th round. Loyalty should be for the Dez's, Witten's and Romo's of the world... The only guys I think we SHOULD be loyal to on this team currently are, All Pro trio on OL (Martin, Fredrick, Smith (kinda)), Lee (MAYBE! bc of injury), Zeke, and maybe Dak. They the only ones that honestly deserve it or make sense to be loyal to. I'm telling you, teams like the Pats, Packers, Steelers, etc get it...they bring em in, and get em out BEFORE they aren't valuable trade pieces. Having a GM OUTSIDE of the Jones family would be perfect. Stop letting these buffoons drive the bus when it's clear they have no direction...
DT
LB
WR
that's how I'm going
