Romo injury literally the only reason we went 4-12 last year. Some teams rely more heavily on QB'S than others. You think NE would have sniffed the playoffs without Brady?..Panthers without Cam?..
I just don't think it's fair to judge the FO based off last year. I do agree we got some holes to fill but smart teams don't overpay for good ones, they pay for great ones. Not gonna lie, I thought the Carr signing was great when it happened. He was young and coming off a great season. But hell we could have gotten 2 barely above average players to match Carr's production. I think that's what the strategy is gonna be going forward. Find production and spend big bucks if you think you got a gamechanger. Other than that build through the draft. Look at what Denver did..their best players were acquired through the draft and not too flashy FA moves (outside of Talib). They just signed a bunch of promising young players that fit their system, and a couple OG's (Daniels and Ware). They let 2 of their best defense players go but I'm willing to bet the production from the D don't draft drastically. And that's cause they draft well and stack production. I ain't gonna lie, I also laughed at the Ware signing. Dude looked washed, but a change of scenery and scheme works wonders.
I say that to say, if we are serious about contending we need to bring some OG's in. If we can sneak in Lamar Miller or another young back that's gonna make impact fine, but I think the focus should be on dudes getting older and released cause they were no longer worth their last contract. I'm talking dudes like Pacman, Mike Wallace possibly...Cruz if he gets cut tomorrow. Possibly Forte at the right price.
Sign another backup and do not reach for one at 4. Take a project back in the late rounds maybe.
This Randy Gregory situation is lowkey a huge set back. Smh. We can't afford to take anymore stoners in this year draft. Clayborne would be interesting in a limited role. Maybe you take Bosa or Buckner at 4...thing is DE's sometimes take time to develop. So maybe you go with Ramsey and let him and Jones sure up our safety for years to come. Bring MO back. Cut Carr in July and go from there.
I wouldn't be opposed to trading out of that 4th spot to get more pieces.
The players I can see making us immediately better next year are Myles Jack, Treadwell, Mike Thomas, Zeke, maybe Hargreaves idk
I just wanna win with a competent team competent coach is that too much to ask for
