Countdown to Elliot: Dallas Cowboys 2016 Offseason Thread

[Spade]

I was just going off of eye test. Alot of penalties. Alot less disciplined. I understand the loss of romo played a huge part, but dmc is just averaging a bit above 4 ypc. Even when romo was playing, the running game wasnt playing out great. I shouldnt have used huge difference but there was a notable difference in efficiency when running the ball

Yeah that's how I see it. I'm not down on the Oline nor the new Oline coach as much as I am on Dooley and the receivers, Henderson and the secondary, and the others. But the oline played better last season partly because Dallas had better play from the RT last season and Dallas was more disciplined. Free had a meh year this year at best.

Ramsey or death for me

nikkas, we need Bosa. We need someone that's gonna create havoc on QBs. I'm tired of watching us giving QBs years to throw the ball. From what I've seen from Bosa, he could be the next JJ Watt.

Put Bosa with Hardy, and a 2nd year Gregory, our D-line should be terrifying.

If we can't get Bosa we should go Ramsey. Praying for Bosa though

 

[Spade]

If you want Bosa, you better hope we don't win another game and Cleveland and San Diego win out because one of those two teams are taking him. In fact, if the Browns keep Manziel, I think that's where he's going.

We just traded up into the early 2nd for DLaw last year and took a gamble on a 2nd who had top15 rank in Gregory this year. We just extended Crawford (another 2nd). We already have a ton invested in the dline. I don't see Jerry and Boys investing even further.

If they decide to keep Hardy, 0% chance we would draft another dlineman in the first 2 rounds. This team has a LOT of holes. Jerry always thinks we're 1 year away. He will go for flash or a position of true need and scarcity.

We need a true DT in the worst way. We also need 2 outside corners and a SS. ONLY 2 players in secondary that are anywhere near league average are slot Scandrick and corner/FS Jones.

Secondary needs a talent infusion in the worst way. Carr, Claiborne, Church, Wilcox are liabilities in coverage, tackling, taking angles to tackle, forcing TOs, getting big stops. They are trash. 1 hot game every 8 game average.

Fa real. Actually was upset last year that we didn't get one.

We went Byron over Malcom Brown. I was pissed at the time but after we took Gregory in the 2nd and seeing the type of player Jones can be in a couple years, I'm cool with it. Excited even.

How can people not see we need a stud DT in this draft, if we keep drafting DE then this defense will never get over the hump. Imagine how many sacks Lawrence & Gregory (& possibly Hardy) would get if we had constant pressure up the middle, notice how QBs were able to constantly step up in the pocket when we brought pressure.

Lol no way Jerruh drafts a DT with a top 5 pick.
Itll be a corner, wr, qb or LB

My Picks for the 1st pick
DT: Robert Nkemdiche
CB/S: Jalen Ramsey or Vernon Hargreaves
LB: Jaylon Smith

If they have to draft a QB in the 1st then i'd go with Paxton Lynch, every other QB looks like they're mid 2nd rd at best.

I wouldnt Mind Jaylon Smith with our first pick


Some scouts compared him to Patrick Willis coming out of college

Never know, Stephen straight up took that Manziel pick out of his hand and told him to go sit in the corner
