New York and Aaron Rodgers over Charlotte and Bryce Young.  Was there any doubt?

If there is one of the top QBs that fall to #33, then listen to offer to move back.  McCarthy has gotten popular of late, so it's likely NIx or Pennix.

Shaq just announced he's changing from #7 back to #54.

Mike Williams and Clowney both wore #7 in college. Could mean something, could mean nothing.

Good because LBs wearing single digits looks stupid.

LOl, then what is the rest of WR room?  XFL/CFL all-stars?

I’m on the Sweat bandwagon as well, would be a spectacular front three

WR at #33, Sweat at #39.  I've mocked him some a while back, but I like how he's start to pop up in other mocks as well.

The one year he was a starter the entire year, he produced a 1,000 yard season.   TMJ hasn't had that in his career yet.

G > TE

In our case, absolutely.  However, people can't complain when we chose to stand on the sidelines as the there's a fire sale at another position and we didn't prioritize TE.  Now that the shelf is bare, folks are asking why we aren't signing a TE.  Because what's left isn't much better than what we already have.

Unless you can land a legit difference making TE, it's not a good position to spend decent FA money on or you end up with situations just like Hurst

While I was cautiously optimistic about Hurst, his track record as a former first round pick was underwhelming.  Usually first rounders that bounce around so much are because they haven't lived up to their 'potential' and the next team tries to unlock it.  I think most people thought he would be better than Ian Thomas and while true, not much.

The solution is not to throw in the towel and roll with these guys.  Yes, we need to draft a TE, but we aren't getting Bowers outside of a massive trade up, the rest of the class is no where close to day 1 ready.  There are a few TEs remaining in FA that are better than what we have...not a whole lot, but better.

Gallup targets: 57

Mingo targets: 85

Gallup had studs ahead of him eating up targets.  What was Mingo's excuse?  The juggernaut known as Adam Thielen?

My crystal ball says the same package could be had for Bryce in 2026.

Guards were the bigger deal for us by far.

And the talent at TE just wasn't there.

We went the right direction.

TEs that got gobbled up we're overpaid.

Robert Tonyan would be a dude I take a two-year flyer on.  I'm seeing he's still a FA.  A JAG TE, but would be head and shoulders better than anything we have. 

I disagree about the lack of talent, BTW.  We couldn't afford what talent that was at the top of the market with all the holes we had.  Just because we weren't willing to pay market price doesn't mean the market was bad.  You can't tell me you wouldn't take Henry, Knox, Gesicki, Fant, Everett, Dissly, Smith, or Schultz over ANY dude in our current TE room.

Too slow on the draw.  While other teams were gobbling up TES the first day of FA, we were signing guards.  The pickings are very slim now.

I like it.  Dallas has too many horses in the stable.  There's only one football.  I think Gallop would shine in out JAG WR room.

If Bowers somehow falls past #15, I'm moving up.  The depth of this draft at several positions could push him down.  As far as a move down, about 10 spots is limit of where I'm comfortable.

I have always like Gallup. I think he will get picked up relatively quickly. Only 28. 

Another guy I wanted to draft.  Too many dudes on the Cowboys to spread the ball around to.  I think as a focal point, he would thrive.

So, can he play TE?

Not another one of our star TEs!!! Whatever shall we do!  That's it, I guess we will have to totally revamp our TE room.

Who the fug is Branden Fiske and why is he worth us taking a defensive lineman at #33 overall ?? I'd be suprised if the first 3 picks are all defense like that even with the Diontae Johnson signing. We still really could use a bona-fide Center and a younger WR high 

Edit: now I see Jalen McMillan not bad. For mid round WRs I was looking at Brenden Rice and CMCs brother as a potential late round WR 

Fiske is a super athletic D-lineman.  Pair him with Brown.  We would have our bookends.  Brown on the strong side, Fiske on the the weak side.  Dude ran a 4.7 as a DT.  He only had the best broad jump, vert and 20 shuttle time of all the DTs at the combine too.  To say he crushed it would be an understatement.

Okay, I will take this in a heartbeat!

This is what I was talking about when I said I wanted to draft this dude.

Look at that Senior year, 132 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks. 2 INTs and a FF.  That's only in 12 games.  The prior two seasons were very sold as well.

Eh, sign him or don't, no biggie to me.  A local guy though.   Hometown discount perhaps?

Returner and gadget play guy, nothing more.

Dude was a tackling machine in college.  I haven't kept up with him much in the pros, but dude is a heat seeking missile type of LB. Hopefully he's still the same.

I wanted to draft him out of college.  I like the move.

Looks like Corbett to C, 2 new OGs, BC to swing T, Ickey and Moton at starting OTs.

Yup, and we still have Zavala, Mays and Jensen as backup guards.  Lee as another backup OT.   That's a standard OL quantity for a 53 man roster.  I still would like to draft a center on day 3. 

The focus of the draft, however, has shifted to the defense.  Outside of a needed WR, we have to reload our D.
