Dallas Cowboys 'too many needs, not enough picks' solution

- If you're not new around here you might already know where this is headed, but the Cowboys have quite a few needs and not enough draft picks to fill them all.
They need a starting left tackle to replace Tyron Smith, a starting center to replace Tyler Biadasz, a starting running back to replace Tony Pollard. I also need guys to compete for snaps at defensive tackle, linebacker, cornerback and wide receiver.
The Trey Lance trade took away the Cowboys fourth round pick this year. I'd like to see them get one back and also add some more draft ammo. Let's go over the plan and the math.

Doesn't matter what they do, they will only bad mouth and try to devalue the player when it comes time to resign the players. This front office has been a cluster *#@% for years now.. Totally lost faith/hope in this organization..
That's where I am; they can do anything, or nothing, and it doesn't matter to me. I don't have the heart, or the stomach, to care any more. I don't bleav in this organization to punch its way out of a soggy paper sack.
I couldn't agree with you more! Trade down and fill multiple positions with versatile players.
Should always do this. Key is finding trading partners who will give up slightly more value than you are offering
but the only way this team actually improves is by getting their number 1 picks to work out and I'd argue the cowboys are quite poor in the second round, even the late 1st round they make bad mistakes. It's almost best for them to stay put.
I like your plan. The problem is that it requires creativity from the Jones family. So, unfortunately, that isn't going to happen.
Facts. They seem to not have any football/salary cap management skills. They definitely don't have any courage to make any bold decision. The Chiefs, Eagles, Steelers, Dolphins, Texans, Lions and 49ers are so fortunate to have their management groups.
Jeff's got the there is something about mary hair gel
You know what that was made from? 😆
Oh wow I somehow overlooked Jeff's hair... situation until I saw this comment and now it seems really obvious lol
Glad to hear Jeff finally came out proud of you
Take the best player... Don't draft for need. When they draft for need they've missed bad
If they had actually done something to address needs during the free agency period then you can draft bpa. Unfortunately, the Cowboys were on the yacht out in the middle of the ocean and didn't have any internet and/or cell phone reception so we completely missed out on filling any needs during free agency period. Thus, we are stuck with drafting to fill holes everywhere.
Love IT!!! Unfortunately we have to go for quantity not quality in this draft, but there's still some quality to be found in the first 100 picks.
Loving me some Cooper Beebe, I think he'll have a 10 year NFL career and he can do 99% of the first round guys. Best of all you can get him in the mid to late 2nd round.
I love it Jeff!!! Trading down is definately the best path!
Baltimore's not gonna trade up. All the picks always fall to them and they are classic best player available drafting team.
Fantastic show...
Im all for that trade down scenario jeff! Gimme my center and left tackle for sure in the first two rounds, followed by either linebacker or runningback in the next 2 or vice versa. And finaly day 3 will be my darts for dt and wideout positions
Agree 100 percent but need a partner it’s take Two to Tango
I love you & your ideas! Only one little problem-we don’t make calls, remember? (“It’s bad negotiating”), so we wait for calls that don’t come…. Jeez, these cheap, unserious bozos
Excellent, Jeff is back
I'm back! Just a couple weeks from draftin' I gotta crank up the content
The Norse Mythology is a good book Jeff! Big Neil Gaiman fan!
Jeff I’m with you on Terrence Steele. Huge weak link in our o line last year yet they are going to give him the start, because they paid him big bucks. After an acl injury.
Go OT, LB and then RB for best available players. It’s really that simple.
With your trades my perfect 4 rounds would be:
1.30 A. Mims LT
2.60 E. Cooper LB
3.87 S. Van Pran C
3.93 B. Rice WR
4.128 B. Allen or J. Wright RB
First three rounds. I like the trade down. Round 1 OT round 2 center round 3 RB. All starters.
Love the trade-down strategy, and your trade partners really fit. Baltimore and Buffalo are Super Bowl contenders who are not in roster building mode. They’re ripe for the trade-up. 👍
Trade back, Suamataia 28-35. Trade back at 56 to 60-65, use day 2 picks on 3 of 4 WR/RB/LB/C. Day 3, try to find value at DT/CB
Am I the only one that thinks you can use the “Captain Caveman” yell for “Captain Trade Down!”😂
I too couldn't agree more: Trade down there are some scenarios I look at doing a similar deal with Detroit could you take a look at that and tell me what you think?
If you are going to take a tackle then it's valid to consider a small trade down.
If the intent is to take a center and Barton or JPJ is there it's not valid to do a trade down.
I ❤ captain trade down scenario. It’s the best way to create the depth they need. But recently the Cowboys rarely trade once let alone two or three times. If another team does call, I hope at least Stephen will talk to them this time.
Captain trade down is great. If what you said worked out, we are cookin. With all the needs we need, why not?
DT is a serious need for a Zimmer defense. There is only 2 DT's on the roster that weighs more that 285 lbs. Zimmer's d-line average 6'3 294 with a stout 1tech weighing 315 or over and the other tackle weighs between 288 and 300. We have no DT's on the roster at that size and height. These types of players must be identified and drafted during the later rounds to help Zimmer effectively implement his defense.
Hope your Mental health is doing good Jeff 👍
First off take the best available player in all three rounds. I really like the idea of trading back twice to get more picks to a WR and LB. Rd1 LT, Rd2 RB and Rd3 C is what I would like them to address.
Do you know the schedule for training camp in Oxnard Ca? Also when do the pads come on?
Digging the ideas and the Jimmy Neutron hair. Please talk to Bryan with a y and have him stop all the QB and trade up talk. Bless you and your mentals.
I would trade down slightly just to grab 3rd/4th we lost, when it makes sense. If no good trades can happen then pick best available in an area of need, which should be easy since every group has a need.
Still watching the video... come on down Captain Tradedown!
Just wish we were picking higher to get more value back for trading down. Getting an immediate starting caliber player past the third round is a stretch.
The needs are in positions that can be filled easily through the draft, last seasons BS draft and Vet FA
I’d love to see them deal Dak, Micah, and Ceedee. They’d have the picks to dominate the draft for two years and get themselves out of their current position which has them on track to give 50% of their cap space to only 3 players.
NOBODY has enough picks! Smh…
Jeff when mock drafts???
Too many needs you hope the best to get 3 good draft picks and atleast 2 subs that's 5 rounds of players and hope you get more. They have been good at undrafted picks. Tok many holes 10-7 at best.
Isn't it crazy that a team that won it's division for the second time (in the last three years) and hasn't lost a single "star" player (and returns one, in Diggs) would have so many holes it can't fill them in the draft? That the need to "stuff the run" is STILL so priority that we can consider wasting multiple first round picks on it but never EVER even think about taking the most important position on the team anywhere NEAR that round? I guess in the way Will keeps filling up that trophy case we still trust. Just like every other organizational model that holds on to GM's and leadership personnel (cough, QB's) that annually coil in terror at their ghosts in the post-season... Year, after year, after year.
Sounds more like a leadership problem than a personnel problem... Owner, Coach, Fake GM and QB. And only so many of those things are malleable. So, let's keep targeting the things we can't change and tripling down on the ones we can. And remember, those who fear the post-Aikman QB drought - during which we NEVER even attempted to GET a top quarterback (and still haven't... Sean Payton just lucked us into one, not a Jones or McClay) - if we had not been 3-13/1-15, we never would have sniffed our LAST three Super Bowls. No risk it, no biscuit.
Go Cowboy$$$
In a perfect world for me, they trade back in the 1st and take bpa. I don't think Dallas is deep enough or talented enough at any 1 position to rule it out. Not expecting it, but I'm a Cowboys and Redsox fan so hope that an organization will change kinda goes with the territory. Lol
trade 24 to carolina for 33, 65 and 101 then we go frazier, orhorhoro, colson corley, ray davis, jordan jefferson. woulda loved a tackle but they were wiped by the time 24 came
To use your own words; "You don't want to draft horny." You don't want to trade horny either.
How do I do this at this point: Trade Lamb. You save future Cap Space, which seems to be what the Jones' want to do. WR is the easiest position to find talent in.
Target the Cardinals 1st rd (27) and one of their 3rds (66)
I know you would need to free up space, but the Cowboys should then sign Tyler Boyd and/or DJ Chark...again, "Don't draft Horny". Then extend Cooks 2-3 years because leadership is invaluable.
Now on draft day you can look at anything... Trade Down for even more picks... or make one of those deals where someone wants back in to the 1st and they overpay by giving you a 1st next year. who knows.
If we trade down .we gotta get a couple of 2nd rounders. They better not go for a bunch of 6th and 7ths.
I got all the confidence that the cowboys will get decent talent and misuse them or not use them at all they are elite when it comes to mediocracy
Starting one or two rookies is okay. Starting a bunch of the is going to be a problem. Blown assignments will hurt the team.
I like the sentiment but Dallas has traded it's 1st or 2nd Round picks just once in the last 10 years(probably longer). And in that situation they traded back just two spots.
I think Dallas like 'their guys' and if they are sitting there at their pick, they will take that player and Jerry doesn't want to move back a take a possible lesser player and pass up on a better one.
Just an observation.
Can’t fire 🔥 the GM,hell who can we fire in the front office ? Oh yeah let’s Fire Rowdy,no show at home in the playoffs 😂
We need to trade back.if only to get an extra pick by rd 4 for a rb.we need 4 top 130 players
Running back also
If Baltimore trades up, didn’t they just trade a player to swap picks…who is Dallas willing to trade?
Need a receiver to
Don't underestimate the value of finding depth with the UDFAs.
Only if the Jones think like this
Trading down in this draft is smart, los of good players available.
Man, eagles gonna have an easy next decade in the division
First 3 picks should be d. Give the 60 million dollar man a late rnd C.
Or we could try to fleece the Cardinals out of a few picks, they have a million of them
They need new executive management. The current management has proven itself incapable of making championship teams.
The current management has kept this roster in a top 5ish area and in a playoff window for a damned decade. Their only mistake was at QB.
@@timothyarnold1679 Championships?
lol I wouldn’t get your hopes up on your solution.. this is not happening.
All nfl teams churn and burn 30 % of their rosters every year ... the Boys are making room for younger players to step up .. frankly they really don't need to draft a lineman early .. they could go wide receiver , linebacker and running back in the early rounds . And frankly they wouldn't miss a step ..
If they don't miss a step by replacing Tyron Smith with Asim Richards or Chuma Edoga I would surely be surprised.
They drafted Tyler Smith to be the future left tackle .. and they have good options at left guard as well ..
Tell who’s to blame? Try Will Maclay for some heat 😡,seems he’s untouchable,like the QB,a blind squirrel 🐿️ can find a few nuts 🥜
Trade up and grab Marvin Harrison jr
Why trade with Ravens ???? They 100 percent taking OT but what I know
Oh I was just picking a team in that range. 29-32 is where the math works all properlike.
@@JeffCavanaugh Trust me I agree we must trade Back and your Capt Trade Back. Good video.
If you have your hopes up for this season and think they can fill the void with draft picks you are delusional
problem is Jerry doesn't understand anything your saying
I agree with you. Aside from athleticism, I would also like the Cowboys to focus on smart and high character athletes.
Trade Dak , Micah and Ceedee lamb and set up the franchise for success . Paying 3 guys 100-120 combined per year is a dumb way of running a business. They suck in big games .
Best first three rounds drafted by position.
Round 1: offensive linemen LT
Round 2: running back
Round three: linebacker
OT, LB and RB better. Better available players left.
So bad terrible draft I would be disappointed
Jerry Jones has ruined so many careers. He meddles in football stuff he knows NOTHING about. Jerry was a great potato farmer in Arkansas.
jones need to hire you
IMO your “too many needs not enough picks” solution is not all of these NEEDS are as big of needs as you think they are. Offensive Tackle is not as huge of a need because you know Tyler Smith can play the position at a high level. Center is not an emergency because you had very mediocre play from Tyler Biadsz and were fine, so Hoffman will be serviceable just like he was.
You narrow things down substantially. IMO getting a big time playmaker at LB is your BIGGEST need, your second is getting a dynamic running back in your offense.
You're worse at 3 o line positions under this plan. Tyler Smith needs to stay where he is and become a HOF LG. Not move him to LT and hope he develops into a pretty good LT. We did this with La'el Collins and it didn't work out like people thought it would.
Hoffman at center, Tyler at LT and unknown at LG is downgrading all three spots. That doesn’t sound fun to me.
Wouldn’t say Tyler played Left Tackle at a “high level”. Was more that he expectations for a rookie who was raw and was thrown into the deep end at the start of the season, with 0 tackle practice in training camp. He was a bit up and down to start with and struggled in second half of the season.
You’re also forgetting the elephant in the corner of the room, Steele… who is another bad season away from being a potential 2025 cut and tackle being a massive need.
@@JeffCavanaugh teams running the ball down the cowboys throat is no fun either. D line needs more help than o line
@@JeffCavanaughboth Hoffman and Bass were better than Biadisz last year.
If you slide Smith to the spot he was drafted to play there's every chance he is as good a Tyron was last year (who was good not great). Start Bass at LG, who already is better than Williams or Biadasz and draft jpj, Barton or Frazier, there's every reason to believe that lineup could be as good or even better than last years lineup by mid season.
Trade Trey.
Trade dak, cd and micha...........clear the books $$$$. Then, rebuild.
Well, you're right on one of those.
Really, then spend 🙄 the next 5 years looking for another dak, micah, and cd , right
Yeah then draft the next ones and don’t pay them either. Rinse and repeat. Front office is a joke. And Dak in a Kyle shanahan offense more than likely has a ring by now
You is really CRAZY @godsdozer
Some of these folks do not need to comment always looking for attention
Very Ignorant
