I mean we've had injuries, but I think they're more noticeable because the team has had very poor depth, especially on the defensive side of the ball. When your best CB is only above average, then the guy behind him is probably pretty bad and losing him hurts a lot more, even if the dropoff isn't as big as it might be if he were a potential HoFer.

Claibourne has gotten a pretty bad rap--most CBs take a few years to develop into competent starters and playing in a Rob Ryan defense is a losing proposition no matter how talented you are. I no longer feel like he was a bust, but I wouldn't have traded up for him (or anyone, really). It seems a lot worse when you consider that the upside to getting someone like Kirkpatrick and staying put at 14 would have been getting someone like Alshon Jeffrey (who the pick was actually used on after the Rams traded it to the Bears), Mychal Kendricks, or Bobby Wagner in the 2nd round with the 45th pick.

True true. I really hope we can pickup a few good one's in the draft this year, but I feel like I have been saying that for multiple drafts now.

True true. I really hope we can pickup a few good one's in the draft this year, but I feel like I have been saying that for multiple drafts now.

I *think* the general strategy will be to negotiate a new contract for Romo where the team converts the bulk of his 2017 salary to playing time incentives, which would become NLTBE* incentives with Dallas, no longer counting toward the cap. That would remove about $13M from his 2017 cap hit, but would count as LTBE incentives for whatever new team he joined. Then ideally, the team works out a trade that goes through on June 1st, which would put $10.7M in dead money on the books in 2017 and another $8.9M on the books in 2018. But over both of those years, Dak Prescott will cost next to nothing, leaving room to sign both the team's rookies and maybe 1-2 mid-level free agents. If the bulk of draft picks are on defense and Jaylon Smith comes back and plays well, we could be looking at an even stronger team next year.

This could also be accomplished with a simple Post June 1st cut, but that's less advantageous, albeit easier to accomplish. The big challenge with a trade is that Dallas has to get under the cap before the first league year to trade Romo, so they have to renegotiate his contract prior to that point for things to work. But getting Romo off the books makes a lot of room for signing other guys.

I could see multiple teams being interested, but knowing that we need him gone I think they wait for the post June 1st cut....

And man I really don't know about Jaylon Smith.... So many reports going from he will never play again, to he is already ready for 2017 season...

EDIT: Do you see us taking a CB with the first pick? I think alot will be gone by our time, would love to get Adoree Jackson, but I would settle for a Jalen Tabor...

It's hard to say how the trade of Romo will work out. It's very possible he could be traded before June 1st, and the Cowboys will just eat his full dead money hit this year. That may be more likely than a team waiting to trade for him until after June 1st. With regard to his contract, it's advantageous financially to trade for him instead of waiting for free agency because 1. you don't have to bid against anyone else financially (and you know some idiot team is willing to give him a 5-year deal), and 2. If you trade for him, his contract is completely non-guaranteed at that point, making it easy to cut him after 1 or 2 years with no consequences as they relate to dead money and an easy path to restructuring.

I'm hopeful Jaylon Smith will play next year. It was certainly a gamble taking him, but the Cowboys' team doctor was also responsible for performing his surgery, so I doubt they believed he'd never play again at that point (and reports suggesting as such were giving worst-case scenarios). The most recent reports suggest he could have played in this year's playoffs with a brace (supposedly he's running 4.5s right now), but the Cowboys chose not to activate him and play it safe. Given where the team is with regard to the playoffs, I think we'll see him playing next year, though I have no idea how his play will be affected or whether his knee is 100%, or if this is mostly optimistic bullshit.

I have no idea if we'll take a CB with the first pick. There are a number of needs on offense and defense and it will depend on who is available at the pick. Claibourne, Church, Wilcox, and Terrell McClain are all UFAs next year, so it's entirely possible that we'll look at a Safety or DT. Top Safeties tend to go lower--late 1st/early 2nd round, so it may behoove us to pick up a top safety instead of a CB. Similarly, Leary is also a UFA next year and Free is aging and will be a UFA in 2018, so RT is also a potential position we'd look at. Similarly, CB may be less of a priority if we can improve the pass rush, reducing the amount of time our Secondary is exposed.

With regard to the strengths of each position class, you'll have to ask one of the more college/draft-focused goons. I typically don't start paying attention to the draft until the combine, and don't tend to think about prospects before that. I don't know if this is a strong/weak year for CBs/Ss/LBs/DTs/DEs/whatever. I think Doltos knows more about that poo poo?
