Rather draft Mazi Smith or the Baylor guy but sign Hankins to a 1 year deal just in case.

4th round pick in the forum mock

proof · 03-19-2023, 05:14 PM

after adding cooks and wishing on a star that gallup bounces back and we get something out of tolbert, I’d rather give ferguson and hendershot a chance and look elsewhere in the first. personally.

also, love the trade. wish they could’ve pulled it off at the deadline

Depending on the market, the team may still have eyes on Bobby Wagner as well. If they can pull off Hank, Wagner and grab an insurance body at guard, it opens up a ton of options come draft time.

I can’t see it with Wagner. I think it was either/or with him and LVE. How about A’Shaun Robinson? Great run stuffer.

All comes down to the $$$ hopefully Micah and Diggs are out here still recruiting guys to sign on a budget. Might be vet minimums from here out lol

I remember reading or hearing that it would've taken a 3rd rounder to get him during the season before the deadline. This is a guy they chased before.

To get him now with only a 5th and future 6th is some real fancy dealing by Jerruh. I'm happy with the value for sure, but a part of me pains because I was really hoping for DaAndre Hopkins. Cooks doesn't have the catch radius that a Dak receiver needs, nor is he someone you can throw to while being covered. D-Hop would've been that. Again, good get with Cooks, but I wonder if this is enough. Getting too cute here instead of being really aggressive and getting a REAL difference maker... me thinks.

Fair value. I like his giddy up. Has some torque in his stride. Perhaps can be the guy who replaces Pollard in the future.

Would like to get a powerback before the draft ends, if there is one... Or trade for Derrick Henry, lol

If I remember correctly they were demanding a first, and weren't planning on taking on any of his salary at the deadline. Think they tried holding Dallas over a barrel thinking they'd cave to improve their shot at the SB last year.

And I really like/prefer Nuk as well, but after getting busted for PED's he's now missing games for the first time in his career. So have to wonder if he's going to fall off a cliff sooner than later. I really like the intersection of talent and value in cooks, personally.

Shultz signed by Houston. TE going to get a heavy look in the first round.

The Cowboys have restructured Brandin Cooks contract, turning $8m of his $12m base salary into signing bonus. His salary is now $4m. He will count $6m against the cap. He is still making the $18m he was guaranteed in 2023 with Houston paying him $6m.

Amazing moves this year in FA. Jerruh feelin' like his days are numbered or what?

If so, it better be Darnell Washington.

Witten4hof · Yesterday, 03:57 AM

TE is a tough sell in the 1st round for me. History shows it usually takes a couple of seasons for guys to get rolling at the position. I think with Cook, Gilmore and Pollard being short term (although very good) moves, they need to try and find someone who can contribute right away to maximize their chances to make a playoff run.

IMO, Ferg/Hendershot showed enough last year that we can get away with a vet signing to fill out the roster and still be okay at the position.

More solid moves today, Chuma Edoga signed as veteran insurance at G/T. Dante Fowler is back to keep the pass rush group pretty fat. Rico Dowdle is coming back and Ronald Jones II added at RB for some added insurance for TP.

I like it, nothing flashy but plugging more holes heading into the draft. Just need to grab a NT (Hankins, Woods, Robinson all still available) and I’d say their likely done unless someone like B-Wagz or Calais Campbell decides they want in on a one year vet deal.

Interesting. Sound moves.
