Imo Cowboys can get at least 3 much needed immediate impact guys (possibly 4) outa this draft. Im in favor of going that route & if the QB position is still a big problem next year you can try and address it then. I absolutely am not in favor of moving up from the 2nd to mid 1st for any of those QBs. Thats gona cost you premium picks this year and next.
If they come outa the top 3 rounds with 4 immediate impact bpas (4 instead of 3 means they traded down) at DB, LB, DL, & Wr or RB Id be thrilled.
The big issue here is that Dallas will be hard pressed to be this bad next year or any of the following years. Dallas has a unique chance to use this year to set themselves up for the next 12-15 years at the Most important position in football. If you wait until next year, odds are you're picking in the 18-28 range, where, let's be honest, it's near impossible to find a franchise quarterback, especially a draft with three top flight quarterbacks that excelled at passing at the college level.
You can get safeties, running backs, linemen (especially linemen), and backers throughout the draft, but you're sticking your head in the sand if you think that you can pluck quarterbacks in rounds 2-4 and they magically become playmakers.
Dallas' most immediate need right now might be along the defensive line, but the most immediate need for this franchise to contend tomorrow and into the future is quarterback. This season stands as proof.
With the Jerry talk of "now, now, now" it can be very easy to get sucked into the "super bowl or bust" mentality. Minnesota was sucked into it in the late 80's. You have to be able to see the forest for the trees and beyond your own nose in situations like these.
