The defense won't be putrid. It will be middle of the road with sporadic pass rush. The offense will need to dominate or the defense will tire quickly.
This is why I was high on the Zeke pick (and yes, I know it's already been discussed). I'm not sure Bosa or anybody would have been an instant impact the way Zeke should be. No doubt they would have improved/helped our D, but our best shot is doing what we did in 2014 and run the damn ball down people's throats. And when they finally commit to stopping the run we burn them with the passing game. But the key is control the clock and keep our defense fresh.
The real shot to the gut was the 2nd round. As it was said, I appreciate their "draft the best player" approach, but you do have to consider Romo's longevity (or lack their of) at this point. A red-shirt for our 2nd rounder was a horrible idea! There were so many guys that could have helped us this year. Maybe some of them will end up being average players, but they could have helped us.
What good does it do if Jaylon Smith turns into an All Pro linebacker in 3-4 years but Romo is now retired (having not won a Super Bowl) and our team is now in major rebuilding mode!?
