Biggest Draft need at this point?

[Dustdevil]

For a 0.500 team I can't think of a critical need like I could last year. (You're not going to find a QB in the mid/high 2nd round better than Dak, so don't even start...)

Every position seems at least decent except maybe TE and Swaim is ok.

What do you go after in the 2nd? TE? S? OT? DL?

Its still the DT position IMO with TE a very close second, followed by Safety.

I would go along with this. More OL depth and someone that can return punts as well.

QB. The most important position on the field.

I still think better coaching and play-calling would help Prescott immensely.

He obviously has some flaws, but some of them could be fixed by someone better versed in coaching QB mechanics and definitely helped by implementing a better offensive system.

Yep, agree.

Obviously T Fred's situation plays a huge role here, if he is fine and can play at his usual level we're in good shape on OL, but if not then it's a potential major issue.

I remember a few blurbs from scouts saying C Williams could potentially be a C, I wonder if they'd think about moving him there if Fred had to retire.

Otherwise interior OL is a significant need in next years draft. RT could also be something they need to work on.

So you're not buying all these stats about how epic Prescott has been dinking and dunking his way to his completion percentage, QBR and wins?

Same way you bought it with Romo, and same as the typical NFL QB, truth be known. But with far fewer bonehead picks than the typical.

Dak just simply isn't anywhere near as stinky as you fervently wish he was.

Yeah, I get it but remember it's middle/hi 2nd round. Your probably not going to find a franchise QB there. Maybe a capable backup with good potential to develop (which is not a bad idea) but I think you need to consider a 1st rd. pick for that.

It's a different mindset. You have to think in terms of what player is available in the 2nd round makes my team significantly better. I'm thinking you can get a hi quality TE in the 2nd. Or BPA, if that's your thing.

Not a bad idea if you have the COACHING for it. Waste of a pick when you don't.

Your alternative is Cooper Rush.....

At current. But you're not thinking offseason. FA. Capable backups cheap there without wasting a #2 draft pick.

It makes NO sense at all to draft a QB in the mid to late 2nd round, especially when it has been demonstrated we can't develop a QB, and since this draft isn't exactly QB rich.
