Is that gonna be the Dallas tradition going forward? 

It's not just Jaylon Smith. It already is a tradition. Sean Lee was one of those guys too, as was Bruce Carter, remember him? All 2nd rounders, all LBs that may have been firsts if not for ...something. it's not always injuries either. Randy Gregory was our 2nd rounder the year he came out.

 

It's pretty clear that Dallas wants a starter with the first pick, like all teams. In the 2nd they are extremely prone to taking a guy that may have been a 1st if not for.... something. It's not every year, but there's to many examples for it to not be in their philosophy. Basically in the 2nd round they are some gambling mother ******'s.

Ahhhh ok now I remember. The Eagles went that route this year with Sidney Jones. It's just a cool thing to do.

I hated the Jaylon Smith pick, and loved the Randy Gregory pick. I thought surely getting someone to quit smoking was going to be easier than a nerve regeneration. Seems I was wrong.

Since this isn't a strong LB class and Derwin James will be long gone, my list goes:

1. DT: A DT like Da'Ron Payne would help the DL.

2: WR: We need someone new opposite of Dez Bryant because Terrance Williams sucks.

3. S: We need a playmaker back there at safety. Byron Jones and Jeff Heath are not the answer.

You need to scrap Dez Bryant because he doesn't work with Dak. Brice Butler is actually a good WR from what I've seen of him in my limited viewing.

EDIT: IDK why it took me immediately to that post in this thread lolwhoops.

What does everyone consider to be the deepest parts of this class?

I think DT is the obvious one.

I think a role playing WR (IE not a #1) - I consider last years class more top heavy. 

RBs are insane in terms of starting potential. 

Interior OL also seems really deep. 

There are also a ton of QBs that will likely go round 1. I am curious if this will be one of the drafts with the most number of total QBs drafted.

I think you nailed it with that list. There’s not a ton of depth in any other area.

QBs - Weak class

WRs - Weak at WR1

TE - Average class

DE - Weak class

LB (OLB and ILB) - Top heavy with little depth

CB - Weak class

S - Top heavy with little depth

If history is any indicator, we can assume that teams will overdraft those weaker positions due to the fear of “losing out”. Basically, it will probably mean that we’ll have the pick of the litter at OT, OG, and DT because the decent LBs, WRs, and Safeties will be gone coupled with at least 3 (if not 4) QBs taken in the top 18.

You think the CB class is weak?
