My point is, the OL NEEDS to be addressed! I think we’re in the territory of there being a very real chance of cutting ties with Tyron. He simply can’t stay healthy, will turn 32 next yr and a post 6/1 cut nearly takes Dallas out of the red cap wise for ‘22. Maybe Steele can hold down the fort, but the potential is definitely there for a glaring hole on left side of OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we get someone who can be the Future at LT and play LG for a bit - great. If not LT will likely be a secondary need to LG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Steele can hold down the fort, but the potential is definitely there for a glaring hole on left side of OL. Tyron Smith was the 2nd highest rated OT by PFF for 2021, but the 22nd highest paid. I certainly get that playing the injury shuffle game is frustrating. But if Tyron still wants to play football, I see zero reason to paint ourselves into a corner on this one. Even when he misses time with injury, he is easily pulling his salary weight. And replacing him is going to be far easier said than done at the bottom of round 1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m also not forcing it. If they have to, they can role out next season with Tyron, McGovern, Biadasz, Martin, and La’El (with Steele as the swing tackle), and that’s a league average OL at worst. Give me someone who can be a real stud in the long run, and I’m in. But we don’t need to add jags to the OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 That last injury for Tyron was kind of a freak play with CW(I think) rolling him up. The back injury thing is certainly nagging but that last injury could have happened to anybody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, the OL NEEDS to be addressed! I fully agree that o-line should be addressed. If you know anything about me, then you know that I’ll never turn down o-line or d-line. Hell, I’ve said this statement for many, many years: Offensive line. Defensive line. Early. Often. Annually. But, you never force a selection to fill a need. That said, if the value between two players is relatively equal at our spot and one happens to be o-line, then I’d go with the need rather than something else. But in general, I never believe in drafting for need because it rarely (if ever) works out. Edited January 12, 2022 by plan9misfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OL imo is the number 1 priority. however, if a stud falls to the boys, i'm ok with selecting them. I also agree if it's close between several guys, side with the OL. I'm NEVER a fan of overreaching like the Boys did with Shante Carver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 My initial impression of Devin Lloyd is that he’s a really good linebacker, but not massively better than the 2nd rounders of recent past. And not the versatile alien like Nakobe Dean. I watched him because there seems to be an early consensus that Dean/Lloyd would be roughly equivalent fits for Dallas. I don’t see it yet. Dean by a mile, for me. If you pick Lloyd in the late-20s, I wouldn’t be thrilled, but not too angry, either. If he winds up falling like JOK or Nick Bolton? Run it to the podium.

TVScout Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We will probably and up with the #24 pick. What can we get with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they start playing smart physical football and not take constant dumb penalties the results will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atran35 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Don't want to reach but LG will be a factor. Conor Williams should be gone. Conor McGovern tried but went back to the bench. Unless you guys want to move Collin to LG and Steele to RT. Then draft a T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
