Texas_OutLaw7 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It's wild to me that Jerry knew Steele was the guy, MM pushed back and thought it would by Ty until the injury. Steele has been great. Blown past my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of his versatility, he would’ve added another layer to this offense that it didn’t have. That said, everyone said that he was a luxury, not a necessity, which is why virtually no one supported trading up for him. Pitts was not a need though when you already have a pretty good tightend in Schulz. Even without Gallup offense looks great as Dak has so many weapons. Slater was the guy I wanted when it was Dallas turn to pick as I was not sure Smith can stay healthy. I was not pissed about the Parsons pick as I knew he was a freak athlete. I had no clue though he could rush the passer like this. Kid is special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I said that he was a luxury and not a necessity. And seeing that I refuse to draft for need and believe that you take the BPA regardless of position, I would’ve taken Pitts had he slid that far. You never allow a team to get better at your expense.

Yes if Pitts falls that far you take him as he’s the best player on board but everyone knew he was not falling that far. I’m pretty sure the Cowboys didn’t even know Parsons was this good otherwise they would not have traded back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, like I said, very few people on this board were willing to trade up for Pitts because it would’ve been a terrible idea given how awful our defense was. Further, I have yet to see a TE be someone who completely changes/revolutionizes an offense. They add a hell of a lot of value when used properly, but the position itself is not a franchise changing position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While a player like Parsons can have a more immediate impact. So what is it you really want. For instance right now Schultz has more receptions then Pitts. Sure Pitts is a better TE but just how much would he have helped over the next couple years tell he matures into his elite status over what we already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts4313 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Rank 2 6 Dak Prescott Dallas Cowboys · Year 6 2021 stats: 3 games | 77.5 pct | 878 pass yds | 7.9 ypa | 6 pass TD | 2 INT | 19 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 4 fumbles He's in total control. Forcing this Dallas offense to punt has been an uphill climb for three straight weeks, with Dak the master of all he surveys. The Cowboys have shown versatility while playing three types of games, adapting well with a veteran offense boasting explosive talent and rare continuity. Listening to Peyton and Eli on Monday night, you heard the honest appreciation of kindred spirits recognizing another pre-snap legend.

Before that, Sean Lee (Oct. 2013 and Sept. 2011). Interestingly, we didn't win it a single time in the 2000s. Ware only got it as a member of the Broncos (Sept. 2015). Kinda hard to believe.
