Question: I know the draft is months away, but the only positions that I would draft for are: Defensive End, Defensive Tackle, Cornerback and Safety, in that order. No other positions agree?
Bob Sturm: For me, DE, Safety, and then best difference maker regardless of position. LB, CB, DT, RB, or even QB. I now have a good foundation and need to keep adding difference makers. I am planning a thorough review of the prospects starting immediately.
Looks like they are getting the coaching staff signed to new contracts. I think it would have been a disaster if they had let Marinelli get away.
So did you see that they let DeMarco Murray go to the Eagles and signed McFadden to take his place?
Also seen Greg Hardy is negotiating with an "unknown" team for his services, wonder if it's with the Cowboys since they could use someone like him and might be willing to take a chance on him?
Knew about Murray yesterday as many here were in full lamenting mode:)
Yea but history shows very few RBs are any good after they turn 29, even the HOFers. So signing him to a long term deal would have not been a good thing, it would have just made the future salary cap issues even worse even more "dead money".
I have no doubt they will draft a RB somewhere around the 3rd round just in case McFadden can't run anymore, even behind the best line in the NFL.
Since his cap hit is only $2.5 million they just might try to find another D lineman via free agency, like BJ Raji maybe...
And since they signed Hardy this would let them draft a RB in the 1st round if a good one (like Todd Gurley) fell to them at 27. But I still think they should draft "D" players the first 2 rounds and then look for a RB in 3 or 4.
