Believe it or not, the offense was decent last year when the OL was doing its job and we upgraded it.  The offense is not why people here are seeking shelter. 

I am excited about the offense, and I am excited about the OL if we can get something done at C.  WR?  We are much better than last year--our #3 WR now was our #2.   While I think we should have found "that guy" in the draft at WR, it could be simply that our projections are DT, CB, LB.  in the first three rounds.  I swear, it sure smells like Simmons, CB in the second, and a third-round DT to me.  If Marty is in charge, expect him to use that fifth rounder to move up at some point---and if he does not trade back in the first, he should be fired before round 2.  Pretty sure I am off topic by now.

It's not about this season, although I believe we will be more competitive than many believe.  These short term contracts are allowing us to build a core through the draft. In a couple years we will be big players in FA and make our run.

The draft is key.  Marty can take a bow for making first round layups, but his trades and picks on day 2 have been terrible. 

Why is it important to draft well?

1. You have more first year contracts, allowing you to keep core veterans,

2.  Keeping core veterans is important because you know what you are getting in your system.  A free agent is like going to Vegas.

3. By finding better players in the late rounds, your role players get better.  Stars my fill the seats, but the better your role players, the better your special teams and the more resilient you are if an injury occurs.  In addition, competition makes everyone better.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
