What is our biggest position of need?

As of now? It's pretty hard to tell. The biggest question to me is DT, will one of these two rookies that we spent 3rds on pan out (consistent starter quality play)? Another big ? is Gettis...will he still be the upcoming stud he was after a year of no play for someone who only had a year to begin with? Smitty is getting older and if no one else steps up WR is going to be a HUGE issue with our new stud QB. Then comes the DBs...Gamble and Captain are enough to win games. Depth is the huge concern here, mainly because of health issues. If Gamble starts to go downhill CB will be a bigger hole than DT and it isn't smart to rely on one guy like that. Then there is the gigantic OLB hole left by Davis....

Way too little info to really know just yet but I understand you're just looking for a discussion :). If today were the day to draft it'd be DT, WR, LB or CB. That's my 2 cents, but first couple picks should be best talent at one of those rather than strictly need.

Replacement for Smitty, a true #1. Unless we're going to let Greg Olsen take that role ala Wesley Walls.

There's Cornerback, somewhat, it's glaring at times.

Defensive Tackle, Need Run stoppage and Pressure through the middle.

Offensive Tackle, IF Otah doesn't finish this year out. I'm sorry, you've been hurt for most of your career.

Linebacker, Thomas Davis isn't coming back from this. I wish he would but it's the 3rd time...

All hinges on gettis, if he comes back and isnt the same, then WR is my num 1. I think dt, cb and olb are cobbled together. I think with the 2 dts we have, in combo with ron edwards will be a solid rotation, our cbs are good for now, I think butler and hogan have the potential to be starters. Olb is a need but in terms of the impact olb has, its one of the lesser positions on def in terms of importance of having a star.

Also looking to the future, with otahs injury issues amd jordan gross not getting any younger, tackles have to be a need in the near future.

      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.
