heck yes! With the Sanders/Dowdle trade and Mingo, Morgan has already screwed the cowboys so much that our marketing team is working on a video called "Danny Does Dallas"! -
If that’s how the first 7 go then they’re taking McMillan at 8 -
Another reason for my liking Membou, besides the fact that Moton's knee is suspect (did not play the entire season last year), he is getting old, and he will be on the last year of his contract: The QB market is loaded next year. Not only does drafting Membou make you younger and saves about $24m per year in RT expenses (in 2026), it would give you a solid line should we have to replace Bryce. Young had nine nice games, but if he requires a $100m OL to be productive and will ask for $60m, that is more than half the cap at 6 positions--not including TE, WR, and RB. Yikes. So we will not be able to re-sign Moton regardless; we will extend Ekwonu and probably give him $35m per. But lets say Bryce does not show us enough in 2025 to give us confidence moving forward. If you draft the RT NOW, you have a solid OL for a new QB to play behind. Note how the other teams like New England have been scrounging around for a T--if you don't get one early in the draft, you don't get one. Is Christensen (on a 1-year deal) the answer? He will want vet starting money and he'd be a downgrade. We'd have to choose between drafting a QB in the best QB draft in history or drafting the RT. Of course, we take the QB and have a glaring need at RT. This might get that QB injured. Even if Bryce works out, we still need to cut our OL costs in half. So looking beyond 2025, I see the value in taking the less glamourous best player available. We know we are losing Moton--if his knee gives out before 2026, we'd have depth. If it does not, we have options, such as trade Moton to a team with a desperate need at T.
