Well another big football day is less than a week away and is one of the only potentially positive moments in most Cowboys fans' season. JJ is a complete disgrace as a GM. He learned nothing from the great JJ - Jimmy Johnson. You build a team with great lines (on both sides of the ball) and solid QB play. If Jimmy was drafting this year, I have no doubt he'd spend at least 7 of their 11 draft picks on defensive and offensive linemen, especially pass rushers (DT - A. Donald or LB/DE A. Barr top the list at the #16 position overall). If those two are gone, which I expect they will be, then I think they need to look at some of those elite offensive linemen that might fall to them - OT T. Lewan (Mich) or OT Z. Martin (ND). If none of the other linemen drop, who are expected to go earlier, then I'd say trade down and get some extra 2nd/3rd round picks this year or next. If nobody wants to trade up, then go ahead and take one of those top two elite safeties - Ha Ha Dix or C. Pryor. Dallas hasn't had a great safety since D. Woodson (my favorite player ever) and they haven't had a #1 defense since Woodson was on the team. They've already got a decent young strong safety who's a good hitter in B. Church, but they need an intelligent guy who can make the coverage calls and also play great coverage against those speedy WR's who stretch the field. Dallas' defense was the worst ever in team history in 2012 and they actually got worse in 2013! Defense should be the focus of the draft, with pass rushers and an upper tier safety at the top of the list. However, you can never go wrong drafting young offensive linemen either, as the Cowboys throw the ball more than anyone else and Romo (coming off his 2nd back surgery in 2 years) has been running for his life for the last 5-6 years. The last two offensive linemen Dallas drafted in the first round (Tackle T. Smith and Center T. Frederick) have been stellar so far. The other 3 starters on Dallas' O-line are average to shitty. Offensive line is a major need too. You win championships with a great pass rush or a dominating offensive line IMO. Dallas is severely lacking in both areas. I would also love to see Dallas get a good QB in the 3rd or 4th round to be the QB of the future - I personally love A. Murray from Georgia.
But of course, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Jerruh draft some WR or CB with a big name in the first round... or even worse, he'll trade up and give multiple top round picks to get boom/bust QB J. Manziel (more likely to be a bust IMO) or some other "skill position" player, instead of just staying where you're at and fortifying your trenches with talent and depth. Fuck I hate Jerry Jones.
