My first post-LA mock draft using the Fanspeak simulator NFL Mock Big Board:

59: R2P27
OT ISAIAH PRINCE
OHIO STATE
While I normally hate drafting backups this early, if you want a OT, and one that might have a chance to play at LT then you have to do what you have to do.

90: R3P26
TE IRV SMITH JR.
ALABAMA
I think when its all said and done he is drafted a round earlier but I saw a lot of depth at TE in the second and third round so if we want to draft one, they will be available. Irv Smith Jr, 2nd generation NFL TE, is the perfect mix of blocker and down field threat that we want in Dallas. This pretty much ends the Rico experiment.

129: R4P27
DL JAVON KINLAW
SOUTH CAROLINA
I need to see this guy on tape but The Draft Network loved him and his athleticism. He fits the twinner 3-tech we like but I think will be able to play the run too.

136: R4P34
WR HUNTER RENFROW
CLEMSON
I told you I wanted this guy so you know I was going to snag him if I had the chance. Sick route runner with off the chart hands...bye bye Beasley and Austin, unless you want to keep Austin for his KR skills.

166: R5P27
S ANTOINE BROOKS JR.
MARYLAND
Another guy the Draft Network love...he is a rover safety that many college teams, including ours, use as that third safety/slot safety type. He can cover and still play in the box and has the size to pull both off.

243: R7P27
DL IRA LEWIS
BAYLOR
We all know him and before you guys say I went homer, I did again consult The Draft Network and here is what was the clincher for me "As a one-tech is a decent pass rusher who generates initial interior penetration but loses that productivity as he moves outside."

Lololol. Bearforce. You love the boys.

I dont own anyone's jersey.

But yeah, Beasley will be 30, seems to be losing a step, and doesn't nothing for you in the return game. You can keep Austin and get more roster value than keeping Beasley.

Austin is a B version of Beazley. I would pay more to keep Beaz if I had to choose between the two.

Beaz is a proven commodity. Austin is an unproven potential

Austin will be cheaper and contributes in more ways.

Of course we could have kept Switzer and made this whole discussion moot.

We could just keep Beasley just because he's a decent rapper

Austin hasnt proven a lot to me. Dak doesnt seem to be comfortable with him either which worries me. And I still dont know what was behind the Switzer deal. Seemed to have a much higher upside then the DT that last about two minutes here. But thats water under the bridge

Which to be honest is why I would rather draft a WR3...Austin is injury prone and Beasley is losing to father time.

Wouldnt be a bad thing. Would have liked Noah Brown to step up but he seems to either have hands of stone at the wrong times - or brain farts.

glad they got Colombo back as OL coach. the guys respond to him.

So....who are gonna get?

I would like to steal Eric Bienmey from KC personally but I think KC can block it since he technically is the OC there now.

briles is busy trying to win in Italy, Id take Bienmy or hell Id take Wisenhunt

Broadus and Spags mentioned Doug Nussmeier . He's our TE coach. Speculating he would be the named coach and Garret would call plays.

Coaches are at Senior Bowl, Garrett at ProBowl, maybe to meet with more prospects?

from last year when he was hired

I would think Sanjay Lal would get a looksee too. Did a solid job bringing long Gallup this year and implementing Cooper

There's only one and he has a son.

Cowboys signed WR Devin Smith to a reserve/futures contract. Smith spent last year out of the league and hasn't played a game since tearing his ACL in 2017. A second-round pick in 2015, the former Jet faces an uphill battle to crack the Cowboys' 53-man roster.

Cowboys DT Antwaun Woods is recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum. Woods suffered the injury in the Cowboys' Divisional Round loss to the Rams, apparently playing through the ailment for much of the contest. It's a fairly serious operation, one that can come with a lengthy rehab timeline. Woods should be considered questionable for the start of training camp. A third-year UDFA in 2018, Woods made the first 15 starts of his NFL career, earning neutral marks from Pro Football Focus.

This is so sad. I don't see him continuing his career with us.

Total stud

Hello Bearforce

Hi

Important to note that briles has never been a coordinator at any level
