Cowboys' Draft Dilemma: Need vs. Best Player

0:00On April 14th, Dallas Cowboys heading into the NFL draft with two first round picks and everyone's buzzing about their defensive holes that need. Filling fast. The big question is whether they stick to grabbing defenders or go best player available, no matter the side of the ball. Over the offseason, folks have pointed out pass-lips when the Cowboys draft it purely for need, like with Mazzie Smith and Luke Schoonmaker, and it. Didn't pan out great that history makes teams think twice about forcing fits. Drew Fabianic, a former Cowboys scout and senior Bull exec, weighed in recently, saying the smart move is taking the top guy on the board especially. If he plugs the gap, he sees it as the best of both worlds when it lines up. Back in 2020, they snag wide-out CD-LAM at pick 17 even though they needed a defensive end, passing on one three spots later. That flexibility paid off big time. With two shots in round one, the Cowboys got options to mix needs and talent, staying ready for whatever the board drops since drafts they wild till.

1:02The end.
