Jerrah doesn't bring in outside talent. If he didn't draft 'em, they must not be good.

he GM’d three world championships.  I think you should have more respect for his ability to evaluate players.

I'm not terribly opposed to their direction in free agency so far. They are very unlikely to make a blockbuster move that would take up another massive contract. They are shoring up depth guys that can challenge as potential starters, and they are getting younger. We all like to dream about getting a known big-time player, but that probably isn't the greatest a plan with a team like the Cowboys stage with a lot of holes to fill. They still could ad a guy you've heard of that's pretty good to generate a bit of excitement.

They seem to love former high drafted picks that were disappointing, but not un-useful. They picked up younger guys with starting experience and some versatility in the trenches, that may still have upside. I like the philosophy there. I think there are some differences in what types of players the new coaches prefer in letting some FAs leave.

Keeping both Osa and Gholston was improbable, but they kept the best one. I think they want a different type of player in the DT mix. There are quite a few bigs out there that have been somewhat surprising cuts after some teams have already addressed positions, where the Cowboys might be more tempted at perhaps a better number.

I think the Cowboys will sign a WR, but probably after the dust starts to settle and find a better value for a guy that will be a good addition for a couple of years while they break in some new talent. 

I wish they hadn't been in a hurry to re-sign Turpin, really a luxury player who rarely makes much of a difference other than a couple of plays a year. I would rather have seen another team bite on the 2nd round compensation, which was a longshot anyway. At best, he may be good trade bait before the deadline if they season stinks. I'd rather have the pick and younger talent on a rookie contract than an inconsistent aging part-timer that occasionally has a splash play. 

There's still a big chunk of free agency left. I'd rather get a few good players than one shiny big money star that's probably going to go to waste on this Cowboys team that doesn't seem that close to being a legit contender, but maybe could be another year from now if we're really lucky.

They will probably take a RB in the top 3 rounds. 

I'm looking forward to getting something good with pick 12. Then we'll see how it feels.
