We Got Our Guy and I'm Feeling Right About It
Now listen, I just finished my brisket plate down at Pecan Lodge, and the smoke is still hanging in the air, just like the anticipation in this town. The Dallas Cowboys went and did it, folks. We got our man. This wasn't some flashy, reach-for-the-stars pick in the first round that leaves you scratching your head while Jerry tries to explain it away. No, this felt *right*. This felt like a football pick, a pick that makes you think, "Okay, maybe this year, the star shines a little brighter." The mood in Dallas, well, it's a mix. There are always folks on Commerce Street ready to grumble, but I tell you what, there's a hum of cautious optimism I haven't heard in a while.
The Cowboys addressed some real needs, not just with our first pick, but throughout the whole darn draft. You know how I feel about protecting our quarterback, and we certainly bolstered that line, putting some real beef up front. Then, to grab a playmaker on defense, a guy who can get after the ball and make some noise? That’s what we’ve been needing for years, someone to really light a fire under that defensive unit. These new guys, they ain't just filling holes; they're bringing a new kind of energy, a grit that the Dallas Cowboys have been missing when it matters most, come January.
* First-round pick: Offensive Lineman * Second-round pick: Defensive Back * Mid-round picks: Linebacker, Running Back
Grade the class? Hopeful. Star up, Dallas — we ride.
Catch all the early morning chatter with the crew; they'll be chewing on this like a good steak over at mornings.live.
