Again, just connecting the dots to Mayhew and Ansah. I personally would love to get Dante Fowler, Clelin Ferrell, Nick Bosa and Josh Allen over Ansah.

Fowler and Ferell I'm assuming we'll have too many wins for Bosa. Would a D-line of Ferell-Buckner-Thomas-Fowler be overkill? :

That would be so frickin sick!!! Dammit I want the off season to get here already!!!!

Naah, not overkill, sounds perfect! Let's add Earl Thomas to the backfield and then we can approach overkill territory
I think we really have no choice but to double down on ER this offseason and go with a Fowler and 1st pick combo. At the very least getting Fowler will allow us not to be desperate with our 1st if value isn't on the board. If we don't get a starting caliber ER in FA then we will have no choice but to go all in on ER in the 1st which unless we are picking 1st overall there is no promise that the value will be there.
With the luck we have had with injuries we have to double down on pass rushers. One in free agency and one with our top five pick in the draft. Then we can focus on whatever else we did not get in free agency like a guard or corner or wide receiver

Yeah, I'm thinking if we signed Thomas, Fowler, and a quality guard, that would be enough for me in free agency. Then take an edge rusher and corner with picks 1 and 2 in the draft.

I think addressing ER and FA fixes the CB issues
we should go after him - but can we pay him and a top tier FA edge rusher too?

Yes, but it's highly unlikely a top-tier edge rusher hits free agency.

That's where you are wrong.

Hoping Earl wants to stick it to the Seahawks more than he wants to play for Dallas. Getting him would be great. Another vet presence and perfect fit for the scheme.

I agree but I would take out a guard in free agency and replace that with another pass rusher like Fowler. Because even if we get a rookie edge rusher if he gets injured we're back to where we are so we need to double down. Plus our guards have played very well this year so the upgrade isn't as urgent as pass rush

Also if we let go of Armstead and Ward and garçon we might be able to get a guard as well Also if we let go of Armstead and Ward and garçon we might be able to get a guard as well

And maybe another veteran CB. A vet CB and pass rusher are more pressing than another guard. Take a guard in the 4th or 5th round and develop him.

Exactly what I'm thinking
