    It was already out a couple of months ago the MNF talked to Witten..at the time he said no...he changed his mind in last 48 hours

    Or he lied to the press because he intended on retiring on 15th year anniversary of him being drafted.

    I dont think they even need to replace Witten's snaps. This is a good opportunity to chsnge up the stale offense and go more Switzer and Beasley spreading it out and letting the OL and Zeke work against 6 man boxes. 

    Of course that's what a competent coach would do. Who knows about this coach. 

    Could create an opening for a H back type of player like Jaylon Samuels from NC State.

    We have a lot of holes to fill on the offense now. OL, TE, WR... 

    If you are going after a lineman that you expect to play year one, I think you pretty much have to take one at 50.

    You can probably get Jordan Jenkins in the 6th round which takes care of TE.

    4th-5th we need to grab either Hines, Wadley or Smith at RB

    I like throwing a 5th or 6th at Callaway and that covers WR. 

    That leaves a 3rd and one 4th to cover Safety and DL.

    It’s done just the opposite, now teams know dallas is desperate for a TE. If they had waited everyone would think they going after a WR or DT early.

    So you'd think they are less likely to take WR or DT now?  Kind of proving my point.

    it could impact the earl thomas trade big time

    Given how close Witten was with Garrett and Jerry, I seriously doubt this news is taking them off guard.  They knew.

    On the bright side, they timed this so that now teams are less certain about the guys Dallas will target.  Witten retiring exactly 15 years from his original draft date was not a coincidence.

    Here's a list of the Dallas targets left for day 2

    really hoping one of the guys in blue fall down to us, but I'd also be pretty happy with Sutton if all the guys in blue are taken.

    Considering where we are picking, Arden Key could be a real possibility.  I'm not sure they draft another end this year though and might just give one more shot to the guys they currently have.

    The one guy that could be a big impact guy that gets next to no love is Harrison Phillips out of Stanford.  Guy is strong as fuck (42 reps at 225) and made 98 tackles this year flexing between Nose and the 1/3 that Stanford plays.  He also has 14.5 sacks over the past two years (7 and 7.5) along with 27 tackles for loss.  He also plays with technique so he'd be ready to play day 1.

    What about Dallas? LVE is a fine pick. Maybe they could have moved up when James was falling, but I thought they were going to take a WR in a draft with no elite WR prospect when their defense has needs all over the place.

    Apparently there is a pretty big talent gap at LB in this draft. 

    If they don't get the guy they like in the second, they will probably go with Fountain (small school) or Callaway (major character concerns) in Round 5+.  I'd argue RB is probably a bigger need than WR as things stand today.

    Some teams are worried about his strength and getting off press.  He's not a big guy at all.   He's also older..... turns 24 at the end of this year.  Not saying those are valid reasons but they're I've read.

    By "some teams" you are most likely referring to the smoke being pumped by dallascowboys.com.  He's not a passive LB and a very capable blitzer.   He'll play either Mike or Sam.

    PFF is comparing him to Kuechly based on how he moves to the ball and finds ways around blockers.
