00:00John, you know, when you look at the moves that they've made, they, they've clearly tried

00:19to replenish the defensive line as best they can. That's where a lot of their moves have

00:22been signing Osa, you know, make the moves for Solomon Thomas, Peyton Turner is the biggest

00:30glaring need still right now, though. Like, I mean, that is receiver, isn't it? And if

00:33that's the case, then why aren't the Cowboys working? It seems like on any sort of a contingency

00:39and just saying, you know what, we'll, we'll maybe figure this out in the draft or do some

00:42else. Do you think they have a defined plan of like, we know how we're going to attack

00:45that this, and that's why we're not jumping on these guys.

00:49I do, I do think they have a plan, but I don't think that they have like one or two

00:54clear needs to me. I think they have like three, four, five that they're like, you know,

00:59if you could add a cop or you add somebody else that like, okay, well that takes one

01:02of those out of the mix. Because right now, if you tell me that they're going on the clock

01:07in the next five minutes at number 12, running back still in play, wide receiver, corner,

01:13defensive tackle, offensive lineman, like all five of those, none of them would surprise

01:17me. And so I think that between now and that, and that first round, they got to fill at

01:23least one or two more of those to where you're like, no, they don't have to, they don't have

01:26to even consider that at 12. And frankly, if they don't, then I think the play has to

01:32be, I'm not saying move out of the top 20, but probably trade back if you can and gain

01:37some extra picks because while they have all these, you know, fifth, sixth, seventh, that's

01:42great now, but you need to add some other premium picks if you're going to be relying

01:46that heavily on the draft. And they could potentially do that, but I still haven't closed

01:50the door on the possibility of filling a couple of these holds by trading for some veterans.
