Scenarios For Improvement - OffSeason Wishlist Part I

Let's delve into some interesting offseason moves that we believe will significantly improve the Cowboys.

The two main positions that need a bigtime upgrades are at QB and RB.
Now, if we decide to keep QC as the starter, then let's give him a big time running back.
If we don't stick with Carter, then we need to upgrade via the draft. Here are some scenarios we came up with - take a look.

(If we stay with Carter)Here's what the Cowboys should do in the offseason.

-Sign DE Grant Wistrom
-Sign WR Dennis Northcutt or WR Darrell Jackson

Now on draft day, Trade Dexter Coakley & our 22nd pick to Atlanta and move up to the #7 pick. (Jim Mora Jr is a defensive guy and would love to add Coakley)
Trade Galloway for a 3rd or 4th Rounder

With the #7 Pick draft the best back this year - Steven Jackson

2. CB Keiwan Ratliff - Florida Gators (address our CB needs)
3. OT Carlos Joseph - Miami (address the OT needs)
4. WR Keary Colbert - USC (add quality depth with a slot possession WR)
5. OG Sean Locklear - N.C. State (future Larry Allen replacement)


(If we decide NOT to stay with QC)Here's what the Cowboys should do in the offseason.

-Sign DE Grant Wistrom
-Sign WR Dennis Northcutt or WR Darrell Jackson

Trade Galloway and 4th Rounder to Bengals for Corey Dillon.
OR
Sign Duce Staley to a 3yr deal.

Now on draft day, Trade Dexter Coakley & our 22nd pick to Atlanta and move up to the #7 pick.(Jim Mora Jr is a defensive guy and would love to add Coakley).

With the #7 pick overall we draft the best QB available probably - Philip Rivers.

2. OT Max Starks - Florida or OT Tony Pape - Mich. (address the OT needs)
3. RB Greg Jones or RB Cedric Cobbs (Parcells 3rd RB gem & future)
4. -traded to Bengals for Dillon- or if we sign Staley then WR Keary Colbert - USC
5. OG Sean Locklear - N.C. State (future Larry Allen replacement)


Historically, Parcells has been known to be very active on Draft day in regards to moving up in the draft or adding picks. The two most likely players to be used for draft trade will probably be Dexter Coakley and Joey Galloway.

It may be somewhat far-fetched, but we should seriously look into moving up somewhere in the draft this year.
