We are weak at TE. Call it thin. Gronk is the best in the business but let's not bet on him for 16 games. We also see that the Pats are sniffing for a experienced back up QB, and are either dangling Mallett......... or not at this point.
Now the catalysis for this discussion. Cowboys fans have been lamenting a few items. The defensive weakness especially with the loss of Sean Lee for the season, Tony Romo's ongoing health issues and as he is nearing 35 years old, where is the successor?......and weather or not to get the most value out of TE Jason Witten who in now 32. Prior to the draft, some guru's questioned a trade as a possibility. Rumors have been started about trades on Witten who might a want SB shot and not want to be part of a rebuild.
Food for thought. We have to give up something substantial, Can we live without Hightower? Yea I know...... First round type guy.
Blockbuster:
Mallett (Jones likes those Arkansas guys) and Hightower plus we might have to throw another defensive player to help,...how about another Arkansas guy we can't get on the field like DE Jake Bequette who might flourish there, for QB Brandon Weedon and Witten. Too much? Too little?
Positives:
Pats: Witten as insurance for Gronk and still plays at a high level. Both together would be unstoppable. Weedon has NFL starts. I think with Mayo, Collins and Anderson (even #50 Nink) we can fill that void.
Boys: Mallett would actually get playing time because Romo will not play all sixteen and that is almost certain. Mallett might be the strong arm the Boys need for guys like Dez Bryant (not Weedon). Mallett is not going to get any better behind Brady and the Pats just picked up a QB JG in the Draft. The Boys are desperate for defensive help. We are giving up three young guys for two vets but the reward can be outstanding.
