“If you want to turn around and draft a quarterback, you want to use a first-round pick on a quarterback, when you might have a new coach who comes in a year from now and says, ‘I don’t really like that guy,’ what kind of sense does that make? Okay, it makes none,” asserts Dave Helman on the latest episode of SPEAK.

The potential QB curveball is just one part of the chaos engulfing the Cowboys as they approach the 2024 draft. With head coach Mike McCarthy’s job security very much in question after that demoralizing playoff beatdown at the hands of Jordan Love’s Packers, drafting a new signal-caller could be yet another head-scratching move in an offseason already filled with turmoil.

Helman’s quote lays bare the utter confusion surrounding the Cowboys’ plans, with Jones’ motivations seemingly at odds with any coherent long-term strategy. “Why is Mike McCarthy still your head coach or why doesn’t he have an extension?” Helman ponders, giving voice to the doubts swirling amongst the fan base.

But just when you thought the situation couldn’t get any more muddled, Jerry doubles down on the mayhem. Amidst the coaching chaos and QB quandary, the billionaire owner faces another personnel crisis that could completely reshape the Cowboys’ future.

Is Jerry Jones a wild genius or getting ready for a crash?

As if the quarterback conundrum and coaching chaos weren’t enough to keep Cowboys fans tossing and turning at night, Jerry Jones is staring down another personnel crisis that could completely reshape the franchise’s future. With key offensive linemen like Tyron Smith and Tyler Biadasz departing in free agency, the trenches are looking mighty thin in Dallas. But instead of using premium draft capital to re-fortify the fallen O-line, rumblings suggest Jones may have his sights set elsewhere.

“They need a wide receiver three not one nor two…they need a running back…they need a left tackle or a guard,” rattles off ACKO, listing the gaping holes across the Cowboys’ roster. With so many needs to address, drafting a luxury QB pick could be the ultimate self-inflicted wound for a team that prides itself on controlling the line of scrimmage.

As the draft day chaos approaches, it’s becoming painfully clear that Jerry’s leadership is under more scrutiny than ever before. From the quarterback quagmire to the offensive line exodus, every move (or non-move) is being dissected like game film. With success eluding the Cowboys for nearly three decades now, the clock is ticking for the once-unassailable Jones to get this twin-headed monster of a draft right. One wrong audible, and Big D could be staring down another long winter of discontent.
