Draft picks are their best option at this point. They remind me of the 1989 Cowboys, they are really terrible.

After cleaning house on a truckload of past-their-prime veterans (from Landry's last days), Jimmy drafted Troy (Aikman), Daryl Johnston, Mark Stepnoski and Tony Tolbert earlier that spring. He kept Bill Bates and Michael Irvin (who went down game 6 that season to a knee injury) and Herschel Walker (who was traded later that season). Other than that, the '89 team was pretty much void of talent worthy of NFL competetion.
This year's team has plenty of talent throughout it's roster, make no mistake about that. Had they (the Jones Boys) planned better in the off season (ie: starting running back, back up QB) this year's team would have a much better record (12 and 4 teams usually don't become "terrible" the following year. The Indy Colts a few years ago come to mind the season they lost Peyton to neck surgery but that's not the norm).
For your own edification, check the '89 season out once again......that team was blown out game after game. Other than the Pats and Panthers games, this team has been in in (albeit, their lack of offensive punch) for the most part.
