Are OTAs overrated? They just might be for some of the veterans. As Nate tells us, training camp is when it counts, and when we’ll need to see George Pickens. Plus, the Cowboys have the same head coach, so why do things seem so much different this year? And what is this defense, and when will we know?

We’ve got some thoughts (and one concern) after viewing today’s OTA practice. Plus, there were a couple of big contracts handed out recently to wide receivers. What does that mean for George Pickens? And how about a Myles Garrett scrimmage?

Is it good the Cowboys drafted players that defensive coordinator Christian Parker wanted? Also, we know Caleb Downs is a day-one starter, but is Malachi Lawrence? He’s a first-round pick, after all. And has anything really changed regarding George Pickens?

Should the Cowboys take into consideration whether a player fits the defensive system? Should the coaches be able to develop that player no matter what? Or is it on the player himself to figure it out? Plus, could Dallas really trade up?

Why haven’t the Cowboys addressed linebacker yet? Should we be worried. Would bringing in a veteran like Bobby Wagner be wise instead of handing the reins over to a rookie? Plus, would Dallas dare draft an offensive player in the first round?

Owner Jerry Jones has talked about spending more money in free agency and that he’d “borrow some of my future.” But with some contracts having already been restructured is reworking even more the right thing to do? Plus, would the Cowboys prefer George Pickens stay in Dallas, or get two potential first-round picks if he signs elsewhere? Sounds like maybe a win/win for the team ...

New defensive coordinator Christian Parker was introduced to the media and count us impressed. Knowledgeable, personable, confident, he looks like the right man for the job. So what’s next?

The Cowboys can fix their defense … if they want to. That is, if the team is willing to spend in free agency. The hiring of Christian Parker showed a change in thinking. Will that trend continue in free agency? Or could lengthy negotiations with George Pickens again wreck the whole offseason plan? Because if the Cowboys don’t indeed do things different, things could get worse.
