I still like Laviska, Treadwell, and Agnew.    Do they keep 7 WRs?  If they keep only 6, who is the odd man out?  Probably Laviska since his skill set is redundant with Kirk (and maybe Moore from my example)?  Or if you cut Agnew, who takes over return duties?  Of the traded and free agent WRs, Cooper was the one I really wanted.  He's a true #1 and his cost in dollars and picks would not have broken the bank.  Apparently, the Cowboys accommodated his wishes to some extent.  And the reporting was that Baalke was being a cheapskate about taking on the entire salary.  That's really the main ding in free agency on the front office this time.  Other than that one transaction, I don't see how it could have gone much better. I'm cautiously optimistic about the draft because of Pederson's influence.

And to your other point, yes there could have been a middle ground between 0 new starters and 12-13 new starters.  I'm sorry I didn't write clearly about that.  If we had gotten only 4 or 5, I would regard that as disappointing and ineffectual.  We needed (and need) good churn for at least one more off season.
