Cowboys Mailbag:Due to the events that took place in Sunday's game, what good does it do the Cowboys

The Rangers are the reigning World Series champs and the Mavericks and Stars are now streaking into the second round of the playoffs. Does the success of other teams in the Dallas area affect the Cowboys in any way, good or bad?

With the Cooper Beebe pick, would you still consider moving Tyler Smith to left tackle and playing Beebe at left guard? I feel Tyler Guyton is too raw to throw in at left tackle, but may be an upgrade at right tackle? 

Do you agree the Cowboys really need to hit on at least four of their eight picks? When I say "hit", I mean guys who are going to make a positive impact right out of the gate. If so, who?

Which draft pick are you the most excited about? Which was most surprising to you? And which pick to you was the most disappointing given that another player was available?

I was completely shocked the Cowboys did not select at least one running back in the draft. And I just don't see Ezekiel Elliott being the No. 1 back. Does the organization just not value the running back position anymore? 

The Cowboys did well to trade down and get a third-round pick and also draft a good offensive tackle. Some have said that it may take time to get Tyler Guyton ready to start on opening day. Do you think so?

If Dallas gets on the clock in either the first or second round and the best player on the board at that time is a quarterback, should they draft the QB or fill a more relevant position of need? 

Do you think the Cowboys might consider selecting a defensive tackle or edge rusher if someone very high on their board is still there?

Given the many holes the Cowboys need to fill on the roster, do you think the team needs to trade down in the draft to get extra picks? 

There is an old adage that games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage. If that is true (and I believe it is) then why not invest more resources on the lines verses the skill players? 

The Cowboys have historically done a good enough job in free agency that they could draft the best player available. Obviously, this year is different. Will the team's needs this time outweigh the opportunity to draft the best available player? 

Why the hesitancy from the Cowboys in negotiating new contracts with their star players? Is the team trying to play hardball by waiting to extend them?
