(Editor's Note: Time to check the mail! The DallasCowboys.com staff writers answer your questions here in 'Mailbag' presented by Miller Lite.)
Would you wager future picks and the future of the players currently on the team to bring in a new player?

Patrik: Hell yeah it is. The last thing the Cowboys should feel right now, in the training camp following a 30-year Super Bowl drought, is comfortable or that they've done enough. They have done a lot this offseason, more than in many of the recent offseasons, and it's been a fun ride. But are they injury-proof at every position? Do they have every question answered at every position?
The answer to both questions is no and, because that's the case, the answer to adding another impact player has to remain yes. There's a reason the front office keeps sending out the Bat Signal to let the other 31 teams know the Cowboys are open to send "a top pick" and that Dallas is willing to sell the future at the sake of right now.
