People, we have some truly promising drafts coming up, courtesy of one Mr. Rikki Rikki Deadly.  I can only assume that the soothing hum of near constant vacuuming has something to do with triggering brain activity that leads to mock draft topics. Or murder, but I'm going to lean into the

(feature image is things I've also forgotten) Well, this is awkward.  Sort of dropped the ball on the whole "bye week" thing, and now the Cowboys are back to actually playing the games.  Well, what are ya gonna do, cut my pay?  Much like Michael Irvin with a pair of scissors,
