Newy Scruggs, sports anchor at NBC5 in Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS-TV) and radio host weekly from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on NBC Sports Radio Sirius XM 213/202 and NBCSportsRadio.com, answered questions in a live chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights.

Question: Do you think it would have been a good idea for the Cowboys to trade up and get Paxton Lynch?

Scruggs: No. I like Lynch. His mom is a big time Cowboys fan. His parents met working at an El Chico restaurant in Lubbock. Giving up a second and third round pick for Lynch was too much in my opinion. If the Cowboys stink in 2016 then they can make a play for DeShaun Watson of Clemson in the 2017 draft. I'd give up picks for him.

Question: Do you think the Cowboys should have drafted a guy that could impact the team now with their second round pick rather than a boom or bust guy in Jaylon Smith?

Scruggs: If you watched Jaylon Smith play football at Notre Dame you can see why the Cowboys decided to roll the dice on him as a linebacker. He was just a playmaker and if he was healthy I think Smith would have been a top five pick and I would not have had any issues if they would have drafted a healthy Jaylon Smith over Zeke Elliott and I love the running back from Ohio State. The Cowboys team doctor performed the surgery on Smith so they have the inside intel and I like that in terms of taking a chance on Smith. The person who shouldn't like the pick is head coach Jason Garrett. If the Cowboys have a losing season he could lose his job and never get to see Smith play in 2017.

From a reader: Which player do you think has the best chance to bounce back next year? Mo Claiborne or Brandon Carr?

Scruggs: I think Carr is what he is. That is not being negative. Jerry Jones gave him a $50 million contract but he was never the #1 corner in Kansas City. He's not a $50 million dollar corner. Mo is younger and if he can stay healthy then maybe he can lift his play in 2016.
