Quote:Because the Cowboys spent 3 first-round picks on the OL and had a surefire 1st-rounder go undrafted because of legal issues? They let those guys develop together for a few years and *then* went and got their guy at RB. Caldwell doesn't have the time to keep sucking for three more years hoping that any new OL draft picks/FAs develop/gel together so that Leonard could finally run behind a line that isn't garbage.

 

That is why I want to spend at least 2 high round picks on O-Lineman and an additional OT later in the draft as well as addressing the O-Line in free agency. I realize we need at least 2 OG's and a RT immediately and eventually we need to address LT as well, but I can live with Beachum for one more year. The OG's and replacing Parnell are the biggest problem areas right now. This is an extremely deep draft at OG/C. As I said before, Elflein, Feeney and Pocic are elite talents and there are a handful of other players who are very good pro prospects as well. Interior linemen normally don't get drafted very highly. I believe we could get very good starting caliber players in the 2 and 3rd rounds.

 

Ideally, I would prefer to trade down in round 1 though and address those areas in the late 1st/early 2nd where we could get the elite talent possibly a combination of Elflein and Feeney if we were truly lucky. Then we would address RB later in the draft with a runner like Royce Freeman or Kareem Hunt, but if we stick in the top 4, we must take the best available player and Fournette is the best player in the draft, in my opinion. Fixing the offense has to be a priority and that means halting this team from being one dimensional. We've had no running attack to speak of since MJD left and it has gotten progressively worse every year.
