Joel Buschbaum rates Jones higher than even Konz. Says Jones is the best pure Center in the draft. But, he can't play guard. He's strictly a Center.

DL would be good value here. Winn or Thompson. Blake probably there in the 4th.

At 113 would make me

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

I was wondering the same thing. Is this the "virtual" Joel Buchsbaum?

The thing that made me do a 180 on Blake was Bryan Broaddus' scouting report. It wasn't flattering, imo. Let's hope the Cowboys like him, because a 4th round center could probably win the job in Dallas. Blake needs to play more physical for his size, but he is athletic and big. Obviously, I'd like to have him in Dallas.

Ben Jones isn't athletic enough, and I don't think he is the long-term answer.

If Dallas thinks Blake could give them 5 solid years of center play, they should jump on him in round 4.

I pray we can get Blake but I doubt he makes it to us.
