Kiper: Midseason NFL draft preview....
Midseason NFL draft preview
If every NFL team could draft a player tomorrow, how would it line up? Mel Kiper Jr. ESPN Insider Sunday Night Football represented essentially the halfway point of the NFL season. And at this stage, personnel folks for NFL teams are quite aware of where the biggest voids on the roster exist. They've seen plenty of reps against good and bad competition, and injuries have allowed them to go deeper into the roster for help. So while the scouting process is a perpetual one, at this point you can start to get a better sense of what you'll need to look at in the offseason. So let's take a first look, as if the NFL draft were being held tomorrow. The draft portion of this is mostly for fun -- all juniors mentioned here aren't even guaranteed of being in the draft -- but we'll put a name in for each team just to get you more familiar with some of the top prospects in my rankings. The ever-important parameters: • Having spoken to folks from a number of teams and evaluated the teams, I'll take a look at some emerging needs. • I'll suggest a prospect who could fill a void if the draft were held tomorrow -- these are not based on value or draft position, just a good fit. • Because "picks" are more about need, a few top prospects are passed over. Again, the draft element here is just for an introduction to prospects, because for all teams, the draft board is a long, long way from complete -- just like mine. But here's to getting way ahead of ourselves … Dallas Cowboys Top emerging needs: G/C, S, OLB Analysis: Tony Romo has been off far too often this season, but the Cowboys are right to shoot down any idea they should replace him. His track record shows he's capable of playing at an elite level, and you hang onto that kind of player. Romo's biggest problems are right in front of him, where the Cowboys have not been good enough on the offensive line. Tyron Smith is going to work out, but Doug Free is a problem and the interior needs help, as well. Elsewhere, the upgrades at cornerback need to continue at safety, and if Anthony Spencer isn't back, outside linebacker is a target. Drafting tomorrow: Dallas Thomas, OT/G, Tennessee Rest of NFL: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story...ble-selections - We'll settle this with a good dust up.

I like the pick, don't think it would happen but Thomas can play OG or RT day one.
Just depends on who is there when we pick and where we are picking. I wouldn't mind this pick if its in a trade back to stock pile other picks if all the top players are gone. |

In case anyone's wondering about the rest of the division, his hairness has the Giants selecting Dion Jordan DE Oregon, the Eagles taking fast rising OT Taylor Lewan from Michigan and the Redskins drafting Jonathan Cooper OT/G North Carolina.
Kinda shows how poor the OL play is in the division right now. - We'll settle this with a good dust up.

I'm liking Chance Warmack, but Dallas Thomas would be a nice pick as well.

I would like to get him in the 2nd round. Mid-1st where the Cowboys appear to be headed seems a little high. I think he could play OT in the NFL, but he is a better OG, IMO. |

Drafting a Tackle would be the only way I'd be happy selecting a OL in the first. This is going to be a very important draft and offseason(in regard to FA).

I recognize the need, but unless its Barett Jones I don't want an interrior lineman in the 1st round. There just aren't any can't miss OG's in this draft that warrant a 1st round pick. 2nd round, yes we can look at a few guys, but I don't see guys like Thomas or Womack coming in here and making a huge difference.

I just do not see Dallas winning a Super Bowl with Romo as QB.
The drafting a young QB creates an atmosphere of hope and enthusiasm for the future. The standard should be winning Super Bowls. Eventually, a franchise-type QB must emerge ~ drafting one would be prudent. |
