We trade down in the 1st and add a 2nd. We trade down in the 2nd and add a 3rd. We trade down in the 4th and add a 5th.

I like the trades.
1 - OG Barrett Jones - Alabama
I would prefer Jonathan Cooper, especially in Callahan's Zone Blocking Scheme. Cooper is as strong as Jones but has much much better quickness/athleticism. Cooper can play center also. Rumors are that Jones' arms are too short to project to OT in the NFL.
2 - DT Jesse Williams - Alabama
They will only carry 2 NTs and I'm happy with Rat and Brent. Williams played 3-4 DE last year, but I'd prefer one of those long (tall with long arms) guys at DE.
If Dion Jordon falls to the 2nd, I'd try to trade up to get him around #33. If not, this might be a more realistic spot for one of your projected 3rd rounders.
Maybe even consider a WR like Tavon Austin or a RB.
2 - SS Robert Lester - Alabama
The 2nd round appears to be a good place for Safeties in this draft.
Too bad Shamarko Thomas isn't a little taller. He is fast and nasty.
3 - DE Ezekial Ansah - BYU
I would love to get this guy in the 3rd. At 6-6, 270, I project him to 3-4 DE for the Cowboys not OLB. He is the long type of DE prospect I referred to earlier.
3 - C Khaled Holmes - USC
I would love to get this player in the 3rd also. I've studied him quite a bit. He's very strong and athletic. Despite reports to the contrary, I thought he was impressive against Lotulelei. He blocked him multiple times one-on-one.
4 - FB Trey Millard - OU
Maybe. I'm undecided about Vickers ability at this point.
5 - OT Lane Johnson - OU
Good, unless Brennan Williams falls to this spot due to injury.
5 - OLB Quanterus Smith - Western Kentucky
Excellent pick here if available. He appears to have the solid build needed at SOLB. I have questions about some the the high rated pass rushers ability to man the Strong Side in RR's defense.
6 - DT Brandon Williams - Missouri Southern St.[/quote]
I love his attitude and work ethic. I've only seen a few highlights, but he appears to have excellent quickness at 6-2 ,328.
