The remaining ILB's would all be reaches at 51...The real value would only be S and DT

I'm glad the Cowboys had two number one picks last year and found three players after round one. This draft is bad, imo. The value for Dallas is going to be found on the offensive and defensive lines, and the team needs ILB and Safety help really bad. If Dallas had that 20th pick in round one, I would trade down.

It's a catch 22.

don't forget OG, OT and DE/OLB

[Doomsday101]

BPA that fills a need be it SS, DL, LB or other.

OL, OLB or DE should have value as well. While I am not a fan of taking Brace with the first pick, if he is the BPA, then I will not complain.


Otherwise, Jerry needs to take the best blue chipper that falls out of the first.

For S&G, include O-line if you prefer.

Naturally, you would go BPA if one jumps out as far superior to the others. But assume for a minute they are all roughly the same.

I would go ILB simply because we have literally no one else to play there and I don't offhand know of any good FAs we could put there. I think we're in real trouble there. (I'm not a Burnett believer if you can't tell.)

I can see DE, though, by the "planet theory" that you go with big talent first. But I think that sometimes teams use that kind of thinking to reach on big underachievers at around this point. And in our case, Olshansky is IMO a reasonable possibility.

I'd go SS last, probably, because I tend to think that S is the easiest hole to fill on the defense.

What do you think?

We need a safety who can play in space and make plays on the ball. Hamlin certainly isnt it.

We probably will need a starting DE, and its very possible we could get one at 51.

It's possible they could find a quality starter at LG at 51.

So I say none of the above in your selections.

Give me a safety at #51. I like Brace, but I think he's not a value at 51 and I think there's a good chance he'll be there at #69. The only real teams I can see taking brace before we pick in rd 3 are Pittsburgh, Miami or KC.

I doubt Pitt, they have 2 studs at NT already in Hampton and Chris Hoke
