After having watched the OL struggle for an entire season and having only switched the tackles and added Livings (Bernadette is practically unknown), I don't see how anyone can feel confident that the OL is much better off.
Even under the assumption that Free picks up at RT where he left off, that still leaves 3 positions on the OL that are shaky.
Although I have started to warm on Livings after watching the season opener against Cleveland last year (I'm tempering my excitement because it is only one game), I'm still not convinced the OL has been address adequately.
If Dallas gets DeCastro and somehow gets better play from the C position, whoever that might be, I think people will **** a brick at how well the offense performs.

I'd love to see some upgrades on the OL, but the offense has some other issues too.
I don't know who fills that third WR role right now. I'm not confident in Dez and Miles to make it through a season injury free either. WR depth is pretty decent in this draft, so hopefully they come away with one. I like Broyles, McNutt, Fuller, Hilton and Toon.
Murray is a big piece too. Can he stay healthy? Can he continue to produce during that short, incredible stretch?
Having a running game that can produce in the RZ and control the clock will do a lot for this team though.

With this plan, we better hope we have the ball last in every game though cause the D will stink again.

It's all fun. But it's all very predictable as well. Information and misinformation alike is flowing strong down the home stretch just like previous years.
No one knows for sure because no one knows for sure what will happen at picks 3, 4, 5 etc. So much of what Dallas will do is influenced by what other teams do in front of them and what teams behind them want to do as a result.
It's kind of funny that of late DeCastro has emerged as the consolation prize.
It's a fun time of year.

What plan? I just said I'd like to see upgrades on the OL and that there are holes at WR.
This team has a lot of holes. Any of these positions could be drafted: S, CB, OLB, DE, NT, TE, WR, OG or OC. Even RB or ILB could use depth.
Personally, I don't know that you can make enough moves to fill all the holes in one draft. So take the best player available and do it again next year (in the draft and FA)

If there was any more smoke going up from around the league, Smokey the Bear would file a restraining order against the NFL Draft.
At this point, I believe absolutely NOTHING that comes out of anyone's mouth that is coming from "rumors", "grumblings", or "whispers".
If Sdogo or Hos hear something from inside the Ranch, it's one thing. These guys that have national exposure are being played like a Stradivarius by front offices all over the league.

OK, from your other post you seemed to just list offensive needs.
Yes there are alot of needs, most of which are on defense.
There is too much parity in the NFL for me to think we are 2 years away, with a good draft, we could be real competitive this year.

Notice Bunting didn't suggest that he actually would be the pick. He took him at #14 for Dallas in his mock, but his reasoning was that the idea sounds intriguing. Well he's right, it does. But so does a long weekend in Monte Carlo with a super model and an expense account. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

We could use a consolation prize like that every year.

Not even referring to Mosley really, but some get really adament about certain players as if they know with certainty the future. You know the ones, that diss others that don't agree when all they have to do is sometimes say "In my opinion" to lighten it up.
Then when things don't happen, you never hear a peep.
