And with a Wisconsin begining as well, both Peter Konz and Kevin Zeitler would have the ability to man the complete offensive line's interior.

Double digit sacker in a 3-4? Very doubtful.

On the other hand, he would just move over to guard and compete with the other 4 we already have.

Bernadeau also can play Center, and I wouldn't sleep on us drafting Blake in the 4th. We really do like him.

I have Blake in all my mocks. I would see us trading down in the 3rd and grabbing him. I think he and Broyles are pet cats of the front office.

would kuechly have any chance of being the pick?

If both are gone, the Cowboys are probably trying like heck to get out of the 14th pick and down somewhere late in the 1st. Everything I'm reading says there really isn't much difference between 10-30. Obviously there would have to be a player on the board at #14 that another team really likes to make a trade scenario even possible.

I think DeCastro will be later than our pick anyway.

If we got DeCastro, I would rather move this guy. I would think it would be a little easier on a rookie to come in and play the position he has been playing for the past few years.

i think we're fine. if all the hype is about Barron and Cox who teams are supposedly willing to trade up for, someone that was in that original top 10 would have to fall to us.
and i'm curious to know how many of these guys who slip in the drafts, and who gain a lot of media notoriety for taking plays off, or for a questionable motor, etc. how many of these guys actually prove the draft experts wrong in the actual nfl? think i'll make this a thread to get some answers.

As has been discussed previously, I think that the Cowboys plan might be Cox, Barron, trade down, DeCastro, in that order.

I don't anticipate Blake being there in the fourth round. I think we'll have to take him in round 3 if we want him.

I believe we'd go Bern at OC and DeCastro at OG. He is the best pulling guard available. And we do like our screen and swing pass game under Garrett.

That would make for a salty OL. I think Livings and Bern are underrated signings.

Still not sure we'd go DeCastro before a trade down however.

Trade down w/ Pats and get Konz at OC is lesser than the DeCastro line but not remarkably so and we can pull a rotational front 7 guy for the defense still.

Perry, McClellin or Mercilus would be a heck of a 3rd down rush player who could grow into much more.

You are not kidding either. There has been a lot of buzz about him in the first round. McShay believes he is a first round lock and a number of other people close to teams believe that it is unlikely he makes it out of the top 20.

1st option: Cox
2nd option: barron
3rd option: trade back
4th option: DeCastro

Not the order I would personally choose, but I am very content with these 4 options.

I hope you are right about that. We needed 3 starters on the OL.

I can't help to think that Garrett really likes DeCastro. Great prospect from one of the top academic schools in the nation. You get a smart guy like that who is an outstanding player ... coaches dream right there
