Who's going to replace Fred Beard?

No one on this roster can replace a healthy Frederick. It’s a downgrade for sure.

Jesus no more picks. You already spent a 2nd and 3rd rounder recently on interior line and your going to be spending a 1st round in 2021 to groom a LT. Not only that you have Looney signed whose good enough to start as well

Jesus isn't in the draft.

Another downgrade. Will have to draft a center and let looney start.

Better not use a 2nd or 3rd rounder on a center lol

We used a 3rd on a center last year.

Pay attention

let’s hope it’s McGovern.

Fred did not play well last year.

He was mediocre and got to the pro bowl on the back of nostalgia.

He saw this and realized he's not going to be the same.

Center is not something the Cowboys should expend a draft pick on this season. We have that position covered with Looney and McGovern. Focus the draft on fixing this defense. If the Center is a problem a year from now, then it is when to draft one.

Lol, yeah let's save our 2nd rounder for a stud defensive tackle, just like last year. I swear our 2nd round picks are reserved for projects and reaches.

And the previous year, let's take an injury prone tackle and move him to guard, what's the worst that can happen ? (result = 3 knee surgeries in 2 NFL seasons, undersized/powered, and arguably getting outplayed by backups).

At this point if there's a 2nd rounder regardless of position that they think can immediately start and improve the team NOW then do it (aka last year Juan Thornhill would of been a day 1 starter at safety no questions asked).

Ok i know Loony is going to get 1st crack at it, but if we remember he still had his problems the year Fred was out. so can Williams or The McGovener take over? I know Connor Williams did some practice at Senior bowl at Center.

This is why they drafted McGovern...

At this point I think trading our 2nd rounder is the way to go. We might as well use that pick for players that play. Jerry is going to use it to draft another TE or a player that had one good game in High School.

That's for sure. I was really disappointed to hear the news, Travis was a great addition to our OL. We're gonna miss you Travis!

Ummm.....has McGovern even started an NFL game? What make ya'll so sure he'll be better than looney???

I said stud not a jag or somebody to groom. Looney likely gets the nod but would be nice if a stellar center falls to us...

We wait until the 3rd or 4th? Don’t we want someone as good or better than 50% Fred?

Forgot he was drafted as a center

Ive never seen Micki G play in the NFL. I put my money on Looney to hold it down for the entire season.

Best five.

LT - Tyron Smith
LG - Connor Williams
C - Connor McGovern
RG - Zack Martin
RT - La’el Collins

O-line gonna be just fine.

That's the way I see it too, but now we're looking light at T.

While I was expecting Fredbeard back at 100%, I was loving the online. We were completely done.

LT - Tyron Smith
LG - Connor McGovern
C - Fredbeard
RG - Zack Martin
RT - La’el Collins

Backups
C, 2nd G - Looney
Swing G/T - Williams
Knight - 2nd T, Blocking TE?

Kingofholland · Mar 24, 2020

Yep have to think the McGovern pick was insurance for the interior of the line. If he's not ready, Looney is a very capable starter. Have to keep in mind we're not losing all-pro Frederick he was good, not great last season.

There were some rumblings on Twitter about Adam Redmond.

I doubt they can afford to pick another OL in a premium round with the holes on this team.
