How do we fix the center of our offensive line

C is like NT, the most underrated spots on the team. Both are more important than the hallowed CBs and WRs.

C is important but easier to get a difference maker.

NT, like FS, takes a truly special player. Those guys really move the needle, but the special ones are not available every draft.

I wouldn't be surprised if we take a NT/1T high this year. Seems to me like we drafted to give us some 3-3/2 options.

What happened to the high octane offense the Cowboys unveiled most of the season . I mean everyone comes on here and pops off about Philbin & Moore but stop and think about this OLine.

Other then Martin and Terence Steele who I happen to think should be your starting right tackle the rest of this line is ???. Invest in the line in the off-season high quality draft slots not 7th rounders ( Farniok ) see who’s out in FA world . Better ingredients make a better line right papa Jones .




52 has to go.

3 east steps

1. sign Ryan Jensen in FA
2. draft Green after trade down to 28-29
3. fire Philbin and get Callahan

presto great OL

I like your thinking, just feel all 3 are highly unlikely.
1. I'd love Jensen, but the Cowboys don't play in FA in that way (though they'd be wise to consider changing their tactics)
2. Green is listed as a top 10 pick on most boards, very likely he's gone at 24 much less trading back for him.
3. Callahan and the Cowboys had a falling out, so doubt he comes back.
This is a deep draft for Oline.
I wouldn't mind getting Linderbaum in the first (though he may also be long gone by #24), and one of Rhyan/Kinnard/Johnson in the 2nd.
Big upgrade at minimal cost (cap wise), then focus on keeping our key FA's and adding a bit of depth inexpensively in FA.

I think Linderbaum goes before Green
I also think Green will definitely be there at 24
If he’s gone you could trade down to 28-30 and take Zion Johnson
