All the mock draft post-Flozell have us taking an OT, either:
Campbell
Davis
Brown

Forget for a moment that 2 of the three are most likely gone before our pick, we will not take any of them even if they are available.

1) we haven't brought them in for visits
2) we don't like knuckleheads (davis)
3) we don't like workout warriors (campbell)
4) we don't like finesse and short arms (brown)
5) Most importantly, we believe in Free! We're not drafting a backup OT in round 1, especially one we don't fully like

I guarantee, our 1st Rd pick will be one of the following (if no trade down):
Wilson
McCourty
Thomas
Allen
Pouncey
Iupati
Odrick

Book it!

I'm hoping for Saffold or Ducasse in the 2nd and a safety/cb in the 1st...
 
Where are all these supposed mocks since we let go of Flo/Hamlin that have us taking Campbell, Davis or Brown in the first round, exactly?
 
brown has longer arms than bulaga,trent williams and davis.i still have a hard time believing that we are interested in him though,he really doesnt fit the houck mould .

Teams draft players they don't bring in for visits all the time.

And Marty B.

Jason Williams was somewhat of workout warrior from a small school.

This mock has Brown going to the Packers at 23....

Is Tebow a first rounder? Find out who we think will pick him. Wes Bunting

With only a couple of weeks to go until draft night, the National Football Post introduces its first two-round mock draft of the season:

1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
After his brilliant pro day performance, Bradford looks like a lock for the No. 1 overall pick.

2. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Even with all the upgrades the Lions have made along their defensive line, Suh still offers the kind of potential blue-chipper they can’t pass up.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
The Buccaneers are a team with needs across the board, so expect them to settle for the best player at this pick.

4. Washington Commanders: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
With the quarterback position now set, look for the ‘Skins to try to fix up the O-line.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Eric Berry: FS, Tennessee
The Chiefs have needs all over their secondary, and getting an elite talent at this stage in the draft is an absolute steal.

6. Seattle Seahawks: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Besides Okung, Bulaga looks like the draft’s safest offensive tackle prospect and should instantly fill a major void in Seattle.

7. Cleveland Browns: Jared Odrick, DL, Penn State
The Browns need a five-technique DE in the worst way, and in my opinion, Odrick is a better overall prospect than Tyson Jackson, who went three to the Chiefs last season.

8. Oakland Raiders: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Williams has been one of the draft’s fastest-rising prospects this postseason and gives the Raiders some talent and flexibility at offensive tackle.

9. Buffalo Bills: Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
The Bills need to put fans in the seats and have had nothing but glowing remarks about Tebow and his leadership capabilities. In what could be the real surprise of the first round, Buffalo opts for Tebow at nine.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Jacksonville still has major quarterback questions, even with David Garrard on the roster. Clausen could be the guy who takes over as the starter sooner rather than later.

11. Denver Broncos: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
McClain instantly gives the Denver defense some much-needed thump inside vs. the run game.

12. Miami Dolphins: Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Bill Parcells has had no trouble in the past taking character-concern guys high if the talent is right (see Vontae Davis), and Bryant is certainly worth a chance at this point.

13. San Francisco 49ers: Joe Haden, CB, Florida
The 49ers still have needs at cornerback, and Haden is the best the draft has to offer.

14. Seattle Seahawks: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
D-line could be the pick here, but with the overall depth of the defensive line group, the Seahawks could just opt for one of the draft’s most dynamic threats.

15. New York Giants: Maurkice Pouncey, OL, Florida
With no linebackers on the board worthy of the pick, the Giants can still get an impact interior lineman who has the ability to end up being one of the NFL’s best.

16. Tennessee Titans: Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
Tennessee needs to add more talent to its defensive end position, and Morgan might be the draft’s best option. A great value at this point.

17. San Francisco 49ers: Earl Thomas, FS, Texas
An offensive lineman could be the pick here, but adding another talented defensive back to an undermanned secondary might be too good to pass up.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Iupati gives the Steelers a potential dominant interior presence inside.

19. Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan
A tough, NFL-ready pass rusher who would add a much needed threat opposite John Abraham.

20. Houston Texans: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
The Texans are thin at cornerback, and Wilson looks like a guy who should be able to come in and compete for a starting job from day one.

21. Cincinnati Bengals: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Davis is a talented kid, but questions about his immaturity might cause him to drop a bit on draft day. However, he’d give the Bengals some flexibility at the tackle position and would allow them to kick current LT Andrew Whitworth inside.

22. New England Patriots: Dan Williams, DT Tennessee
Williams isn’t an ideal five-technique, but the idea of having him inside next to Vince Wilfork when the Pats go with a four-man line could make opposing offenses think twice about running the football.

23. Green Bay Packers: Charles Brown, OT, USC
Maybe a bit of a surprise here with Maryland product Bruce Campbell still on the board, but I just think Brown is a better fit for what the Packers want to do in the run game.

24. Philadelphia Eagles: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Although Pierre-Paul is a little raw, he may have more upside than any other prospect in the draft and is a good value at this point.

25. Baltimore Ravens: Terrence Cody, NT, Alabama
The Ravens not only had Cody in for a visit, but having already addressed their wide receiver needs this offseason, getting an immovable nose tackle at the end of round one is quite a find.

26. Arizona Cardinals: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Campbell offers the Cardinals a major upgrade at the left tackle position and has the kind of skill set to be as good as he wants to be at the next level.

27. Dallas Cowboys: Taylor Mays, S, USC
Dallas is a real wild card here, but with questions at safety, it’s going to be tough for Jerry Jones pass on the much-hyped Mays.

28. San Diego Chargers: Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
Mathews is a no-nonsense type of runner with a big frame and impressive burst for a guy his size. He gives the Chargers some much needed thump in the run game.

29. New York Jets: Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
Thomas offers the Jets a unique weapon in the pass game who has the ability to consistently create mismatches on all levels of the field because of his size.

30. Minnesota Vikings: Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Price is one of the few defensive tackles in this year’s class who can win on third down and gives the Vikings yet another legit threat inside.

31. Indianapolis Colts: Rodger Saffold, OL, Indiana
We know Colts president Bill Polian loves to draft Big Ten guys, and Saffold has the talent and versatility to play either guard or tackle at the next level.

32. New Orleans Saints: Jerry Hughes, OLB/DE, TCU
Hughes gives Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams another hybrid weapon he can use to get after the quarterback from a variety of spots.

Odd, since half of the mocks I've seen have us sellecting a safety . . .
 
Lots of Cowboys fans have mocks with us drafting a safety, but most of the national mocks have an OT.

In fact, many of them now say, 'The Cowboys have to take a tackle, or they have pigeonholed themselves, with the release of Flo"

I saw a compilation of mock drafts that inspired this post where almost every single pick was an OT (mostly Davis, Campbell, Brown, but also one Saffold). It was like 10 out of 11 mocks that had OT.

I'm just saying they are wrong. No OT in rd1 UNLESS Trent Williams somehow slides

Yes, it does have the Packers taking a tackle. But that has nothing to do with all the supposed mocks that suddenly have the Cowboys taking a tackle, as alleged by the OP.

Yes I know. I guess my point was that I hadn't noticed Brown going higher than #27 where the Cowboys pick....until that one. Seems he's rising.

With all these players rising up the draft board and not seeing many falling I guess 50 players could be picked before we get to #27. ;)

Yeah, that's really strange isn't it?

Tell me about it.
And all I want is this erasure...uh, and all I want is this lamp shade....uh, and all I want is.............

lol Why not just list half the draft all of the 1st round porjects and say "I'm sure we will pick one of these...book it"?

On top of that, Davis (this guy could be a multiple pro bowler, once he grows up) is so good that I 'm not sure the intial premise of the post was even true.

If it's Brurnett and Safford....PLEASE trade up or down, but don't spend the 27th on them.

Did you mean eraser? And do you know how to read? The point of the post is that we will not take an OT in rd1 despite many mocks predicting it, and even saying we "have to" after cutting Flo.

I narrowed a list of about 20 players down to 7-8. I'm not predicting who we will pick, but saying that who many people think we will pick is wrong.

So, that's what you should book. That and get a book and work on reading comprehension skills
 
In fact, I didn't list half the first round (math must be a bad topic for you too, 7 isn't even 1/4).

And I never said I want him and him and him... the lamp shade and ERASER comparison makes no sense.

Plus, no one can guarantee any one individual will be picked because someone else might take them.
