How would you feel if the Cowboys got Warmack at 18 and traded up using a pick or two from next year to get Cooper?
I'd probably cry tears of joy. Romo probably would too.
I would love it. Can they get a Center also?

Just like they werent a player away last year, they arent this year. This team needs every pick it has this and next year and should look to get more IMO.
Agree. I wouldn't do it under the "1 player away" train of thought.
The reason to go overboard on the OL is that it is a foundation for the entire team. It makes the QB and all offensive skill position players better. It helps the defense if you can establish a legit running game and eat up the game clock in the process.
If I were building or rebuilding a football team, the OLine is the one area where I would start. My number one goal would be to attempt to have the best and most dominant OLine that ever existed. I would even put resources into having quality developmental backups.
You can win with a young QB or marginal veteran QB when you have a dominant OLine (see SF Alex Smith and then Kaepernick). OK, they have a good defense also, but without that OLine, it's doubtful that they would have had a winning record when Alex Smith was playing.
