Cowboys one of four teams Fluker to have private workout for

[RS12]

Alabama OL D.J. FLuker has four team workouts scheduled.
The Ravens, Vikings, Rams, and Cowboys are the four teams. All are in need of offensive line help, but the Ravens, Vikings, and Cowboys are fairly set at right tackle, where many project Fluker. There's also some buzz that the Alabama product might be projected as a guard.

Yeah, Gil Brandt must be losing it in his old age.

[Said in best Jerry Jones voice] In my mind, Gil Brandt lost it when he compared Danny "Buffoonan" Noonan to Randy White.

I may be in the minority, but I think he would be a fantastic RT and I would have no qualms with the Cowboys selecting him at 18.

I'm right there with you! I would take him before taking a guard.

Fluker would be a polarizing pick. You'd have half the fans shouting FLUKER!! and the other half shouting #$%@ER!!

I happen to think he's a natural roadgrading NFL RT. A rich man's Phil Loadholt. Probably the 2nd best run blocking OL in this draft.

I believe the interior is the bigger need, but I don't care about that when it comes to the draft. I would love the pick but only if Warmack is gone. Which he should be.

He's gotta be a trade down candidate...I can't see him going to use at 18

I am there with you,i would take @18 and be happy.

 

[unionjack8]

if Warmack and Cooper are gone then i'd be ok with this.

 

[Dhragon]

I'd prefer other O-line selections.

However, I'd just be thrilled we went O-Line in the first round and still be happy with this. If Fluker is a reach at 18, it can't be by too much and I'd hate for us to trade down just to have some other team grab him before us and we be stuck with some other position drafted instead.

Comments from his Pro Day had me going back and reviewing what I could of him. I still would take Richardson, Cooper, and Warmack before him. But I'm seeing him in a more positive light than before (not that I was ultra down on him beofre). He would certainly beat Free out.

 

[RS12]

Interesting that two of the four teams he is working out for have two first round picks. The Vikes and Rams 2nd first rounders in the 22-25 range. I'll guess he doesnt get past there.

 

[jjktkk]

I like him, but I worry about his foot speed.

 

[XxTDxX]

Cooper, Warmack, Vaccaro, Sheldon Richardson

All better players than Fluker.. 1 if not 2 of these guys could be there at 18.. Don't see us taking Fluker there.. Maybe if we trade back into the mid 20's though

If only he could have stayed on Roids...

I thought Noonan played well under Jimmy's 1st year, but I don't think he had the hunger to excel. Didn't he go to Denver after Dallas released him? He kinda disappeared after that.

We are fairly set at RT.............

 

[LatinMind]

but the scouts here at cowboyszone are telling us that he doesnt fit the scheme.

The Cowboys haven't hrought ZBS players in since Callahan was hired. They also moved away from smaller linemen with the two free agent signings last year.
