Per Ian Rapaport, the Cowboys are expected to sign former third round pick OL Marcus Martin who lastly was with the Browns.

 

[Cowboy06]

Camp fodder or hopeful depth?

 

[calico]

don't know much bout him. possible starter or a body to have to allow more draft flexibility?

 

[CCBoy]

Martin and Fleming...then how about a Bowman?

 

[Leadbelly]

He's a center/guard replacing Looney.

 

[IrishAnto]

While it doesn't exclude taking OL in the 1st or 2nd it means we can be more flexible in the draft.

Absolutely
Nice upgrade for that as well.

Back up for 3 spots on the OL

The FO has done a really nice job of shoring up this line heading into the draft.

Broaddus did an evaluation of him and he's similar to the 1st year of Leary. He is big, very big and strong armed. He can move people. If he were
to work hard and remold his body type similar to the way Leary did, we might have something. Broaddus said that if he gets his hands on you, you are
stopped dead in your tracks.

D3pth signing I would imagine. Looney won't be back....can swing G/C

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Taking over Looney possibly. Can play all inside spots.

I heard that same thing from Broaddus during his recent Periscope segment.

With a signing like this, it makes me wonder now whether or not they have any plans to move Collins back to guard and start Fleming at right tackle.

They may feel that Martin can play the left guard position and Collins will stay at right tackle, and Fleming would be the upgrade at swing tackle that the team needed.

They can draft a top notched guard in the draft, now, as well...and depth is set.

The media has pretty much all said that they are hearing that there is no plans to move Collins.

 

[John813]

Can't Fleming play guard too?

 

[Stash]

They can, but it's nice to know that they don't have to, at least not early. Now they have the luxury of choosing the best player available. And if that happens to be a stud guard? That's great.

 

[Stash]

Well, if that's the case, I'd say that Fleming is the swing tackle and as I type this, that Marcus Martin is the current starting left guard.

Those would be my assumptions based on that information about Collins anyway.

 

[Section446]

Backup, nothing more.

 

[glimmerman]

Hoping he will provide depth.
