1 Nate Orchard, DE, 6-4 #255 Utah - Pass Rusher

2 Quentin Rollins, CB, 6 #200 Maimi (Ohio) - I think he just to raw for 2nd rounder
2 Ronald Darby, CB, 5-11, #195 FSU
2 Eric Rowe, CB, 6-1 #200 Utah
2 Alex Carter, CB, 6 #195 Stanford

3 Preston Smith, DT, 6-6 #280 Miss State

play him like we did with Hatcher

Smith also lines up as a 1-technique lineman inside on obvious passing downs, using his initial quickness and power to penetrate the A-gap and create interior pressure.

4 Jeremy Langford, RB,6 #205, Mich State

5 Josh Shaw, CB, 6-1 #200 USC

or

Phil Dawson, OLB, 6-2 #230 TCU

7a Mike Hull, ILB/OLB, 6 #230 Penn State

leading the Big Ten in tackles (83), and his impact was on display in the near upset of Ohio State Saturday night. He finished with 19 tackles, including 2.5 for loss, and one interception, showing terrific recognition skills and read/react quickness to break down and make a play. Hull isn't the most athletic or strongest linebacker prospect for the 2015 class, but he certainly plays his tail off and trusts what he sees, two qualities that will endear him to coaches at the next level.

“Mike Hull is as good as any linebacker in the country,” said Penn State coach James Franklin, “college or NFL."

or

Damain Swann, CB, 5-11 #180 Georgia

7b Tra'manye Boundurant, FS/CB, 5-10 Arizona

Love it.
Orchard is my 1 pet cat. Think I was the 1st on here to post about him.

I like Carter and Rollins. Don't care for Darby or Rowe.

Smith is perfect and can play any position. Played all 4 spots at MSU.

Not a Langford fan but wouldn't hate it in the 4th.

I love Dawson and think he is the steal of the draft. May have to take him in the 4th. Can play any LB spot. Perfect depth and develop starter.

Shaw is not a RKG.

Might need to add a OL early. I'm ok to let Free walk and draft a OT in the first 3 rounds if BPA.

if any OL get drafted it be a OG don't know how long Leary's knee will hold out

No to PJ williams also. Sorry but I just don't value players on loaded teams. I downgrade them a round. Look at history and players that's been on loaded teams most of the time fail or never meet expectations. It's wast to look good when half your ream is an nfl team vs college teams.
That's why I don't like Bama LSU or FSU players in the 1st round.

Free is over the hill and has missed several games this year. Good player but how much longer can he go. Time is now to move on. I would rather sign Parnell to a low 2 year deal and draft a player.

Two years ago, Cowboys fans (including myself) were ready to see tackle Doug Free ride off into the free agency sunset. Instead, Free humbly took a pay cut to stay in Dallas. And now, the Cowboys are reaping the benefits of that decision. Dallas’ owner and general manager Jerry Jones calls the 30-year old lineman the daddy of this young offensive line. And it’s true! Center Travis Frederick calls Free the glue that keeps the NFL’s best offensive line together. And that fact was put to the test last month when the elder lineman was forced to miss three games due to a foot injury. Although reserve tackle Jeremy Parnell played well in his place, this offensive line plays better with Free as an anchor. As I think it’s critical to keep the chemistry of this young O-line intact, re-signing Free this offseason is must

IMO and someone else

We disagree. Free is over. The guy is at an age and injuries we need to let walk. Only way I bring him back is on a 1 or 2 year deal at less than 3 a year and I don't think he will do that.

Parnell has been fine.

You only have so many picks and every other team gets to draft as well.

Smart teams use free agency, trades, and the draft to improve the roster talent. Don't limit yourself to just the draft.

Ah duh. But that shouldn't stop you from reaching. I said if OL is BPA in the first 3 rounds.

Compare his history with Demarcus Lawrence and get back to me on that.

Outside of a very stupid lie to cover up an injury, Shaw was a team captain and a commencement speaker at USC's graduation last year.

He was injured jumping from a window to get away from his girlfriend because she called the cops. Why would she call the cops if he was such a great guy.
Now no charges was filed for domestic abuse but that doesn't mean nothing happened. Why run if nothing happened?
Also he was bored captain before the season and it was taken away. Also players were mad he was brought back to the team.

A reporter claimed some players were upset, no names. Every single player interviewed said they wanted him back. The domestic abuse is speculation, no charges were filed. I'm not disputing it was not a dumb incident and it warranted punishment. I'm saying that it was an isolated incident and every other thing about Shaw's history says he is a stand up guy. Were you ready to cut Dez after the incident with his mother?

Also he was bored captain before the season and it was taken away.
Really? Did you think I was saying he was named team captain after?

6th or 7th round pick is worth the gamble, but he hasn't played all year. he also lost his team captain title.

One thing for certain happens every year. Everyone I think the Cowboys have a good shot of getting in the first round shoots up the draft board as the draft gets closer.

Orchard will be the same.

I think Calhoun has to be on our radar too as I think he's more day 1 ready for our defense and could probably step right in for Spencer whom I'm presuming we will allow to walk.
I love the OPs draft in the first three rounds at least. I think, in addition to CB in the second, I'd also look at DTs Bennett and Brown if by some miracle either were still available.
But I REALLY like Smith in the third and I'm hoping that teams will rate him low as a DE but I think he would be an excellent fit for us at DT with the ability to slide out to DE also.

A draft like 1) DE Calhoun, 2) CB Rollins, 3) DE/DT Smith combined with re-signing Ro McClain, Carter or Durant, and trading Carr's money for someone better would really give our D some teeth. I think that draft is also actually possible based on where we pick and availability.
