Did anyone catch Velas draft

[UnoDallas]

I like that mock draft given above UNO, don't know if that's yours or Bunting's. Like the majority of the picks although I'm not too familiar with OG Pinkston.

my biggest problem with where my FS

and a briuser at RB which I think can be done with UDFAs

an Pinkston not big on him


Strengths:
• Excellent bulk with a solid build and large hands
• Athletic with good quickness, agility and balance
• Nimble feet to shuffle, slide laterally and mirror
• Shows the ability to adjust and recover when beat
• Stout at point of attack w/ wide base and can anchor
• Displays an understanding of positioning and angles
• Range to get out in space and reach the second level
• Versatile and may be able to play multiple positions
• Lots of experience versus a high level of competition

Weaknesses:
• Is not as tall as you'd prefer and has short arms
• Footwork and hand use is very raw and inconsistent
• Questionable instincts, awareness and football IQ
• Not a road grader and push in run game is average
• Is not physical or tough and lacks a mean streak
• Struggled with weight and conditioning at times
• A poor motor and work ethic has been questioned
• Dealt with injuries and durability may be a concern

Notes:
A four-year starter for the Panthers --- Named 1st Team All-Big East in 2009 and 2010 --- Cousin, Todd Pinkston, was a wide receiver with the Philadelphia Eagles --- Began college career as a defensive tackle but almost immediately moved to the other side of the ball --- Underwent surgery to repair season-ending left shoulder injury in 2007 --- Missed the Sun Bowl in 2008 with right shoulder injury --- Played both right and left tackle during college career --- Could project to tackle or guard and best fit may be inside --- Underachiever who is a better athlete than football player at this point --- Talented enough to start at the next level but might lack the intangibles needed to maximize potential

give me Moffitt or Boling or Cannon

OTs rise, and it's about supply and demand. It's basic economics. There may not be a Jake Long or two guys like last year, but there is going to be good value for the Cowboys at 9 when all those players start blending together. The Cowboys, Lions, Giants, Eagles, and Colts all need OTs, and there is some good quality and some upside in this draft, especially with Smith's upside. Sherrod has good upside, too.

Smith, Sherrod, Carimi, Costonzo, and Solder are going in round 1. That is 5. If Dallas picks one at 9, teams are going to be worried. If Detroit picks one at 13, it's on. The Eagles and Colts may look to move up to get the guy that they want, imo. If you trade back into the teens, the Eagles or Colts could jump you and take your player.

Teams will view and rate them differently, and I think before the process is all said and done, Smith and Sherrod are going to rate very good when the vertical and horizontal analysis occurs occurs with the Cowboys. Both of those players have a legit shot at 9 if the board goes like it's supposed to go. I think Sherrod will rate 1 or 2 on Dallas' vertical draft board that includes all the OTs in the draft.

Like I stated in another thread, when you draft Smith or Sherrod, you are making a significant deposit into the bank accounts of Romo, Witten, Austin, Bryant, and Felix Jones. You are immediately replacing the weakest player in an already too old and rapidly fading offensive line, and you are drafting your future LT, imo. You are making that deposit into the strength of your team, the offensive skill players.

You are not only drafting a very young, strong, and athletic OT, you are investing in your offensive skill players and putting them in a stronger position to be successful.

OT Carimi and OG Moffitt of Wisconsin 'dominated' the BIG TEN this year and one or both would be a good fit for us. Additionally, since the Cowboys haven't had a BIG BACK to help move piles and/or sustain drives, i.e. '3rd and short' or 'inside the 5yd line', there are many fan who would like the Cowboys to draft a big back. John Clay of Wisconsin at 6'1" 255lbs would be the perfect fit in our offense. He could be our missing link on the many opportunities LOST on 3rd & short or goal-line when our offense couldn't sustain drives. If you watch Wisconsin, their offense line was dominate and their backs (especially Monte Ball and John Clay) punished defenses into submission. If we draft an athletic nasty OT and OG and a big back like Clay, we'd definitely be MORE physical next year.

Note: And, if the owners get their wish for 18 games, NFL teams will definitely NEED to invest in more Offensive Lineman to have the necessary depth to sustain a longer season. So, expect to SEE a run on offensive lineman SOONER than you think!!!

2 Players from my alma mater, Pitt. I wouldn't mind seeing both as Cowboys. Hynoski will be good but I think the FB is soon to be extinct. I'd rather have another TE on the team as opposed to a FB.
