Do we draft OG or OT

I posted a similar thread on a different site and thought i post it here as well.


Going from Arizona to Dallas can either motivate Davis or puts him under so much pressure he might not be able to handle it. We don't know this for sure but the consensus on this forum is that he is a much more productive OG position for him than a OT and thats where i would like to see him, RG.

if that's the case, it means the cowboys would have Davis and kosier to play the guard postions with proctor and berger as backups (both of whom seem to be highly regarded by the coaching staff as young players with very good potential). Therefore, the question is does Dallas go for OT in the draft, especially if they don't sign Colombo? Maybe Sears or Stanley? Because after Adams we only have P. Mc Quistan (and fabini) as backups for the OT position. This way you can have a competition for the starting RT spot between McQuistan and Sears/Stanley and the loser can be a backup.

OT...definitely. Of course, it depends on who is the most talented player in the draft. If it is an OT, then draft him...if an OG, then draft him. BPA.

I think it all hinges on Columbo. If Columbo signs then I don't think we need to draft OL early at all.

If we lose Columbo, I would kick Davis out to RT and draft a gaurd early like Blalock or Grubbs.

I am still hopeful for a significant investment in the offensive line in this year's draft.

The Cowboys are way overdue for drafting some young talent for the line rather than overpaying for the Leonard Davises of the world.

I think Central Michigan's Joe Staley would make a nice replacement for Flozell Adams after a "redshirt" year, learning the pro game and adding some strength.

I'd be thrilled if he was still on the board in Round 2.

McQ could play RT. We don't want to start a rookie on the OL. Davis is better suited for RG and thats exactly what Dallas wanted him for.

Remember we have Fabini too who is now healthy.

Neither on the first day.

i would imagine only Blalock would be picked 1st round, although a lot of mockdraft have blalock going in the 2nd if the cowboys pass on him (yes i know too early for mockdrats). So, i agree with you we can pick OL (most likely OT if we don't resign Colombo) in the second round. Which also means that if the top two CBs or FS are gone by the time the cowboys pick at #22, i can see a senerio where the boys move down a few spots and get maybe an additional 3rd this year.

is he even servicable when he is healthy? i'm not trying to be sarcastic just that i don't know much about the player.

I love how everyone is so high on McQuiston....Bill says a couple of good words about the guy and all or a sudden he's our starting LT next year and could be our starting RT this year....this is totally crazy...we were lucky he "fell" to us in the 7th round....you guys sound like the same people a few years ago that thought Peterman was the next savior at G for us...

If Levi Brown somehow falls to us we snatch him up without hesitation. He reminds me of Jamaal Brown a bit...a guy who could start out at RT and eventually be a long term solution at LT. I have never been an advocate of a OG in the first round, OGs can be made IMO, OTs are a little harder to come by.

austintodallas was referring to Fabini, not McQuistan. We saw Fabini play in preseason and during the year -- he was serviceable.

Mcquiston will be a guy fun to watch in the preseason and just to watch and see how he developes.

He has everything you want so he should be fun to watch develop.

I hope we can get Colombo back next year and draft someone for the back up left guard spot.

Also Proctor will be fun to watch in the preseason. He earned his way onto this team and I cant wait to see a couple of these young guys fight for spots.

Exactly! McQuistan was highly touted by Parcells, as were ALL OF the other OLimenn Parcells drafted that wnet bust. Sorry, but I'd rather err on the side of probability and assume that McQuistan will be a bust simply because Parcells thinks he's a great find. I hope I'm wrong, but Parcells' track record for misjudging the OL (draftess and free agent aquisitions) is the main reason he failed in Dallas.

#1 I want us to resign Colombo. An O-line of Adams-Kosier-Gurdode-Davis-Colombo would be awsome.
#2 If Colombo walks, and the coaching staff believes there isn't a quality RT in free agency, explore trading up for Levi Brown, if he fallas past Houston.
#3 Stand pat and draft an OT, Davis would be a monster RG, but probably an averege RT.

i think it will be hard for either the Bills or the Giants to pass on him if he indeed actually makes it passed Houston.
Also, i would hate to think what it will cost the cowboys to move up 10-15 spots to get Brown somewhere in between the 7th -12th pick (maybe somebody can do the numbers).
