Doug Free another OL

[cowboys4life]

wohooo i like it

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Was ranked 77th by Goose, and 64th by Ourlads, had him ahead of Marten according to Mickey.

Good pick..........I guess.

 

[SDogo]

Great Value! Round 3 guy

 

[Cowboys&Caps]

Im not sure what we are going to do here..................just put OT"s at receiver?

 

[stealth]

22 reps is all he put up?
I am pretty sure I could do that

Martens can play inside too.

Just need a C now.

 

[cowboys4life]

yeah i agree we need a corner now but we do need depth at OL

 

[Sabu1]

Good pick. Somebody's moving to guard to compete with Berger and Proctor.

FROM NFL DRAFTCOUNTDOWN: DAY ONE PICK

Strengths:
Has good size with long arms and a big frame...Has outstanding feet...Very good athlete for the position...Agile and quick with great mobility...Superb balance and body control...Can pull, get out into space and reach the second level...He rarely gets beat outside and can recover from mistakes...Extremely durable and will play through pain...Smart and a hard worker...Great motor...Has a ton of experience.

Weaknesses:
Needs to get stronger and bulk up...Is not overly powerful or dominant and lacks a great initial punch...Does not always finish plays and lacks a killer instinct...Has to play with better leverage...Can get knocked back as a pass protector and does not get a big push in the run game...Did not always play against top competition.

Notes:
Former tight end...Was a four-year starter...May be looked at as a guard by some teams...He battled groin and foot injuries as a senior which led to a decline in play but to his credit he didn't miss any games...Much better prospect than former NIU Husky and current Indianapolis Colt starter Ryan Diem was coming out...More of a finesse blocker but has the physical tools and ability to potentially play left tackle.

Jacob Rogers and Stephen Peterman part deux?

 

[BlueStar22]

Jerry says we have to start doing a better job developing OLs. He said we can't continue to do business like this, i.e. spending free agent money on veteran linemen.

Yes they will be liste on the depth chart right behind TO, Glenn, CRayton, Austin, and Hurd

 

[canters]

A back up OT for the time being....He will eventually be a starter. Wonder when we will address NT or CB?

 

[InmanRoshi]

Another massive, massive offensive lineman. This guy was thought of as a late 1st/early 2nd round caliber player heading into this year but he suffered a stress fracture in his foot last year that slowed him down. He still graded out at 91% for the season.

We got three candidates to replace Flozell now. Leonard Davis should remain at guard for the rest of his career with the Cowboys.

 

[BlueStar22]

Jacob Rogers and Stephen Peterman part deux?

I think those guys were day 1 picks.

 

[Hailmary]

What's up w/ picking up all these players w/ foot injuries????

 

[zrinkill]

Yes they will be liste on the depth chart right behind TO, Glenn, CRayton, Austin, and Hurd

 

[morasp]

22 reps is all he put up?
I am pretty sure I could do that

TSN:

Projected round 7

Bottom line: Free tends to play stiff and passively. It's unlikely he'll be anything more than a third string tackle.

 

[mmillman]

sounds like he could possibly develop into a LT?

 

[scottsp]

The value we are getting and the area we are attempting to address makes me very happy. I really like this pick. Nothing wrong with continuing along this path, IMO.
