Kevin’s “Draft” Grocery List
Draft Strategy:
The Boys have done a nice job filling most of their glaring needs in free agency by acquiring TO and addressing there defensive and offensive line needs, so they won't have to draft for a specific need. Instead, they can go with the “best player available” approach. Now obviously you don’t want to take a player at a position that you don’t need but at least you are not handcuffed to a particular position when there are better players at other positions than the particular “must have” need.
The Cowboys still have some needs that they need to address in the draft, but most of their needs coincide with the deepest positions of this draft. As a result, the cowboys should be able to draft for quality and still meet most of their needs.
The most obvious needs going into this draft are offensive line, linebacker and free safety however Based on comments made By Jerry Jones, I am more inclined to think they will draft a young cornerback at some point in the draft and move A. Henry to free safety.
The following picks are my order of preference based on availability at the time we draft. I have not included any players that I feel have no chance of being there when we draft @ # 18 however because some players slide a bit each year I am including some players who may go a few spots ahead of where we draft.
First round
Jimmy Williams 6-2 216 CB/FS
Ernie Sims 5-11 235 OLB Florida St
Bobby Carpenter 6-3 250 OLB Ohio St
Manny Lawson 6-5 240 OLB/DE North Carolina St.
Kamerion Wimbley 6-4 250 OLB/DE Florida St.
Second round
Nick Mangold 6-3 300 C Ohio St.
Taitusi Lutui 6-4 340 OG USC
Davin Joseph 6-6 310 OG/C/OT Oklahoma
Charles Spencer 6-5 350 OG/OT Pitt
Gabe Watson 6-4 339 DT Michigan
Third round
Pat Watkins 6-4 206 FS Florida State
Cedric Griffin 6-1 200 CB/FS Texas
Gerris Wilkerson 6-3 230 ILB Georgia Tech
Jonathan Scott 6-7 315 OT Texas
Devin Hester 5-11 190 WR Miami
