They all seem a half round early or more.

Well, nobody can accuse you of picking guys who will be gone by our pick. So there's that.

Says who? Rankings? I am realistically looking at things.
1. Coleman will be a lock for round one after his pro day. No way he makes it past NE.
2. Randall is a ballhawk. A Saftey who can play corner and go get the ball and make things happen after. He is an immediate starter in the Nickel and Dime packages and most likely will challenge to start at safety midway through the season.
3. Williams is a huge, thick, strong offensive tackle who could start in a pinch at right tackle and most likely could be kicked inside to guard.
4. Irving looks better than most DE outside the first round. The guy is a steal after round 3 if he lasts. I could see a team like NE using a comp pick on him.
5. Davidson is a perfect rotation guy on the inside and would provide as a very capable backup to Crawford.

It's probably better to be conservative in a mock than some of the completely unrealistic ones that I see, I'll give you that.
1. Coleman will be a lock for round one after his pro day. No way he makes it past NE.
He is just not a must-have player, IMO. He is solid but not specular. His Pass Pro is better than some others. His ball security is not great but probably good enough.
I would describe him as a fast guy that runs though the hole if it is there and beats college defenders to the outside; however, he rarely maintains balance after 1st contact and won't have wide open running lanes in the NFL.
2. Randall is a ballhawk. A Saftey who can play corner and go get the ball and make things happen after. He is an immediate starter in the Nickel and Dime packages and most likely will challenge to start at safety midway through the season.
No argument on this one. I'm never going to be adamant about where a Safety should be rated because it's just to hard to evaluate them without the coaches film.
He has terrific athleticism and appears to understand the position based on game footage.
The worry would be his size. He is 12 pounds smaller than Earl Thomas was when drafted and Thomas is not considered a big Safety.
3. Williams is a huge, thick, strong offensive tackle who could start in a pinch at right tackle and most likely could be kicked inside to guard.
I see him as a Guard, but it will likely take time for him to learn the position because he has never played inside as far as I can tell. He is a very good run blocker but Pass Pro, even at Guard is the differentiator in the modern pass happy NFL.
4. Irving looks better than most DE outside the first round. The guy is a steal after round 3 if he lasts. I could see a team like NE using a comp pick on him.
I just don't know how you know this unless you're an Iowa State fan. I just can't find enough game footage to evaluate him. He looked good in some flashes that I saw.
My gut feel is that he would be a mid round guy without the character issues.
5. Davidson is a perfect rotation guy on the inside and would provide as a very capable backup to Crawford.
I won't spend to much time debating players in the 5th and later. He looked decent in the limited game footage that I saw, but I didn't see anything to make me think he is a better than the project players already on the roster.

The Cowboys have shown interest (one degree or another) in at least 4 of those guys and although it does not say which team it is, it was attributed to an NFC East scout about Mark Glowinski....
SOURCES TELL US
"I don't hear many scouts talk about him on the road, but he's got feet and some power so I'll bet that the line coaches jump on him when they get to see the tape." -- NFC East national scout

BOTTOM LINE
Tackle-turned-guard who is still learning to play the position. Lack of bend will cause leverage issues, but he has enough pure upper-body strength to overcome and he has potential to be good in pass protection. The physical traits combined with the toughness and intelligence should give him a shot to become a starter at some point.

I guess you could changed the Daryl Williams Pick a to Quentin Rollins/Ronald Darby in the second and Jeremiah Poutasi OG Utah
Laurence Gibson OT Virginia Tech in the seventh in place of Henderson.
That would be a draft where everyone (Glowinski is just a guess a this point) they have shown some interest in.

I agree but I also don't think any will be there by the time we pick in the following round. So we could get cute and trade back and risk missing out or just take who we want. If those guys turn out to be players no one cares where they got drafted, see TFred. We got blasted for taking him in round one when he probably would've been there in two but now we look like geniuses for taking him there. If you go through everyone's draft from recent years it's easy to see that teams are pretty lucky to even hit 40% on getting guys that can play with their draft picks. Lot of picks don't even last a full year or have serious injuries...although unfair serious injuries are about the same net effect as draft busts
