3) Tre Jackson (6'4, 330): 3+ year starter at RG for FSU. Was dominate as a JR and I was suprised he returned for his SR season. Inconsistent play at C hurt the entire OL at times, but Tre is a mountain of a man, a bulldozer and played consistently well during his career. Assuming he stays healthy, I don't see a ton of risk with him-he'll be a starting OG in the NFL IMO. Some projections have him going in round 1, but I don't endorse Dallas taking him in round 1. I don't believe he's the level of a Martin. I don't know the long term plans with Leary, but Dallas could groom Tre for a year (Leary is a RFA) and then save $$$ in 2016 by plugging Jackson in at OG and letting Leary and his degenerative knees move on.

I'm not advocating taking Jackson in round 1 either, but Martin was picked 16th in a far superior draft. So a guard does not need to be Martin's equal to be picked 27th
