Keep Mack, he's not expensive and can play all 3 interior line spots.

I think Berny's position flex is what makes Costa expendable. Otherwise he had a lot greater chance of being on the 53 man roster on opening day.

I'll make a prediction that these two melvins believe the OL is fixed and ignore it this offseason.

The question was about drafting solely defensive players considering how much help the Cowboys need on that side of the ball.

“We’ve got to be careful foregoing a really top offensive lineman,” Jones said. “I’d head scratch about that, all things equal, same quality.”

The follow-up question was specifically about defensive line help.

“It’s certainly where we were almost bankrupt last year in terms of what we had personnel wise,” Jones said. “As you’ve noted and I’ve mentioned, I thought that was our strength going into the season. And by the way, I was up here talking to Monte Kiffin earlier and Monte was talking about how [Anthony] Spencer, how we were doing with [Jay] Ratliff not out there, but how well we were playing at Oxnard in that defensive front. That was without Tyrone Crawford, who got hurt the first day. Still we were creating some havoc out there and we, of course, really lost that. But that is certainly an area of need. I’m not being evasive, but don’t discount a good offensive lineman that is high on your board.”

^^^^ Interesting since he went ~22 years without using a 1st on an OL. He might do it for the 3rd time in 4 years.

I would love the pick, BP. He's versatile. He would give the team a ton of options to make other pieces fit. I suspect most of the fans would be flabbergasted by that selection but I'd support it 100%.

People need to accept the fact this team has too many holes to fill in one offseason. Just take good players.

Same. I would love that pick as well.


Garrett's offense needs all the time in the world for any kind of play to develop so the more OL the better.

Hopefully he falls because he is a guard, and we get him at great value.

This draft is loaded at OG. If the Cowboys were returning from a year like 2012 where the OLine was a disaster, I would be really dissappointed if they didn't take one of the top 3 OGs in the draft; however, because they have a reasonable starting unit returning, I would be fine with some of the next tier players. I think many of those next tier players have similar upsides to the top 3, but might or might not be ready by game 1. At least 3 of those next tier guys have to make the transition from small college LT to NFL OG, but their physical upsides are really high.
