I think most posters seem to prefer the "Draft Best Player Available" approach, but I believe the 'Boys are going to try to fill a few particular holes still and will be drafting positional needs. That being said, I think they will TRY to move around a lot.
I hear rumors that after 12 or so draft spots the talent isn't glaringly better one pick to the next. I can see us trying to drop down if 2-3 players still appeal to us in first round but might be better value at the bottom of round 1. For example is one or two of the best LB's, WR's, FS's, and OT's, or even the best OG, in draft are still around at pick 18, then I see us trying to drop down to end of round 1 and pick up an extra 3rd rounder and still get one of the aforementioned guys, particulary if there isn't one cut and dried better than the others.
I can also see the Boys trying to move up more often or earlier into 2nd or 3rd rounds as well, trying to get as many first day "starter" types similar to last year. Guys that can contribute earlier or more quickly, even if just as role players/backups. I think the depth of the team has improved over the last couple of years whereby it is getting harder and harder NOW for our 6th and 7th round picks to have legitimate shots of making the roster. I can see the later round picks being used on a FB or wr/kickreturner/punt returner. Guys that will play roles or special teams. Or I think Parcells and company will try and package some of these guys and try to move up a spot or two in the middle rounds. Parcells might be in win this year or next mode and we might even trade a next years pick to add more and/or earlier pick this year.
The team is slowly getting significantly younger in some ways, albeit not necessarily more proven.
Kosier replaces Allen
Hannan replaces Campbell
? replaces Glover
Coakley and Nguyen have been replaced by younger LB's
It should be an interesting draft for Cowboy fans. I anticipate the attempt at a lot of dancing around, but not sure if their will be a ton of partners out there who want to play that game.
