It's not rocket science to look at OT. We all know that we need a swing T. What this tells me is that the Cowboys are NOT planning on using the #19 pick on OG, not any OG, no matter how highly rated, and that's probably smart. Now, if they see a starting OG in round 2 or even in round 3, maybe, but suppose the guys capable of starting are gone; this gives us the option of moving Collins back to OG and still having a stronger OL without using another first round pick on the position.
My guess is they try to bring in one of these OT's who have experience starting and even in the playoffs and SB, still draft an OG or OT somewhere in the mid-rounds, and let them all complete. If the best 5 guys means putting Collins at LG, you do it. If it means leaving him at RT, you do that. But signing an OT in free agency is about options.
I still expect the top two picks to be spent on defense. We can use another DT or S, but neither is quite as critical as drafting another LB in 1 or 2.
Normally, we'd all say this will be a defense heavy draft, but with 10 picks, I have no doubt we'll select OL, WR, RB, and maybe TE. That still leaves 6 selections for DL, LB, S and special teams.
