Bored and daydreaming of an improved Defense.

FA
Clinton McDonald DT 6-2/297 Age 27 Seattle Seahawks
Major Wright S 5-11/204 Age 25, Chicago Bears
Chad Rinehart G 6-5/321 Age 28, San Diego Chargers
**I went with 3 lesser names but key positions.

1(17) Aaron Donald, DT, 6-1/288 Pittsburgh - Has shot up draft boards, Cowboys aren't hiding their love for this kid.
2(48) Dee Ford, DE/LB, 6-2/243 Auburn - Cowboys never afraid to draft players not suited for their scheme. Ford will find a spot to play and improve the pass rush.
3(79) Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, 6-3/252 Georgia Tech - He reminds me of the Seahawks' linebackers. Physical, plays fast, and aggresive.
4(115) Jay Prosch, FB, 6-1/256 Auburn - Cowboys realize they need a fullback and get a good one. Basically a Guard who plays Fullback, pure blocker.
5(147) Antone Exum, CB/S, 6-0/220 Virginia Tech - Ideal Tampa 2 Cornerback, needs to get healthy.
7a(206) Max Bullough, MLB, 6-3/260 Michigan State - Off-field and weight gain push him to 7th. Solid back-up for Sean Lee.
7b(209) Matt Hall, T, 6-9/323 Belhaven - Raw project but great size. Cowboys have scouted him already.
7c(215) Viliami Moala, DT, 6-2/315 California - Might be the strongest player in this draft and was a 5-star recruit three years ago. I think whoever drafts him should consider moving him to Guard.

Ford and Attaochu are the same player imho. Pure pass rushers.
I'd be glad to draft both just the same for a 4-3 DL.

If we draft both then we would be in position to release Ware next off-season.

Like the FB idea but not that early.
No matter how good the player a FB will be a role guy here.
A lot will be pinned on Escobar this off-season and more 2 TE sets should be forthcoming.

Really like Bullough if he falls but this defense is a poor fit IMHO.
He can't back up Lee here because he can't cover. deep middle. He'd be a SLB here imho.

Like the FA class but each will cost more than is expected so really hard to see us grabbing all 3.
