Was a three-year starter for the Bears --- Named 1st Team All-Pac-10 in 2010 --- Father, Steve, played tight end in the NFL for 13 seasons and made 6 Pro Bowl's --- Arrested in 2008 for suspicion of driving under the influence and served a one game suspension --- Extremely versatile and could project as a base end capable of moving inside to defensive tackle on occassion in a 4-3 scheme or to a five-technique defensive end in a 3-4 front --- Underrated prospect who, like his former teammate Tyson Alualu, could end up being selected much earlier than most realize --- Isn't flashy and may never be a dynamic sack artist in the pros but should be a solid starter for a very long time.
Cowboys like the Packers did, a few years back, Trade back up in 1st round, either with Eagles or New England, and get Gabe Carmini OT, who falls due to injury and not being able to play in senior bowl.
Cowboys give up their 4th rounder to get OT Gabe Carmini

Last name is pronounced "kuh-REE-mee" --- A four-year starter and team captain for the Badgers --- Named 1st Team All-Big Ten in 2009 and 2010 --- 1st Team All-American in 2010 --- Won the 2010 Outland Trophy as the nation's top interior lineman --- The Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2010 --- A civil and environmental engineering major who was named Academic All-Big Ten four straight years --- Very committed to Jewish faith and fasts during Yom Kippur --- Missed three games with a right knee injury in 2008 --- Missed half of fall camp in 2009 with a right knee injury --- Suffered left shoulder (AC joint) injury in 2009 --- Actually replaced Joe Thomas, the #3 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, at left tackle in Madison --- Overrated blocker with all the tools to be a starter at the next level but is not the elite blindside protector and early first rounder that some have made him out to be.
2nd Round 40th spot;
Cowboys trade down to San Francisco, since QB Locker is there, and get the 49ers 4th rounder and a 7th rounder
With 49ers 45th pick Cowboys take Ben Ijalana OT/OG --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offensive Tackle | Villanova | SR Ben Ijalana

3rd Rounder of Cowboys
Stefen Wisniewski Height: 6-3 | Weight: 306 | 40-Time: 5.30

A three-year starter and team captain for the Nittany Lions --- Named 2nd Team All-Big Ten in 2008 and 1st Team in 2009 and 2010 --- Also garnered some All-American notice in 2010 --- Father, Leon, was a defensive lineman at Penn St. and a 2nd Round pick in 1982 NFL Draft, playing four seasons with the Baltimore / Indianapolis Colts --- Uncle, Steve, was a two-time 1st-Team All-American at Penn St. and an eight-time All-Pro offensive guard during NFL career with the Oakland / Los Angeles Raiders --- A secondary education major who excelled in the classroom with a near-4.0 GPA and was a three-time Academic All-American --- Could project to either center or offensive guard and has extensive experience at both --- Certainly isn't very flashy or the most impressive physical specimen but compensates with first-rate intangibles and there is virtually no chance he won't be successful at the next level --- Will win a starting job and enjoy a long NFL career
Note, If Stefen is gone, Cowboys take Center
Kristofer O’Dowd USC 6-5 300 5.20
The Cowboys now have filled their offensive line for years to come, with 3 key offensive linemen. I know its alittle too much possibly, but wanted to have one draft fixing our offensive line.
3rd Rounder from Miami cowboys take S Deunte Williams who falls due to injury.
Deunta Williams North Carolina 6-2 215 4.55
4th Rounder, Cowboys Trade up alittle and take
QB Colin Kaepernick Nevada 6-6 225 4.43
A four-year starter and team captain for the Wolfpack --- Named 1st Team All-WAC and WAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2010 --- Also ran for 4,090 yards (6.9 avg.) and 59 touchdowns --- Only player in college football history to rush for 4,000 yards and throw for 9,000 yards in a career --- Only player to ever rush for 1,000 yards and throw for 2,000 yards in three consecutive seasons --- Broke Ian Johnson's Western Athletic Conference record for career rushing touchdowns --- Tied Eric Crouch's NCAA record for most career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback --- Selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 43rd Round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft --- Could also get some looks as a wide receiver prospect --- Played in Chris Ault's "Pistol Offense", which padded stats but didn't really prepare him for the next level --- Better college player than pro prospect and is still more of an athlete than quarterback --- Intriguing developmental signal caller who is far from a finished product and will require some work and patience.
Cowboys again make a move here, trading Marion Barber for a 4th rounder and future 6th, guaranteed on improving to a 5th of playing time, and stats for Barber.
4th Rounder from Miami or some other team for Barber, Cowboys take
Mark Herzlich OLB Boston College 6' 4" 235
5th Rounder Cowboys trade their 7th rounder to move up alittle and take
Kendrick Ellis DT Hampton 6' 5" 340
With Cowboys own 5th rounder, Cowboys take
Henry Hynoski* FB Pittsburgh 6' 2" 260
Note, I wanted to take Owen Mareic FB from Stanford, but with him being undecided about going pro or playing football, I wanted a player with his heart in the right place and we do need a big bruising fullback.
6th Rounder Cowboys take
Roy Helu Jr. RB Nebraska 6' 0" 215 or
Alex Green RB Hawaii 6' 2" 230
7th Rounder Cowboys take
Alex Henery K Nebraska 6' 2" 175
or Ryan Whalen WR Stanford 6' 2" 205
Note, I know thats 11 players, and I see Cowboys only taking 9 with possible trades of players or trading down, but wanted to get creative in this one. Again, I will listen to what Stephen Jones will say about this team, players either cut or traded possibly and then I will predict if Cowboys take that many players or not. But dont forget this, a few years back, I had the Cowboys taking 12 to 13 players and you all laughed at me. But who was right? The Cowboys did take 12 players in the 2009 draft. With what Jerry Jones told the players, your being evaluated the rest of these 8 games after he fired Wade, I do think some changes are coming, so possibly more draft picks taken or players traded for picks etc... So, toss it around see what you think, agree with or disagree. I really see Cowboys only taking 2 offensive linemen in this draft high in the draft, but they may surprise me, given status of Columbo, L Davis, and Holland.
