Laken Tomlinson OG Duke

[The Realist]

Has been one of my top pet cats for the last 2 months or so.

50+ game starter at RG for Duke.

Could have gone to Ohio State, Illinois and others but his top choices were Duke and Northwestern for Academics.

Pre-Med along with Psychology and Evolutionary Anthropology double major.

Great video! Thanks for sharing

I've seen him play quite a few times here in ACC country. Really good player and seems like a better person. I think guard will be on the radar for the 'boys based on trying to get Trai Turner last year.

Imagine how perfect he would be for us. Intelligent RKG. I would love to see an interior of Tomlinson/Frederick/Martin. They would destroy teams in the run game then after have lengthy discussions about the current state of the economy.

I like him as well but it's probably going to take a 2nd rounder to get him.

Funny you say that because I, like many of you, have become addicted to the FanSpeak Mock Draft Simulator. And, In my last 8-10 drafts, my first 2 picks have CONSISTENTLY been Nate Orchard at 27 and Laken Tomlinson at 60. The only time (once) that changed is when Dante Fowler fell to 27 and Malcolm Brown fell to 60.

I'm not much of a college guy, so I just became aware of Tomlinson while watching Senior Bowl practice.

With that said, he looked like the best OL on the field to me.

Does he project as a RT? Will we move Martin to RT so we can slot him at RG? Are we looking to replace Leary? All legitimate questions if we are considering a player who'll probably go fairly high.

The Cowboys trying to trade back in and draft Turner even after drafting Martin makes some think the Cowboys weren't done.

It's possible with Free and Parnell as pending free agents, along with Leary's knees and being 1 year from free agency, the Cowboys still might want to acquire a starting caliber player. I think the team brings back Free, rolls the dice at least one more year, and draft heavy defense. I wouldn't kick my dog if we drafted Tomlinson in round 2 or 3 if he's the clear BPA.

He'll be gone before our 2nd rounder. Free will be back.

If we drafted him I would move Zack to LG.
