My perfect draft if we sign Hardy and McClain

If we sign Hardy and resign McClain this is a draft I would be really excited about.

1. Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State

Guy is a run stuffer and quick off the ball. I would love to have this guy as a 1 technique who played right beside Crawford with Lawrence and Hardy as the book ends. Our front 4 has gone from a weakness to a strength, especially if Crawford and Lawrence come on like I think they will.

2. Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State

Guy is a bigger back with impressive movement skills. In this mock Tevin Coleman is off the board and I go with another back who I believe will also be a complete back at the next level.

3. Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State

Guy could go way sooner than this based on his athleticism. However, I used CBSSports as my guide. If he is there in the third, we spring to the podium. Guy has rare athleticism and could be a solid starter if he worked on his footwork.

4. Gerod Holliman, Safety, Louisville

This guy is a ballhawk in the secondary and had 14 INT's last year. So why does he slide? Because he is coming off of an injury and also takes poor angles in the run game. He isn't the best tackler either. He is a sneak tackler and not quite the physical presence that you would want. However, would provide an upgrade over Heath when they went into Nickel package and Church dropped down as a nickel linebacker.

5. Kenny Bell, WR, Nebraska

All time receiver at Nebraska. What is more important about him is that he is a special team demon. He is a terrific point of attack blocker as a WR. He replaces Harris. Only issue, he wasn't a punt returner in college. Wonder if he could do it in the pros?

7. Chris Hacket, Safety, TCU

Didn't test well, so will slide. However, this is a gritty player who will be a great special team pick up that could develop into a starter quality player down the road.

7. Kyle Loomis, Punter, Portland State
The ball explodes off his foot. He is 28 so a little bit older but punters and kickers can play forever. He is a cheaper, better punter than what we currently have.

QB (3)
Tony Romo, Brandon Weeden, Dustin Vaughn

RB (3)
Jay Ajayi, Darren McFadden, Ryan Williams

FB (1)
Jed Collins

OT (4)
Tyron Smith, Doug Free, Darren Weems, Donald Hawkins

Center and Guards (4)
Ronald Leery, Travis Frederick, Zach Martin, Mackenzie Bernadeau,
We will need to sign someone else to cover ourselves.

WR (5)
Dez Bryant, Terrence Williams, Cole Beasley, Devin Streets, Kenny Bell

Defensive Ends (4)
Gregg Hardy, Demarcus Lawrence, Jeremy Mincey, Ben Gardner

Defensive Tackle (4)
Tyrone Crawford, Eddie Goldman, Terrell McClain, Chris Whaley

Linebackers (7)
Sean Lee, Rolando McClain, Anthony Hitchens, Andrew Gachkar, Jasper Brinkley, Keith Rivers, Kyle Wilber

Corners (5)
Orlando Scandrick, Brandon Carr, Ronald Darby, Corey White, Tyler Patmon, and Mo Claiborne after he gets off of IR

Safety (5)
JJ Wilcox, Barry Church, Gerod Holliman, Chris Hacket, Jeff Heath

Longsnapper (1)
J.P. LaDouceur

Kicker (1)
Dan Bailey

Punter (1)
Kyle Loomis

We would then have five players to add. Probably add one to defensive line and one that is a guard/center. We could add another returner. What do you all think?

I can't man. Kenny Bell is kind of a pet cat of mine. The guy is a younger form of Dwayne Harris. He's a tough swiss army knife that does a lot of behind the scene stuff for a team.

Heck of a haul Coach Steele! This team would be vastly improved with an offseason that includes Hardy and this draft.

Mehh I dont see anything special about Goldman. He really wasnt in the backfield that much in the games I watched. He holds the line well and can take on blockers, but I don't think he is going to be a Marinelli guy....especially in the 1st. Could be wrong, but I'd be pretty surprised if he's top on our board @27
