Crawford, Ratliff, spencer, lee, all injured. Ware banged up. Wilcox missing camp when his mother died. Backups at linebacker injured.

Crawford is unproven, Ratliff still hasn't been replaced, Spencer is still hurt, Lee is always hurt and Ware is gone and hasn't been replaced.

I like the pick but I hope Opie will run the ball more now with a solid OL for once.

Absolutely thrilled with the third o-lineman in the last four years!
ALL FIVE Dallas Super Bowls were anchored by one of the best offensive lines in football.

The GREAT WALL OF DALLAS IS BACK!

I like the pick too. BPA on a team that is In the middle of a rebuild.

Wow.

You would almost think they have a plan here.

I see this as another move to protect Romo.

Which is fine to me.

Being able to be physical seems to be in vogue.

Does anyone here think any of our G's are as good as this guy?

Didn't think so.

Big philosophical change for the Cowboys. From never picking Olineman in the first round to investing in it 3 of last 4 years. I like it.

Once Donald was gone, Martin was best available. I like lineman with 1st pick. Safety would be nice, but trenches first!

Except the cowboys were going LB till Pitt messed it up. Love the pick, but not their first choice.

Martin was projected earliest of anyone left (absent Manziel), great Romo friendly choice.....feels good to have a better prospect at the OG than anywho in the last Decade or so.

Martin plays all 5 positions on the OL and was the absolute SAFEST pick in the entire 2014 NFL Draft.

Great pick...................as soon as his name was called, he could beat out 3 of our current starters on the o-line.

Not sure how anybody could be upset with this pick. We basically got wiped out on defense, nobody worth taking at pick 16 on defense that was rated as high as Martin.

Turned card in as guard but we'll see

Every review I've read on the internet has him moving to guard for the pros. Arms and height are both a little short to pick up the speed rushers.
