Probably the wrong forum and wrong time, but they need to draft another young tackle and I'd do it in the first round if the right one was to be found. I just think they need to finish this OL and then get to the defensive line from there.
I'm open to drafting a RT as early as round one, but I'm not expecting it.
If the team re-works the existing two years of Doug Free's deal or agrees to an extension with Jermey Parnell, there won't be a need to scratch this particular itch early in the draft.
Dallas will also have Darrion Weems back next year, a player that is supposedly well thought of by the staff and front office, as the leading candidate to become the new swing tackle.
Donald Hawkins is also an option, but he might get moved inside to guard next year. I feel that's his best fit and it might explain why veteran OT Tony Hills has remained on the roster since Doug Free returned from his first injury.
To track back to the subject. I do think Parnell has gotten better, but I also think he, like everyone on this team, needs competition.
Agreed.
Jason Garrett talks about competition a lot and creating it whenever he can on the roster.
It's a very good thing.
