Id put Harmon, Pearce and Nolan as possibilities. Mykel Williams has an outside chance at being available as well. He is probably top 10 though

The Cowboys just need to sit back and let the BPA fall to them. San Francisco vs Arizona and Jacksonville vs Indianapolis will comical because all those teams want to lose.

If that's the top of the board when we pick it will be very hard to pass on Banks. Adding him to LT, cutting Steele and moving Guyton to RT is probably the best thing they could do for the O-line, Dak and the run game, whomever the running back ends up being.

Even if we say good bye to Martin, I think we have enough quality guys between Hoffman, Bass, Richards and maybe even Thomas, that we would see a very good battle for the chance to fill that hole. And the line would be stacked again for the foreseeable future. Good teams are built from the inside out.

Feels like the ideal trade down spot to me. Banks would be an interesting pickup that I wouldnt be against. Jeanty also wouldnt surprise me if Jerry thinks he can duplicate the Zeke magic from 2016.

Nothing against either Burden or Egbuka, but I'd rather trade down and roll the dice on getting a WR later in round 1 or round 2. Both should be good players, but Burden feels like a bit of a developmental project that high, and Egbuka really looks like a slot guy which may end up pushing him down some of these draft boards. Possible one of those guys is still on the board around pick 20 or so if you move back, and even if not there doesnt seem to be a shortage of those 2nd tier WR prospects this year.

I dont know enough about Barron to really have a strong opinion but most mocks I'm seeing have him anywhere from very late in the 1st to the end of the 2nd round. The scouting reports on him are very interesting though, he could be a guy that starts climbing up the rankings if he does well at the combine and/or senior bowl.

Of the players listed, I'd only be interested in Jeanty and Burden at this point (pre-Combine).

This team doesn't need to spend another high draft pick on the o-line. I would be targeting talent on the d-line and preferably at DT.

Agreed on OL in the first couple of rounds. What they need to address (and this is across multiple positions) is team speed. This is not an explosive team in any way, on either side of the ball. Turpin has speed, but his size will always be a limiting factor. No one else on offense is there a really explosive guy (Lamb is very good after the catch, but he is not especially fast). On defense, who fits that bill? Parsons? Who else?

This team, for whatever reason, does not value the DT position (probably because those jerseys don't move the way the shiny toys do). I'm not counting on them addressing the position with anything other than league average bodies.

Pick needs to be bpa. We are at disadvantage because we don't get to interview. I have heard good things characterwise on Jeanty and Egbuka.

Broaddus is hinting on his podcast that Burden character needs to be looked at. This board would lose its lunch with a slow starting pick at in the first round no matter what the potential is.

DL looks like the sweet spot for Dallas this year. Lots of stud muffins will be available in that early teens range.

The offensive talent this year isn't doing a lot for me. Kelvin Banks is the only guy who I'd be OK with at say #13, who also might make it to #13. But there's like half a dozen DTs and DEs who are deserving of that pick, and they can't all get taken before us.

We need a CB bad. I like Barron or the RB at 11.
