I'm there with ya. But I would still like to see at least one or two picks in the coming draft used on the offensive line. Doesn't have to be the #1 obviously, but I think we can use some depth and future options.

I agree. IMO, the BPA approach is very nice to have, but your maneuver to get to the best OL or DL in the first two rounds...trade up/trade down to benefit the team...I am hopeful that they continue to build the OL while vastly improving the defense as a whole...the D, other than at DL, is actually pretty young, they just can't stay healthy...and, the pressure is the key to any defense....get some guys that can do that and it will make the rest of the defense THAT much better

Their approach in recent years appears to be to use trading to match need with BPA in the 1st round and then go BPA in the other rounds. They just need to move Linemen up relative to other players on their draft board.

Offensive line would be the only area I would spend a draft pick. The rest should all go to rebuilding this defense in my opinion.

If a really good OL is available, I wouldn't have a problem with the 1st round pick being an OLineman. This draft appears to have more really good OL than DL.

There were a couple of times that the coordinator put the offensive line in a bad position, and/or Romo should have released the ball fast or thrown it away. A couple of times during the game, IIRC, they sent more defenders than we could block. In a situation like that, you either audible into a hot read, take the hot read, or just throw it away.

I sure won't have a problem with it if the quality player is there.
