Review of the current roster as it relates to the 2012 Draft

[xwalker]

This not only address team needs but also considers positions where a late round draft pick would be doubtful to make the team. From the 2011 draft, I don't think Josh Thomas did anything wrong, they just were not going to make room for him unless he far exceeded expectations of a 5th round pick. Maybe it would have been different if they didn't keep 2 kickers.

I think OG and OC are a true need. Maybe you can fill one of the OGs with a expensive FA like Nicks or Grubbs.

CB might not be an issue, one great on would have to fall to me for that to happen. Newman, Scandrick, and Jenkins are playing good this year.

Safety isn't an issue because I don't see a great safety in this draft class and Elam and Sensy have been better than good.

TE is alittle need but not really, his offense is fine with just Witten.

OT only if one falls in the mid rounds but what would a late round OT help. Much rather get a vetern backup.

KR/PR/WR is a true need. Mid rounds.

3-4 DE is a need. Spears isn't a every down starter. I think NT is more of a need becasue you can move Ratliff to DE. Also sign Campbell and you set at DE. Campbell, Spears, Ratliff, and Hatcher as your 3-4 DEs, thats a great rotation.

NT would be a place I would look at in rounds 2-4. Kawann Smart and Sylvester Williams along with a vetern.

OLB I would resign SPencer. There is no gauantee that a late 1st round -3rd round pick can play as good as Spencer.

QB would be nice to groom but not a big big need due to Romo still has a few yers left.

My offseason would be
resign
Spencer
Elam
Sensabaugh
Robinson

FAs
Nicks or Grubbs
Campbell
NT Pauha or Soliai which ever cheaper

Draft
OC
OG
NT
PR/KR/WR
TE

Good breakdown. Gives everybody a good look at the needs or possible needs for the coming year.
