Some low round picks Cowboys are showing interest in;

There are a couple intriguing guys on that list

Brian Lainhart, Safety, Kent State 6-1 #210
Career Lainhart’s 17 career interceptions rank second in school history (two shy of Lou Harris’ record) and are the most among active BCS players Contributed to 20 turnovers in a 30 game span (15 interceptions & five fumbles; also causing two other fumbles that were recovered by the opposition) Totaled 344 career tackles

Korey Woods CB Southern Illinois 5-10 # 185 - The athletic Lindsey can shut down an opposing wide receiver or make a big hit on a tight end. He is a two-time selection on the All-Missouri Valley Football Conference First Team, picking off six passes in each of the last two seasons - His quickness, ball skills, change of direction, and fluid hips are among the skills that few corners have making him one of the best in the nation.


Bruce Miller OLB, Central Florida 6-2 #250 He's a sack artist, one that may translate best as an OLB in a 3-4 system in the NFL. – 2010 Started all 14 games and ended the season with 63 tackles including a team-high 13.5 tackles for loss, a team-high 8.5 sacks, two interceptions returned for touchdowns, two pass break-ups, 18 quarterback hurries, and two forced fumbles - Miller joins Adalius Thomas of Southern Miss (1998-99) as the only repeat winners of C-USA Defensive Player of the Year prize. Miller leads all players nationally with his 34 career sacks, a number which matches Florida State's Peter Boulware (1994-96) for the fourth most ever by an FBS player in the talent-rich state of Florida

Brandon Fusco C Slippery Rock 6-4 #305 - Fusco is the most decorated player in Slippery Rock history - winning the Riminigton AND Upshaw Awards as the best center and lineman in D-II, as well as consensus All-American and invitations to the Cactus, Shrine, and NFLPA Game all-star games and the NFL Combine. Fusco was converted from tackle in 2007 and started all 44 games while at The Rock and was team captain in his junior and senior seasons.
Big, smart and physical. Exceptional size for a center, he has long, strong arms that he uses to dominate opposing defenders. Once he 'locks down' it is difficult for the defender to break get around him. In run blocking uses leverage to get under the defender and move him out of the hole - willing and able to make downfield blocks as well. Good balance and footwork in pass protection; able to extend arms and lock-out against the bull-rush. Noted by coaches and teammates as leader and strong-off season worker

Derek Newton OT Arkansas St. 6-5 #310 He's quite mobile and agile, very athletic he can zone out and combo block, he moves smoothly to the second level and gets his hat on moving targets, LBs and DBs, Newton has some physical tools to work with, however he is not as polished as you’d like in his pass protection footwork. There is no doubt he needs to be bulked up and coached up
 
So is this really a list of players the Cowboys are showing interest in, or is this a list of small-school players scout.com thinks Dallas should be looking at?
 
Bruce Miller is an interesting prospect. Wouldn't mind seeing him battle it out with Brandon Williams

Dallas is drafting 9th in every round. There is NO good reason to NOT be drafting top tier (can't miss type) offensive lineman and/or NT in the first three rounds. We drafted at 20 or later in every round for years so we HAD to draft sleepers who had potential. Our biggest problem is that we don't know HOW to draft good lineman and let can't miss OL studs like Loadholt go by for some stupid reason. If we don't address the OL and NT this year, the Boys deserve to SUCK on Offense for another year. Why put ALL this pressure on OLD guys on the OL to produce when they're ALL over 30yrs of age and NON-explosive (except for D. Free). Draft a young stud OT at pick #9 and a young stud OG at pick #40 and a young mammoth NT in the 3rd Rd. We can pick up a big BACK in the 4th RD or 5th RD to instantly upgrade our OL and RB corps with explosiveness and speed in one offseason. With Romo and our star-studded WR corps, our Offense would be set. Let Ryan fix the Defense by having Jerry sign some of the Cleveland guys that were recently CUT for depth purposes especially if Ryan thinks they can still play at a high level (albeit for less salary).

Not too crazy about looking at those type of developmental offensive linemen. That ship has sailed, imo. That philosophy isn't cutting it. Do the Cowboys really need more Robert Brewsters? I sure hope they get away from non-athletic OTs like Sam Young and James Marten. Why does Mark Colombo have to be the template? Those guys are nothing more than a poor man's Mark Colombo. Space isn't their friend, and they lack Colombo's strength when Colombo had his strength. Marten wasn't strong and wasn't athletic, so he was a bust in round 3.

They need an OT now.

They need a LG now.

Tyron Smith is what the team needs, imo. That would be a great team building move and an investment in the offensive skill players' bank accounts.

I hope Jason Pinkston gets looked at good, because he would be a great fit at LG and could probably start at some point in 2011. Now, that is an OT who can kick to guard and get it done, imo. Not Robert Brewster.. Pinkston is big, strong, and very athletic.

Smith and Pinkston are two players who can win at the point, get a good push, and get to the second level for Felix Jones.

Get out of here
You make too much sense for JJ to ever listen
IMO this is exactly what we need, a meat and potatoes draft
