The pick from these at #18

[Aliencowboy]

If you have the choice of:
C. Warmack G #2
Cooper G #16
Richardson DT #17
Vaccaro S #18
Fluker OT #22

Position/Overall Ranking

I'd eliminate G as a number 1 pick. Low value and these two only play one position. Frederick and Schwanke in later rounds play two positions and at a very high level.

I'd rather see them draft Fluker though there are comments he can't handle speed rushers. I think he'll manage better than fine. This guy has pro-bowl potential. They can move him inside at G if need be. At least he offers flexibility. RKG. Attitude that is sorely needed.

Vaccaro S need is here but I've seen him miss too many tackles in games. Slow 40 time is a concern if you think you are drafting an over the top cover-2 safety.

DT Richardson-guy is a beast, but just a one-year-wonder. Don't know if his attitude and motivation meet the requirements.

Personally, I like Fluker.

If I had to use the pick, Richardson, and I don't look back. Get my T/OG in round two. I probably wouldn't touch S until the 3rd round at the earliest.

Fluker isn't a pick a lot of people would like, but he's got the potential to play OG for us, too. I'd take Cooper and then Warmack over him if I were going OL, though.

Richardson
Cooper
Warmack

in that order. Sorry, at least right now I am not at all a fan of Fluker at 18.
And if the 1st 3 are gone I may be taking calls to trade down some.

Cooper. Best thing that can happen to our defense is our offense having a running game. I'd go safety then DT with value/need/talent with us not trading in draft.

Cooper. It's funny how Cowboys fans constantly whine about the O-Line and then don't want to spend high draft picks to fix it..

Fluker OT #22

Cooper is perfect for the Cowboys offense. You couldn't draw up a better OG for the Zone Blocking Scheme. Also, many people believe that he can play Center.

If Richardson falls to #18, it's because his character issues did not check out OK.

Despite the hype, Warmack has athletic limitations. He could have pass-protection issues in an NFL type of offense.

I just don't see Vacarro as that much better than some of the other Safeties in this draft.

Fluker has slow feet for an OT. He could be a dominant OG in a man-blocking scheme; however, Callahan is implementing a Zone Blocking Scheme.

 

[9darter]

For me:

1) Cooper - I want him bad
2) Richardson - Without the question marks, I want him over Cooper
3) Warmack - I'm happy if he's the pick
4) Trade down
5) Vaccaro - Don't want him at 18

I won't take Fluker in the second round.

I do not like Fluker, so he wouldn't even be on my board, don't see him as a OT in a pass first team. He would fit great with Vikings or Seattle but not Dallas.

I would take Richardson due to pass rush is #1 thing. Cooper and Warmack might have a higher grade but not high enough to pass on Richardson.

1 Richardson DT #17 - esp with the cut of Spears

2 Cooper G

3 Vaccaro

4 Warmack

Fluker don't want him plodding around

 

[Aliencowboy]

Great comments. Thanks.

Most people went with Cooper. I think he's a great guard
and fits the scheme too. However,

I'd just be really surprised to see them actually pick a G in the first round. I'm guessing whatever financial scheme they are working with doesn't involve paying big money for a guard.

Another option is trade back and pick the small school OT Terron Armstead or maybe if he shows up big at his scheduled work with Dallas take him at #18.

I don't think the posters in this thread who'd go DL first are the group that does much OL whining in general.

The OL needs to improve, but you can do that in VFA and in round 2.

I'm more big on focusing on the defensive line and adding Richardson would help us immensely. However, I wouldn't object to picking either Cooper or Warmack, especially Cooper since he adds versatility by playing center as well. This guard class is deep so I believe we could find a G/OT in the second round. Same thing with safety as it's a deep safety class and we could find one in the second or third round.

With the new rookie pay scale, drafting an OG, even in the 1st round is cheaper than FA. And if Cooper is that good, why pass on a perennial Pro Bowler because tradition says OGs are easy to find. People said the same thing about guys like Steve Hutchinson and Alan Faneca.

yea but I seen mocks where he is in the top 15

 

[laythewood28]

1. Cooper- tired of seeing Romo planted to the turf the minute the ball is snapped and Murray picking up 2 yards. Guard or center he fills the greatest need.
2.Richardson- A trio of Richardson, Hatcher and Ratliff would be sweet. Let Hatcher and Ratliff battle it out for the other starting spot, the loser backs up both DT spots.
3.Warmack- Doesn't fit our scheme, but still probably better than what we have.
4. Vaccaro- Good player but better value with Cyprien or other safeties with 2nd round pick.
5. Flucker- Don't want him at all.

I'm wanting OG first but if their both gone and Richardson is setting there than nice nice prize thats left. If all 3 gone I pick Fluker plug him in opposite Tyron Smith at other Tackle spot and move Doug Free to Guard. I feel Safety we could get Cyprien possibly in 3rd Round or another Safety. I might even look Safety in Free Agency.

 

[Cowboy_Ace]

I personally would go with either guard, than richardson... But I feel the reason most aren't picking ol because they honestly believe the cowboys won't draft ol this yr in the first unless by miracle one of the top 3 tackles fall... What I think dallas does with the guys we have to choose from... Vacarro than richardson... Jmo
