The Reconstruction Continues... Mock Draft

[geeter]

there is not a OLB in this draft that you can really point at and be reasonably sure he will be a decided upgrade to Spencer........

........Decastro if he is there for the HUGE hole at Guard.

The only ones I think we can count on in the O line now are Killa, maybe, and Arkin, possibly.

We need to give Romo better protection; he was just about killed this year. We cannot wait and HOPE that our current scrubs get better without taking serious action........

.......But we have to stop this BS of always thinking we can go 4th rd and lower and keep restocking the O line. Of all the picks we have had only Free has developed as a starter. One out of almost a dozen in the last 5-6 years. One definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results.

along the same OL of thinking....


and how Wes Bunting has rated the top 5th best pro prospect in draft

1-Luck 2- Claiborne 3- DeCastro 4-Richardson & 5- Konz

definately these are all plug and play choices for many yrs to come

Now, need to protect Romo, since w/o him, the Boys are toast.....

I sense an urgency to build a protective wall around Romo...his health is prime to the future of the Cowboys- this investment is treated like a rag doll by our opponents...jeez

Give Romo some love....get him Nicks (Saints- All Pro-OG) in free agency - DeCastro at 14th and move up from second round into first round and get Konz....that way we're done with the offensive line for remaining Romo yrs in one swoop and OL is also set for a decade.

Smith... Nicks ... Konz ...DeCastro ...Free

Yeah, the defense suffers but lets get it fixed in the following 2 yrs. Not like if we're a player away from the SB with that train wreck.....:bang2:

Robert Mathis or Calais Campbell in FA to replace Spencer.

First Jeremiah Ratliff to OLB now Calais Campbell, wth is going on with this board lately?

there were some back when Spencer was drafted that worried that he just did not have the necessary speed and quickness to be a top rusher in the NFL. This is a case when raw numbers told the story; half a step makes such a huge difference in the NFL vs College.

The big problem with Spencer is that he doesn't have elite speed, elite power or good pass rush moves. You usually need at least one of those skills to be a good pass rusher and a great pass rusher usually has two of them. The true elite might have all 3 but that is very rare.

It is only this year that Ware really started to show some more moves as a pass rusher with his interior counter move.

Spencer can't get by OTs with burst around the edge, he can't overpower them and he just ends up handfighting them most of the time. Most of his pressures and sacks occur from him pursuing a play or cleaning up someone else's pressure. That's why he is so bad in this role and why we have to seek to upgrade the pressure upfront.

We can keep Spencer at OLB but then we either have to find someone else to be the edge rusher or find another disruptive player for put in at DT. The best candidates in the first round are likely Ingram and Brockers.
