I sure hope we shore up the OL this coming offseason. Romo makes his current protectors look a lot better than they are. As well, I believe that the NFL has become a passing league; you can never have too many weapons, too much pass rush or enough DBs.
1) Mike Iupati (G) - 6'5", 330 - Idaho
Huge, powerful, athletic freak of a mauler. I also like Anthony Davis in this spot, but Iupati looks like a special player to me. Larry Allen, anyone?
2) Damien Williams (WR) - 6'1", 190 - USC
He's pretty big and well-built, quicker than he is fast, polished and NFL-ready. He runs superb routes, creates separation and catches the ball when it's thrown his way. Reminds me a little of Carolina's Steve Smith.
3) Akwasi Owusu-Ansah (CB/S) - 6'1", 195 - Indiana (PA)
Small school All-American with great size and speed to burn. Had 8 INTs and 10 PBUs as a junior, 2 and 4 as a senior. Superb in press man-coverage, with prototypical size, great footwork, closing speed and ball skills. Also thrives in zone schemes as a route-baiting ballhawk. Extremely versatile, playing safety and corner interchangably during his college career, as well as being an explosive kick and punt returner. His only down side is level of competition.
4) Tony Washington (OT) - 6'7", 305 - Abilene Christian
Prototypical left tackle size and athleticism with great feet. He'll be a little bit of a project, but he possesses tremendous skill.
6) James Ruffin (OLB) - 6'4", 264 - Northern Iowa
He started three of his five years as a college football player, redshirting in 2005, member of the Gateway All-Newcomer squad in 2006, first team All-Gateway in 2007, first team All-Missouri Valley and AP FCS All-American in 2009. Won back to back conference Defensive Player of the Year in '08 and '09. Lead the conference this past season with 10.5 sacks. Was a two-year starter in basketball.
7) Erik Cook (C) - 6'6", 318 - New Mexico
Monster center in the Andre Gurode mold.
I also like center J.D. Walton and DE/OLB Brandon Sharpe.
