I know a lot of people will think this is overkill, but the Dline is going to need some major revamping in the offseason. I was hoping Dallas could sign mid tier free agents like Linval Joseph and Lamar Houston, but this team has no cap room in 2014. Last thing I want to see is the team restructure more contracts on underperforming players. Ware is a goner and Hatcher is going to sign somewhere else. Spencer will probably sign a cheap deal, but Dallas doesn't have the cap room for that.
This is what our draft should look like.
Round 1 There will be a lot of intriguing names right around here when Dallas picks. Stephen Tuitt, RaShede Hageman, and Louis Nix are all possible picks. It will come down to who of these three is available when Dallas picks. Make no mistake, Dallas must take the number 1 rated tackle on the board when they pick here. I think Dallas will have to go with Hageman as Tuit and Nix go before Dallas has a crack at them. Hageman is still a nice consolation price though. If all three guys are gone Dallas should go with the best player available. You don't want to reach for a DT just because you need one. Alternate picks could be Mosley or HaHa Cinton-Dix if teams make a run on DTs . Most likely pick here though is Hageman who should still be there when Dallas is on the podium.
Round 2 Again Dallas needs to take the best remaining DT on the board. The think I like most about Hageman is his size, power, and speed. He could easily be moved to either the 3 tech or 1 tech spot depending on who is available. Targets on this round would be Kelcy Quarles, Anthony Johnson, Ego Ferguson, Timmy Jernigan and DaQuan Jones. I would like to pair Hageman with Quarles but I think he will get plucked right before Dallas picks. I think Dallas will take Anthony Johnson or Ego Ferguson who should still be there. They have a great combination of size and power, but were not as dominant at LSU as I would have liked. Lining them next to Hageman though should free one of them to make plays. Another interesting way to go would be take Jones. He is more suited to play 1 tech and would allow Hageman to play the 3. I do not like Sutton who gained too much weight. If he could shed weight and get down to last years weight, I would change my mind.
Round 3 This is where it gets interesting. Who will be the best available pass rushing DE? Will Kareem Martin still be here or would he have been plucked right before Dallas picked? I think Martin might still be here if underclassmen like Ray Drew declare. If Martin goes Dallas could consider Jeffcoat who was ultra productive in college or George Uko who is a little bigger.
Round 4 Again who is going to be the best DE available in this round? Sometimes players slide down based on other teams needs. Taylor Hart, George Uko, DeMarucs Lawrence. There should still be some good available DEs here. I prefer Hart who has the best size and speed ratio.
These are the 2 mocks I will post. The first mock is the one that I hope happens.
1st round Louis Nix DT
2nd round Kelcy Quarles DT
3rd round Kareem Martin DE
4th round Taylor Hart DE
This would be the ideal draft. Dallas would get 2 passrushers in Quarles and Martin. Nix and Hart while big players still have some good speed.
This is the mock that I think is the most realistic and therefore most likely to happen.
1st round Ra'Shede Hageman DT
2nd round Ego Ferguson DT
3rd round George Uko DE
4th round Taylor Hart DE
In this mock Nix, Quarles, and Martin go before Dallas can pick. The players picked instead are nice consolation prices. I was tempted to go with Jackson Jeffcoat in the 3rd, but I had flashbacks of Wilber getting pancaked. Uko is still a good passrusher but doesn't have the ceiling of Martin. All four players are ready to play now and do not need to put on weight. I think this is important because Dallas cannot wait for the young lineman to develop. They have to be ready to play now. Hageman and Ferguson are very fast for interior players. Uko and Hart are decent athletes but do not have the burst of players like Martin or Jeffcoat.
