I know chaz Green is favored to start but who's out there that we can get to compete? Or do they think they can trust Cleary?

Cam Robinson in the 1st round... lol that'd make me mad but I'd understand since he was projected as a top 5 pick before this previous season started. We need defense badly tho.

Honestly wouldn't be shocked that he's the pick if the majority of defensive players Dallas might want are off the board already and he's still there. I'm thinking he'll end up going to Seattle first though.

I think they are fine with the OL for now. Unless an OL that falls to us in the draft that is a can't miss player type. They won't draft an OL until the 6th or 7th pick. If any at all.

Green filled in well for Smith at LT last year, and did well, but injuries held him back. I think Cleary did alright too. Was not disastrous.
So between Green, Bell, Cleary and maybe someone else emerges, I think they go into TC and let these guys compete.

Also, has anyone seen officially that Free has retired?

I think you see them draft a guy in the mid to late portion of the draft to develop. Even if Green is your guy, he is your guy for two years then he is a FA. I think they cycle that spot every few years. They will draft Greens replacement in the mid rounds sometime in the next two years. groom him for a year or two. Start him, then rinse/repeat. I think they will do this during the life cycle of Smith/Frederick/Martin

Heck, Cleary could even be that next man up

To add, I think the 4th is the absolute earliest I can see them taking one
