Yeah, a big , dominant , nasty OL would be great then trade up into the bottom of the 1st or top of the 2nd round to get a good WR. The best of both worlds.My slam dunk pick is actually three names: Isaiah Wynn, Will Hernandez, or James Daniels, because all would solve the left guard issue. I still think that is the one issue the Cowboys have to fix first and with as close to a sure fire starter as possible. All other current needs can be met in round two and later. Give me that stud guard prospect and I will do my happy dance.
Shaking my head: WR Calvin Ridley. You can plug any other wide receiver in there, as well. Dallas is moving away from the traditional model for the passing game (I think, and don’t need to sink a major pick into the position). So many mocks and analyses now say that receiver is the top need, and I just don’t agree, especially with what looks like a lot of second round and on talent at the position. Plus, I am not convinced there is a legit Top-20 wide receiver in the 2018 class right now. I really think there are a bunch of great second round talents but not anyone that just screams at us that they will dominate from day one. It’s like the quarterback group. None of the top four or five candidates are really Top-5 or even Top-10 talents but the scarcity in the league is going to make teams overpay for them.

A big ole nasty OL to move the chainsthere be no argument from me should they scoop up a big dominating dog for the O.L.
as it's an issue that must be addressed, I'll be somewhat disappointed once again seeing the misdirected allocations of prime draft capital resources expended in the first round for it though, the concerted effort in last years draft in the long overdue revamping of the defensive secondary is proving to be rather impressive,,, one more committed surge by the FO in this years draft in rounding out the DEFENSIVE half of the team will reap stellar dividends
* once I recover from hurling my fandom up & going blind,,,I'll Stoke the flames of hatred should a WR be taken at the #19 pick
He who has the most dominating oline ALWAYS has a chance to not only reach the post season..but to win it all. Look at the Jags. They had no right to be in the playoffs last year..but they did because of that oline and a solid run game. The defense was solid as well. It can be done. Football games are not won from the back end up...its the opposite..you win by building the trenches first.A big ole nasty OL to move the chains

WE CAN DO BOTH AT ONCE.Agree with the TRENCH building. But I think we've done enough with the OL with FOUR 1st round talents that we should use another 1st round resource for the OL.
The DL is what will benefit the most with infusion of talent. Jags won because of BOTH lines. Their DL was even more dominating than their OL. IMO, our DL is the one that seriously need 1st round talent.
Hey RaymanI think receivers will not be picked until round 2. Not 1 goes in the first round. Why use a premium pick at 19 when you can get the same exact player value at 50? Miller at 50 is not only the better receiver,but the best value. He reminds me so much of Antonio Brown. In fact..I wouldn't even be mad if we took a TE at 50. As long as its a Jimmy Graham type like Gesicki or Goedert. My dark horse TE is Ian Thomas. Watch out for him in round 3 or 4. Could be a steal.With Hanna now retired,we have work to do.
