Say we keep 10. Take a look at possibly 6 of them:

Lawrence
Gregory
Russell
Gardner
Whaley
Bishop

All first or second year guys. Rod is going to be able to send these guys in waves. Can't wait to see how it all pans out.

If all pans out well, and shows improvement as the OL has. The trenches will be set for years on both sides of the ball.

Boy they have done an incredible job with the trenches in a very brief time.

We need one more draft for d-line...

People are too consumed with the 1 technique being an all pro player. We're probably set with defensive line depending on how they develop.

We need to focus the draft on the secondary next year, and outside of that, the team really doesn't have any holes.

Still think we are 1 good DT away, but other than that I'm very happy with the turnaround.

Hardy isn't an old man himself. He's only 26. Crawford is only 25. The DL is loaded with youth AND talent

Yeah, I'm looking forward to them starting work on the OL... oh, wait...

Seriously though, if Gregory and Lawrence pan out that is going to mean Dallas has completely reworked both lines and filled them with young, great players.

You might as well say they have redone the LB's too, and started work on the secondary this year.

Wow, really nice to have a well run, team that consistently gets home runs and doubles in the draft.

We might have both of our starting lines for the next few years already on the roster

Offensive line - Smith (24), Collins (21), Frederick (24), Martin (24), Green (23) - Average age: 23.2
Defensive line - Gregory (22), Crawford (25), Bishop (24), Lawrence (23) - Average age: 23.5

Cowboys already started on improving the secondary with Byron Jones pick. Cowboys were horrid stopping run last couple of seasons, a rock in the middle would be the missing piece on this young and talented DL.

My friend was telling me how bad the cowboys defense was.... Doesn't realize how much turnover there has been. Best defensive end last year is probably our worst defensive end this year (out of 4)
