Look ahead to the draft

The Cowboys obviously have holes in their roster, but how should they draft to fix them? Here is a run down of what they should do for the 2013 NFL draft

1st round
Draft an offensive lineman
In 2011 the Cowboys drafted offensive lineman Tyron Smith in the first round and he was a very good pick. He is probably the best offensive lineman on the team. So why not get another in the first round? Another solid o-lineman would really help anchor the the line.

2nd round
Defensive end
This one is tough, because depending on which o-lineman is still available or which d-lineman are still available. Because yes the offensive line needs a lot of work, but the Cowboys still have a little concern at the defending the run game. Another solid defender would make it a lot better

3rd round
Wide receiver
The Cowboys do not have a whole lot of options past their 3rd wide receiver Kevin Ogletree. So if Austin or Dez got hurt, there may be a concern. So picking up a wide receiver here would be smart because its not a real high pick, but the Cowboys could get lucky and find a breakout player.

4th round
Offensive lineman
Again the Cowboys need lots of help up front, drafting more o-lineman is necessary in order to get it solid.

5th/6th/7th
In these rounds the Cowboys should try to find more offensive lineman and more defensive lineman to really fill the holes. But maybe another running back wouldn't be a bad option to try to give it to someone other then Murray. Another possibility is a Quarterback, Romo is aging and is still inconsistent. Is it time to find a replacement?

Free agency
Wide receivers, offensive lineman, defensive lineman. To try and find someone with a hidden talent like Miles Austin, and to find solid backups.
