Updated draft predictions

The Cowboys draft position is finalized and Taylor Lewan decided to stay in college, so who should the Cowboys go for next?

Dream pick - Luke Joeckel - OT - Texas A&M
This choice is clearly the dream pick, Luke is the top offensive line men in the entire draft. Picking him would really help to make this offensive line better. They would have Smith who is also very good and then they could draft other line man and get some in free agency to make this offensive line one of the best. Tony Romo would then be under much less pressure to throw, which would limit his turnovers. The only problem is he is expected to go very high, and at 18 in the draft I do not think the Cowboys will get away with just giving up one second round pick like last year for Claiborne. It is a possibility but also very likely that it will not happen.



Reasonable Pick - Chance Warmack - OG - Alabama
Warmack is one of the best offensive line man in the entire draft, but the Cowboys would not have to trade to get him. He has great run blocking skills and is excellent at picking up blitzes. Which is exactly what the Cowboys need in order for their offense to really improve. Warmack would be able to start and make a huge impact on this team and could be selected right where the Cowboys are at 18.

Reasonable Pick - John Jenkins - NT - Georgia
The Cowboys run defense was very badly hurt by the end of the season and was one of the main reasons why they lost the NFC East championship game. John Jenkins is huge at 6 foot 3 and 360 pounds and would make an instant impact on this defense. He would be able to use his strength to get right to the quarter back or open up lanes for blitzes. Jenkins will most likely still be there at 18 for the Cowboys to select.

Best available if those are gone
Johnathan Hankins - DT - Ohio State
Hankins is another huge defensive line man who would be great at stopping the run and and opening up lanes to the quarter back. He would also be able to step up and be able to start and make a huge impact on the Cowboys run defense. He will most certainly be on the board for the Cowboys if every body else they were looking at are taken.

Go Cowboys!
