1st round -- Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State

It's time we stopped screwing around with the QB position and start grooming the heir apparent to Romo. Yes, we have an idea of what we have in Romo, or should, but you still just don't let him walk. Mike Glennon is your prototypical, 6'5 pocket passer with a rocket arm; so you don't necessarily have to create throwing lanes as the guy can already scan the field better just with his height alone and with his arm, you don't have to worry about too many passes sailing on him. Drafting him and re-signing Romo is two-fold to where you get the successor in here and let him sit back and soak in the playbook and NFL game for a couple of years.

2nd round -- Dallas Thomas, OL, Tennessee

If you're bringing in the heir apparent at QB and re-signing Romo, you might as well start building up the Oline. Dallas Thomas and Tyron Smith give you a nice left-side as you get 2, athletic movers there. So we shore about a quarter of the line for at least the next 5 years.

3rd round -- Sean Porter, OLB, Texas A&M

This Defense needs a pass-rush in the worst way regardless of what we do with Anthony Spencer, who should be franchised again IMO. Porter isn't your prototypical OLB because in addition to rushing the passer, he can even move out into the slot and clog up the throwing lanes in the middle of the field. You can forget about any hesitancy coming from him facing Washington's zone-read offense because he has the speed to cause lots of trouble there.

4th round -- Jordan Hill, DT, Penn State

A bowling ball wrecker with initial burst who does a great job of hand-fighting with Olinemen. His motor never stops.

5th round -- Abry Jones, DL, Georgia

Versatile Dlineman has predominantly played DE at Georgia although he's slid inside to DT on occasion. Quick with good power.

6th -- Manase Foketi, OT, West Texas A&M

Raw, but supremely quick and large OT.

I don't know enough about Glennon, and his name only started to get thrown around it seems literally today. Also, he played pretty poorly in his bowl game. And Wade Wilson is a shitty QB coach.

I would've liked to have seen another Olineman in there, but really... we need the bodies at Dline as well so. Maybe switch out an Olineman in the fourth with a Dlineman in the 6th. We seem better able to identify late round Dlineman than we do Olineman (Brent/Ratliff/Lissemore).

I get a Matt Schaub type vibe off Glennon but that means I'd take a chance on him in the 2nd round and coach him up for a few years. Too bad for us that he looks now like he's going 1st round and we have Wade Wilson and Jason Garrett to coach him.

Solid picks 2 thru 5. I don't know anything about your 6th rounder.

Fuck, I forgot about Wade Wilson being so shitty. But we have to do something.

If someone in college doesn't hire him as their OC (very likely) or even HC (not likely) I would love for the Cowboys to look into signing Jeff Tedford as our new QB coach.

Tedford has been integral in the development of six quarterbacks that became first-round picks in the NFL Draft - Kyle Boller, David Carr, Trent Dilfer, Joey Harrington, Aaron Rodgers and Akili Smith.

Anyone who can make Akili Smith look good is okay in my book. Seriously though, at coaching clinics/seminars, many coaches refer to Tedford as the go-to-guy as far as Quarterbacks. Romo definitely needs a change and Wilson has never impressed me.

I wouldnt be so sure Wilson is here next year.
