Gosselin:
I think, if the Cowboys' draft is boring, it'll be successful. If you just fill needs, people might think it's boring, but it'll actually help improve your football team.
Gosselin: And they're going to have options because they have so many needs. When they're sitting there on the clock at 14, they could take the best corner on the board and upgrade themselves, they could take the best pass rusher on the board and upgrade themselves, they could take the best interior blocker on the board and upgrade themselves. I think the safest pick there may be the guard, David DeCastro of Stanford, if he's available. And yet that would make two straight years the Cowboys have drafted offensive linemen. And like you said, that's not very sexy. This is a franchise that likes to make noise and clang the cymbals.
Yeah, who would want to build in the trenches, back to back years?
Gosselin: DeCastro is the safest, may be the best pick. You look at Tony Romo, he's 32 this fall. He's got probably a window of two years left as an elite quarterback. They've got to maximize Romo in these next two seasons. Last year, he had no confidence with the interior of his line. You plug in a DeCastro, a guard with some size, I think Tony Romo is a better quarterback. And the whole thing hinges on Romo. They think he's the guy whose going to lead them to the promised land. They've got to get him comfortable again. That wouldn't solve the cornerback and the pass-rush issues, but it would make Romo a better player.
