1st (18)-- Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State

I went back and forth between Glennon and bevy of OLBs such as Dion Jordan, Alex Okafor and Ezekial Ansah here, but I think this makes more sense; you can find pass-rushers in almost any draft and while people are knocking this QB class, next year's may be even worse. Re-sign Romo and get the future of the franchise in here. Glennon has some things he needs to work on, but if he puts it together he has the potential to be a real good one with his physical skill-set.

2nd (50) -- Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin

This guy is huge; 6'4" about 335lbs and has played both OG and C. Wisconsin coaches rave about his football IQ and I think this has hurt us more than anything these last few years, being without a capable center of giving you both the ability to line up everybody and recognize what the defense is going to bring, which Romo has been doing for the line since time began almost, and the physical ability to knock guys around in the running game.

3rd (81) -- Jordan Reed, TE, Florida

Reed gives us our version of San Francisco TE Delani Walker as a matchup nightmare for opposing Ds opposite of Jason Witten. He runs like a gazelle out there and does a good job of blocking in the running game, though he needs work on his technique. I like James Hanna, but he appears to be simply a wrinkle that you can throw out there lining him up in the slot, as opposed to a 3-down starter.

4th (113) -- Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina

A tall, mammoth OT with quick, active feet who does a great job of mirroring the pass-rusher. Moves real well downfield too but needs to do a better job of hitting targets.

5th (153) -- Josh Boyd, DT, Mississippi State

A slightly poor man's version of Fletcher Cox as he has the same, if not better, initial explosion at the snap of the football, but is less agile.

6th (188) -- Larry Webster, DE, Bloomsburg

Very, very raw football player. Played 4 years of college basketball only and then decided to try out football for this fall season where he dominated the Division 2 level to the tune of 15 tackles for loss, including 13.5 sacks. Is a tall, rangy athlete with a good initial first step.

I like the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and especially the 6th.

Hate, hate, hate the 1st.

Big fan of Frederick. Started looking into him once he declared yesterday, and have been toying with a new mock that I;ll probably put in my sig or something.

Any of you all watching the U.S. Army High School ALL-AMERICAN Bowl?

Hey cmd... what do you know about this kid Kenny Bigelow? He just got the opening play sack, and he's committed to USC. Big kid at DT.

USC had 13 commitments at US Army game and 2 more at Under Armour game Friday, meaning all 15 of our current commits played in the 2 elite games.

Bigelow is a stud as are Jalen Ramsey(CB) and Su'a Cravens(S). In 2 years whoever the new USC coach is, he'll have serious talent on D.

We.Do.Not.Need.Another.TE.

Especially in the 3rd round. Will be just another glorified blocker with limited opportunities as long as Witten is healthy and performing at a high level. Let Hanna play 2nd fiddle.

I like all the picks but 1st and 3rd.

I agree with the above posters about the TE position. Would hate to see us throw another early pick there when its not even close to being a need.

As for the QB, I don't feel like we have the luxury to make that pick. Too many needs and not worth the QB controversy it would create.

Developing somone to take over when Romo is done really isnt a luxury, its smart preparation.

And there'd only be a QB controversy if Romo continues to have class A fuckup games like he didnt against Chicago and Washington. If Romo plays solid football, the #3 guy is just there biding his time and learning.

You're being naive if you really think that. Romo could have one tiny mistake at this point and these dumbass fans would be calling for his head. Think Tebow-Sanchez x3.

And yes, in a perfect world it would ideal to draft a QB to take over for Romo but its not. Its the furthest thing from it here in Dallas. We have a lot more pressing needs than future QB. Spending a high pick on a project player is not in this teams best interest for winning now.
