Quick Prediction
Cowboys trade down and draft an offensive lineman, probably a right tackle to replace the run down Marc Colombo. Same could be said for LG, Kyle Kosier’s durability is in questions and an early pick in the 1st or 2nd could address this as well. To me the “Cowboy Way” is smash mouth, mauling offensive lineman, and right now the Cowboys are missing that Erik Williams, Larry Allen player. Look for Garrett to find his guy in this draft, someone nasty.
