Vela: The (Latest) Case for Dallas to Take a 1st Round OT
Posted by Rafael at Friday, February 18, 2011
This isn't news to any of us on site, but bolsters my belief that Dallas should select an offensive tackle with its first round draft pick. From Wes Bunting's current NFP post on draft rumors comes this:
• The more teams I talk with the less I get the feeling that any top tier offensive tackle prospects are going to make it through the first round. I keep hearing they will be all likely be gone by the time the mid/late 20’s roll around.
Want to go corner or rusher in round one? Want to rely on Sam Young in 2011? Want to risk anything but the most modest of trade-downs?
I don't. If Tyron Smith doesn't Combine workout his way into the top 8, the Cowboys will have their pick of the OT crop. I think they should exercise it.
