Obviously, I don't think the team can realistically fill all of the holes on the roster in one offseason.
It is a deep draft for OL and DL although I think we may be surprised at how little the OL is changed. RG might be the only position they seriously attempt to upgrade. A starting OL of Smith-Livings-Costa-?-Parnell wouldn't shock me although it is far from my favorite scenario.
I'm not sure what they do at safety. Immediately after the season, I fully expected them to roll with Sensabaugh, Church and Matt Johnson. With all the talk of the importance of a safety in Kiffin's defense, that might change. I have no doubt that they'll draft a RB.
I think it is realistic that you should be able to get a starter on the OL and DL in 1 and 2 as well as a capable backup to Murray in 3 or 4. I wouldn't be surprised to see them just go with the BPA or gamble on a guy with a lot of upside in either 3 or 4 (wherever they don't take a back).
I think free agency is going to odd around the league this year. With the flat cap, I'm not sure you'll see too many huge deals. It might be a game where, if you are patient, you can get some deals. I think you could do very well find some mid-level free agent vets to fill some holes along the lines of what the Pats have done in years past. I think Spencer may come back if the price is right. If not, I'm not sure they sign a big named free agent and save those cap dollars for future deals for Lee, Smith and Dez.
So, having said all of that....
1) Jonathan Cooper - G - UNC
2) Sylvester Williams or Kawann Short - DT - I'm not sure either will be here, but they're in the area in most rankings
3) Chris Faulk - T - LSU
4) Jawan Jamison - RB - Rutgers
5) A.J. Klein - LB - Iowa State
6) Zach Boren -FB/LB - Ohio State
FA:
Mohamed Massaquoi - WR - He supposedly visited with the Cowboys before he was drafted. He's a bigger guy and Dallas needs someone that can play the outside if Miles or Dez go down. Harris/Beasley/Coale are all probably more slot types. He hasn't done much, but is still young. I think he has struggled with injuries during his career.
Nick Roach - LB - He can step right in at SLB. He's been with the Bears so he can be a locker room guy that helps with the transition to the new defense.
DJ Moore or Kelvin Hayden - CB - Same as above, provides depth.
Glenn Dorsey - DT - He might fare better in a 4-3 defense
