18. Dallas Cowboys: Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina: The Cowboys need to address one of their lines in the first round, and the top guards this year are exceptionally highly rated. So while a tackle might be preferable, there would be nothing wrong with strengthening an area of significant weakness. Of course, you know the Cowboys will trade up for some big-game guy and reduce their inventory of picks again, but assuming common sense prevails this time, a lineman at 18 works fine.

So Kiper KNEW that the Cowboys were going to trade up for Claiborne? I think he's pissed because the Cowboys screwed up his draft board. So now he's covering his ass. Sorry, but how many times under Jones has Jerry moved up in the 1st round? And how many times he's done it in consecutive drafts?

He's a fucking joke. He had us taking Barron for the longest time.

7. Chance WarmackArizona Cardinals (5-11)
COLLEGE: AlabamaAGE: 21HT: 6-3WT: 320POS: G
Analysis: We haven't seen a true guard land in the top 10 since 1997, but roll the tape on Warmack and it's hard to see how he doesn't end the streak. As a run-blocker, this guy improves what you can do in that area the second he steps on the field. In a word, he's dominant. Arizona's pass protection was a disaster early in the season, but very quietly they may have found answers at tackle in Bobby Massie and Nate Potter, who both played much better late in the year. Add Warmack, and you have a young offensive line that could make huge strides in 2013. Obviously, Arizona could be in the market for a QB here, but free agency (or a trade) could fill that void before April.


Didn't Kiper have DeCastro going at either #11 to the Chiefs or #13 to the Cardinals last year? I believe so.
