No. 5 offensive lineman: Travis Frederick
Position: Center
Height/weight: 6-foot-4, 330 pounds
School: Wisconsin
Why he's on the radar: Despite signing Phil Costa to a new contract and restructuring Ryan Cook's deal, the play from the Cowboys' centers was average in 2012. Costa and Cook dealt with health problems last season and that can't happen again if the Cowboys expect some consistency along the interior of the line.
Projection: Second round
Stretch Truths: Started all 13 games at center his senior year and played at guard some as a junior. ... Lacks good balance and feet and is top-heavy. He gets yanked out of his chair when trying to pass protect (sit and anchor). ... While playing guard as a junior, lacked feet to get to the second-level block. That concerns me as a center. ... Doesn't show power in his lower body. ... Not real strong with his punch in pass protection.
