Dallas' front 7 was pretty tight before the draft. There need is on the offensive line. If Spencer works out, great for them but that won't make them a threat to go to the Super Bowl.
Marten and Free were drafted to replace Adams next year and Columbo the following year.
This also allows a guy named Pat McQuistan, a 7th rounder from last years draft, to slide to LG and compete with Kyle Kosier.
As you may now, we resigned out PB alternate C Gurode and RT Columbo and broke the bank to sign Leonard Davis.
We got finally numbers and quality prospects

You don't really believe that Davis and a 7th rounder are the final pieces to the puzzle do you?
Larry Allen has more talent in his nutsack than Leonard Davis and you couldn't get anywhere when Allen was your guard.

Dallas needed a Bookend for Ware since Ellis is coming off of Achilles surgery.
They did well to get Cleveland 1st next year while getting the bookend to Ware before the Pats did...But 5Rings, isn't it going to be hard for anyone, including Spencer, to be as productive as Ellis was for you guys last year.
Seems like a lateral move to me, as a best case scenario.

I like Davis @ OG only--he's a human turnstile @ either OT spot as evidenced by his stay in AZ.
I have to admit, when we signed him (before resigning Columbo) I was deeply concerned with him @ OT going yp against Strahan, Umenyiora, Kearse, Tren Cole and even Daniels
Kosier, according to what our OL coach says, graded out as our most efficent blocker
The 7th rounder from last year provides a reminder to Kosier to continue to play @ a high level and depth as do Free and Marten
LA is a once in 25 year kinda guy.
He was a pro bowler @ 3 different OL positions, including LT in '98. before he got too involved in power lifting--he lost his agility his last 4 years while in Dallas
LA in his prime and John Hannah (IMO) were the 2 best guards in NFL history

Im quite pleased
I liked our draft
And the Cleveland trade somewhat helps erase the memory of the Joey Galloway trade of 7 years ago

The worst part was that Dallas picked up an additional number one next year while drafting the guy they were going to take anyway.

Apparently the Cowboys are hoping to package those picks next year in an attempt to move up and take Arkansas RB Darren McFadden, whos been described by some as an LT type back.

The cow-not-quite-men got another "character-issue" man in the first. Kind of blends in with the not-quite-men part!
