I think once they go into name brands, I am done. Sauce Gardner is about as high as I will go.

Yahoo:

26. Dallas Cowboys — Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
With Tyron Smith’s future being a weekly question in Dallas, the Cowboys just look at the tape of the Red River Rivalry and find their left tackle of the future in Guyton.
Guyton has a giant frame and the ability to play at both tackle spots. He is a plus-athlete and could make for a formidable left side with star left guard Tyler Smith. Grabbing another interior offensive lineman later in the draft, preferably a center or Zack Martin successor, could help quickly refresh this Cowboys offensive line for the future.

Feh.

This is saying "Hey, the Cowboys need an OL, let me put this guy in there without regard".

Kiper has Cooper Beebe too low. To me, he is OG2.


He would be a solution at LG and allow us to move Tyler Smith and get out of the Tyron guessing game.

He would be an instant plug and play LG.

Depends on what you consider an OG in this class. Like I'd take Fautanu or Barton over him but are they LT's, OG's or centers in Barton's case?

I like the idea of going Beebe or Mahogany in round 2 but I also like the idea of Fautanu or Barton in the first, and obviously you can't go OL back to back.

Beebe is more of a true guard, where Barton, for example, is that guy that will be coveted because he can go anywhere, even talk of being a center. I doubt he is the second one off the board, but in the 2nd, you can get a ten year player. Mahogany's injury history is a little concerning.

We can't get a healthy 10 year player in the 2nd round.

Dammit.

I assume Beebe is the guy I saw next to Kleimann after the game (before the OU game). That's one big ol' country boy.

Agreed, if we're talking pure OG's with no real position flex Beebe might be 1, although I'd take someone like Morgan over him who you could argue is either a LT or OG.

[Plan9Misfit]

I did a quick 3 round mock focusing exclusively on offense via PFF. No o-linemen were available with any of the picks, so I went with skill position players.

 

[NoDak]

Just what we need. Another TE in a premium round.

First and third great. I shit on the second round.

Yeah, not exactly what I was looking for at all. I was hoping that o-line would be there, but nothing was.

I shit on it, too. I wanted o-line or LB. Nothing was available.
