Assuming all 5 of top OL are gone at 18, would you pick Fluker, one of the remaining DL or Vacarro? I think Fluker has the most impact on this team over the next 5 years. The only knock on him is that he can't play LT. If we get Fluker, we can release free, and then have the money to sign our draft picks.... Thoughts?
I'd take the best offensive lineman on the board regardless of position. If guards Cooper and Warmack are gone and Fluker's there, I'd take Fluker. Smith is your left tackle. Fluker would pencil in on the right side anyway. I'd ask Free to take a pay cut and if he doesn't, I'd tell him good-bye. Regarding Free's money, if you don't have the money available under your cap, you cannot draft. It's that simple. So neither the Spears nor the Free money would impact the ability to draft players. The Romo contract freed up the money for the Cowboys to draft.
I hear Fluker could have trouble with speed rushers. What are you hearing?
I'd be real concerned if he was my left tackle. That's the speed side. But Fluker would pencil in at right tackle. The right side is the power side. He also has a tight end over there if he needs any help.
If Gino Smith drops to 18 - do the Cowboys take him?
He won't drop to 18 nor would the Cowboys take him. There will be other options available that would make this team more competitive in the short term. And when you're drawing 90,000 per game -- as the Cowboys did in their last three home dates -- the short term is what matters to Jones.
