Free Security
We have had big problems in free security the last three seasons.
since Darren Woodson retired. This need must be filled for free
agency or the first two rounds of the draft. The free agent market
seems empty with Deon Grant and Kevin Kaesviharn being the only ones
suitable options. The draft is extraordinarily deep with free safety.
There are five prospects capable of entering and handling the FS
position from day 1. These guys are Reggie Nelson, LaRon
Landry, Michael Griffin, Eric Weddle and Brandon Meriweather. Yo
I think we covered this need in the draft as there are so many good FS
prospects
Guard
I think Marco Rivera has already left after blowing another record.
in her back. He is 35 years old and we know how badly he played his first
season with a back problem. Kyle Kosier is a good starting quality
shooting guard, but you have problems if he is the best shooting guard on your team. Yo
I think we will spend a lot of money on guard. Kris Dielman or Eric
Steinbach are both intriguing options. If we wait until the draft, I
I’d suspect we’d spend a first- or second-round pick on a guard.
Basically, we have to pick up a security or a guard for free.

Veteran QB
This position really needs to be filled, but I can’t put any backup
position as a duty to fill. However, we will definitely sign one.
Tim Rattay seems to be the perfect shot. he has a very good career

outside linebacker
Even with the return of Greg Ellis, we need some depth at OLB.
Coming back from a torn Achilles tendon on the wrong side of 30
It’s always hard. Guys like Kevin Burnett could thrive under
Wade Phillips, but the bottom line is that no one on this list stepped foot
when Ellis fell so I don’t see how we can move on to the next
season with the same group of guys. I really like the idea of
signed Tully Banta-Cain. She’s not a superstar, but she’s a good
solid guy capable of giving you 5-8 sacks per season. he wouldn’t
would cost too much, and his signing would not alienate Greg Ellis as
signing Adalius Thomas or LaVar Arrington would.
nose entrance
Jason Ferguson was probably the best Cowboys player in
defending. He will be able to play at least two more seasons, but
we need to start developing a young guy in NT since we seem
He bet on 3-4 in the long run. We don’t just need a young
NT to fix, but we need another type for depth purposes
because we’d be in trouble if Jason Ferguson got hurt by a

wide receiver
This is a must no matter what happens with Terrell Owens. Us
needs to start developing a young receiver who can team up with
Crayton in the post-Glenn/Owens era. I hope we use a first
choice of the day in a fast and wide exit.

BackupCenter
I guess we will re-sign Andre Gurode because
be stupid for not doing it. A proven backup or first day option
in a center it would be great. However, if not, we could do it with
current players Joe Berger and EJ Whitley fighting for
the place of the center of support.

Aaron Glenn can’t play forever. I think Jacques Reeves is
capable of being a nickel corner, but I wouldn’t bet a lot of money on
he. You can never have enough cornerbacks and we haven’t.

safety, then the cornerback would replace safety as a duty.
offensive tackle
I’m pretty happy with our tackle situation. Enter Flozell Adams
the last year of his contract, but I see no reason not to extend his
contract. Even if we don’t, we can use his salary to sign a younger player.

because I think it will only get better with more experience. Tea
The old coaching staff loved Pat McQuistan and Jason Fabini is a
awesome veteran endorsement. If we keep Colombo, I see little reason

off the list.
project QB
I would love it if we could spend a first day of selection in a
potential starting quarterback in case Tony Romo isn’t the one
player I think he is. Even if Romo is good, and if you find the next
Matt Schaub, you will get a lot in return. this wish
should only be filled out if all other positions on this list have been
filled.
