Final 1st Day Draft Predictions

The draft almost never happens like fans would predict, but like past years I will give my final 1st Day Draft Predictions, they could be way off and most likely will be, but here it goes:

#18 - OLB Bobby Carpenter - Ohio State
#49 - DT Rod Wright - Texas
#80 - OG Charles Spencer - Pittsburgh

or
#18 - DE/LB Kamerion Wimbley - FSU
#49 - CB Ko Simpson - S.Carolina
#80 - DT Dusty Dvoracek - Oklahoma

There's no doubt we need a DT somewhere in this year's draft we are thin at DT, OLB is also a concern, Burnett could be a miss from last yrs draft and his injury history may continue, we need someone solid and someone that can come in a play, Carpenter is that player, lets take him.

We signed Marcus Coleman for a one year deal, I believe this means we WILL be looking at a DB early on.

Offensive line will probably be taken in the 3rd or on Day 2.

There's a big fall off in this year's draft from Day 1 and Day 2. I would not mind trading down or completely out of the 1st if we could pick up some 2nd and 3rds, the value seems really good in the 2 and 3rd round this year. Whatever the Cowboys do, I'm sure we will make the right picks that can contribute in our playoff run in 2006 and beyond!

Go Cowboys!
