Why Cowboys Should Draft Him: The Cowboys most glaring need last year belonged in the Defensive backfield at the Safety position. Lets be honest Barron is a huge upgrade from Abram Elam at the Strong Saftey position, with Abram gone the Cowboys are looking for a playmaker to compliment Gerald Sensabaugh in the Defenisve backfield. The Cowboys ranked 23rd in the NFL in pass defense last year, at Alabama last year Barron led the no. 1 pass defense in the nation, finishing his career off with12 interceptions good for no. 8 all time in Alabama history. Barron is a heady playmaker whose combination of smarts, coverage and tackling skills could help sure up a shaky Cowboys secondary.
2. David Decastro OG, Standford
| Height / Weight: 6-5 / 310 |
Production: : Started all 39 games at the right guard position during his three-year career...two-time first team all-conference selection...unanimous All-America selection in 2011...blocking skills in the run game helped Stanford amass three of the top four single-season rushing totals in school history...helped anchor an offensive line that allowed just 24 sacks over a three-year span (2009-11)...pass protection aided quarterback Andrew Luck establish school career records for passing efficiency, completion percentage and touchdowns.
Why Cowboys Should Draft Him: At Left Guard Decastro, can team up with Rookie OT Tyron Smith to form one of the most powerful, talented, young left side offensive line tandems in the NFL Bill Nagy did not cut it last year and despite the off-season additions of OG's Nate Livings, and Mackenzie Bernadeau it would really help the Cowboys to add a potential Pro-Bowler in the mix to help sure up a Cowboys offensive line that proved to be its biggest offensive weakness in 2011.
3. Michael Brockers DT, LSU
Height/Weight: 6'6/306
Production: Spent three years with the Tigers before declaring for the NFL following his redshirt sophomore season ... Dominating interior defensive lineman who was a tremendous run stuffer during his two years of playing at LSU ... Played in 27 games with 15 starts, including all 14 games in 2011 ... Finished his career with 79 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks ... Earned second-team All-SEC honors as a sophomore in 2011.
Why Cowboys Should Draft Him: Kenyon Coleman is getting old. With the Cowboys looking to move All Pro Defensive Tackle Jay Ratliff to Defensive End to form a more formidable pass rush, a huge run stuffing Nose Tackle looks like a glaring need that could help bring some stability to the Cowboys Defensive Line.
