What should the Cowboys do if both Fletcher Cox & David Decastro are gone at 14?

The latest draft buzz suggest Cox will go in the top 10 while Decastro is gone at 11 or 12.  What does Dallas do if their top defensive and offensive line prospects are off the board.

Lets first do a recap of who should be available at 14 in this scenario.

Offensively you have Cordy Glenn, a guard/tackle prospect from Georgia and Peter Konz, center from Wisconsin.  Glenn is considered an elite guard and an above average prospect at tackle while Konz is the top center but not on the elite level.

Defensively you have your pickings of Michael Brockers, DT from LSU, Quinton Coples, DE from UNC, Courtney Upshaw and Mark Barron from Alabama.

Trading down is always an option but not here for the purposes of our discussion.  So who do you take, the offensive lineman despite addressing the line in free agency or go defense with potential, talent or need?

I argue you should select Michael Brockers, the 3-4 defensive prospect from LSU, to fill a need with tremendous potential but not yet a finished product. Defensive lineman with upside are a valued asset and don't fall far in the draft.

That statement could also suggest making a play on another defensive lineman, Coples from UNC instead of Brockers. He has the tools to get after the QB and be a 3 down lineman ideally suited for a 4-3 scheme but could be a 5 technique or even stand up in a 3-4. The main reason I look past Coples is his attitude, he's getting grouped into the knucklehead category and a red flag for character. I also downgrade him since he doesn't project to fit into Rob Ryan's 3-4 scheme.

The most common prospect associated with Dallas lately is safety Mark Barron from Alabama. I would not select a safety in the first round unless he's got playmaking skills causing turnovers. Barron played the easiest position in all of college football as safety behind the best defense in the land in the worst quarterback play conference. He was rarely ever challenged and QBs didn't have the time to throw against the Tide.

I do not even have Dontari Poe with a first round grade, shows all the signs of a workout warrior and Dallas should look elsewhere in the opening round.

Ideally I want Fletcher Cox in the first round, target Bruce Irvin, Peter Konz, Amini Silatolu, Shea McClellin in the second. A name to keep in mind for the 3rd round is Harrison Smith, safety from Notre Dame and Kelechi Osemele, guard from Iowa State, if the offensive line has not been addressed yet. You can also go wide receive in hopes of finding a replacement for Laurent Robinson in Jarius Wright, slot receiver from Arkansas.
