Fourth Round

And the Dallas Cowboys select…

Dan Skipper, OT, Arkansas

Dan Skipper is a monster of a man, checking in at 6’10”, 320 pounds.

Arkansas used him as a left tackle this season, but I see him as more of a right tackle at the pro level.

He isn’t the quickest off the ball, but he does show power and above average hand usage.

I think he could fit nicely next to Zack Martin on the right side of the line as Doug Free‘s eventual replacement.

Immediately he could be used in the run game, as that is where he shines in college.

Give him a year or two with the Cowboys coaches and he should become a good pass blocker as well.

He could complete The Great Wall of Dallas.
