There are infinite ways the first round could play out given there are 23 picks before the Cowboys. Dallas could trade up, trade back, or a player could fall to them that they never expected. Below are a few names to keep an eye on that make sense for the Cowboys based on need and interest. This list is littered with offensive lineman as the Cowboys could bolster the trenches.

• Zion Johnson, OL, Boston College
• Kenyon Green, OL, Texas A&M
• Tyler Linderbaum, OL, Iowa
• Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
• Trevor Penning, OL, Northern Iowa
• Logan Hall, DL, Houston

With the NFL Draft rapidly approaching, expect lots of rumors to swirl about trades and players. The guessing game is part of what makes the NFL Draft so much fun. I will be active on this comment threat tomorrow during the draft and look forward to getting things underway!
