Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer didn't rule out the possibility of selecting an offensive player in the first round of the NFL draft.
Brian Schottenheimer said Monday the Cowboys would be open-minded with considering selecting an offensive player in the first round of the draft.didn't rule out the possibility of selecting an offensive player in the first round of the draft when asked about it from the annual owner's meetings in Phoenix on Monday morning.
That's a phrase Schottenheimer, now entering his second season as a head coach, said multiple times Monday. Selecting an offensive player at No. 12 or No. 20 would probably be one of the best examples. Their defense still has. They also could use a pass rusher and potentially more options at nickel corner despite adding multiple players in free agency.Schottenheimer also said Monday he believes they've done enough in the offseason to be flexible when it comes to how they attack the draft.Advertisement That difference between the offensive and defensive situations makes it hard to believe the Cowboys might use a first-round pick on offense. To their credit, however, they haven't shut that door this offseason.Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones said in January they wouldn't pass on a talented offensive player who fell in their laps, akin to what happened when they. The Cowboys then intended to land a defensive player; instead, they drafted a star receiver who's made the Pro Bowl in five of his first six seasons. There are multiple talented offensive linemen who could be available at both picks No. 12 and No. 20. The same goes for receivers, including Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr., who had a 30 visit with the Cowboys. There's also Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, the clear-cut top running back in the draft and one of the draft's best overall players. Could the Cowboys be tempted to draft someone like him if he fell?"If the best player on the board is clearly an offensive player, then we'll certainly discuss that," Schottenheimer said,"and more than likely, knowing , pull the trigger."11-year-old arrested, accused of shooting another child at Kaufman County school playground
