It is no secret that the Dallas Cowboys offensive line isn’t getting it’s job done. If there is one thing I have learned, it’s that there are diamonds in the rough that go undrafted every year. It is also no secret that if you are in a pinch, you can always poach good players from the practice squads of teams who are loaded with depth in a given position. The following is a profile of the best prospects hiding around the NFL.  They all come from teams with excellent offensive lines. If there is one thing this Cowboys offense has been missing, it’s some nasty. All of these guys bring just that.

Jeremiah Warren can play guard or center. He played tackle early in his career, but was better suited as a guard. He is another one of “The Guys No One Was Talking About” that I wrote about prior to the draft. The Patriots watched him work out before the draft, but they didn’t take any O- linemen this year because they were lacking on defense in 2011. Belichick didn’t waste any time snatching him up when he went undrafted because he loves getting former wrestlers for his offensive line. I had him on my board as a late round pick for the Cowboys knowing he wouldn’t go high due to the Big East label. He is very versatile, but he needs to work a little bit on his quickness if he is playing OG for pulling etc. As a center he is a big body in the middle who once he gets his hands on you is very hard to move. He is buried behind one of the best OL’s in the NFL. If you know anything about the Patriots, you know they always have a good eye for OL talent. The fact that Belichick cut at least 3 offensive linemen this year (including a 3 year vet) to keep Warren tells me he is a solid OG/OC. He is currently sitting on the practice squad in in NE and Jeremiah Warren is my top choice for a currently available OG/OC.
