Defensive end/edge rusher, Abdul Carter of Penn State is considered to be the best player in this year’s draft by some and will most likely go somewhere in the top 10. Some mock drafts have Carter going as high as No. 4 overall to New England so if the Cowboys have their eyes on him, they will have to move up quite a bit to do so.

Schottenheimer has got two vets in Matt Eberflus as the defensive coordinator and Nick Sorensen as the special-teams coordinator ... and he's been considering up-and-comer Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach Klayton Adams as the coordinator.

It is the dawn of a new era in Dallas Cowboys football, or so we are to believe. With Brian Schottenheimer taking over as head coach, he has been afforded something his predecessor Mike McCarthy was never seriously given in the end with job security.
