BTB kicks off a series looking at the 2014 draft's projected top players at positions where the Cowboys have present and future needs.

In the past two seasons, Jason Garrett has been one of the NFL's least aggressive coaches. A closer look suggests that this is a direct byproduct of the Cowboys' offensive line play.

OT Doug Free has agreed to a pay cut, reportedly inking a two-year deal in the range of 3.5 million per annum. Additionally, the team cut offensive lineman D.J. Hall and added journeyman defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove.

The Cowboys went into this offseason with far fewer holes than in 2012 - and with far fewer resources to fill those holes. Nevertheless, they spent wisely, managing to get good value, for their dollars as well as their draft picks.

In 2013, the Cowboys spent a second round pick on a tight end for the third time in eight drafts - a move decried by pundits as wasteful. A quick look at the Patriots recent drafts shows that teams have to spend big to make personnel visions work.
