Norm Hitzges's Cowboys draft predictions

Round 1: Anthony Spencer (OLB). Makes plays and causes chaos. Had 26 tackles behind the line last year. Will play OLB and allow Carpenter to move inside.
ALT: Dwayne Bowe (WR). Best downfield blocker at WR in the draft.

Round 2: Sidney Rice (WR). Fights for the ball vs CBs.
ALT: Jason Hill (WR)

Round 3: Allen Barbre (OL)
ALT: Andy Alleman (OL)

He also doesn't care for drafting Ted Ginn in the first round. When asked about Meachem, he said that he believes that the 2nd-round WRs are so close in value to the 1st-round WRs that it's probably a mistake to draft a WR in the first.

He fears Anthony Gonzalez going to the Colts.

Take it for what it's worth!
