As the NFL Draft approaches, the Dallas Cowboys, who hold the No. 12 pick, can pursue various options.
For most, a receiver to help ease the pressure on CeeDee Lamb in the passing game is the likely choice, while a running back is also another option.
But there is another route, and it is one that for most fans, won't get them excited given what Tyler Guyton produced last season, but it is offensive line.
For Bucky Brooks of NFL.com, Missouri's Armand Membou comes to The Star.
"With Zack Martin's retirement leaving a huge hole in Dallas' O-line, this Missouri product could help the Cowboys get back to playing bully ball at the line of scrimmage," Brooks wrote.
Now, this move for Membou could be seen as odd given Brock Hoffman and T.J. Bass are next in line to fill Zack Martin's right guard position, but could Membou, who is a tackle, shift inside? Brooks seems to think so.
With so many other offensive needs, one part of Brooks' report sticks out - bully ball.
The Cowboys under Brian Schottenheimer want to be physical and violent at the line of scrimmage and Membou fits that profile with many hailing his outstanding potential as a reason to draft him high.

It would be a hard sell to the fans for the Cowboys to take a lineman when receiver and running back are two glaring needs for the offense, especially when both Hoffman and Bass showed promise last season.
The pick makes some sense, but for Cowboys Nation, they want skill position players, not offensive linemen.
