Cowboys Should be Happy to “Settle” for Dak Prescott

The 2016 Dallas Cowboys draft class is here, and it covers just about everything we expected it to. After their premier fourth overall pick was used on running back Ezekiel Elliott, a move that will help Dallas dominate time of possession and keep the defense off the field, the bulk of the team’s remaining picks were spent on stacking that very defensive unit. Jaylon Smith and Maliek Collins highlighted the 2nd and 3rd rounds, and three of the four picks the Cowboys had in the fourth round also went towards the defense. Defensive end help was provided by Oklahoma’s Charles Tapper, while Anthony Brown and Kavon Frazier helped secure the secondary. However, there is one fourth round pick that went towards the offense, and that is what I am here to talk about.

The Dallas Cowboys Select Anthony Brown at #189

The Dallas Cowboys built up their front 7 on defense in day 2 of the NFL Draft when they selected LB Jaylon Smith at #34 and Maliek Collins at #67. That trend continued in to today, when they used the third pick of the fourth round to select DE Charles Tapper of Oklahoma. Now, with their first of four 6th round selections, Dallas has addressed the secondary. The Cowboys have drafted Purdue CB Anthony Brown with the 189th overall pick. Brown adds depth at defensive back for the Cowboys, who could use speed and athleticism at the position.

Cowboys Draft: Maliek Collins Adds Needed Depth at DT

The Dallas Cowboys finished their 4 win 2015 season with 31 sacks, causing the defensive end position to become a spot that was talked about by writers and fans endlessly leading up to free agency and the draft. Dallas did little to address the pass rush in the off season, signing only defensive tackle Cedric Thornton from the Eagles and restricted free agent defensive end Benson Mayowa from the Raiders. Still, the end position seemed at least somewhat stable, as the Cowboys prepared to bring back Randy Gregory off of injuries in 2016 to rush the passer opposite of breakout 2nd year player DeMarcus Lawrence. Suddenly, Gregory showed us all why the gifted rusher fell to the Cowboys in the 2nd round of the 2015 draft, when his drug issues re-emerged to land him a four game suspension entering 2016.  Cowboys Nation turned to DeMarcus Lawrence to emulate his 2015 output in 2016, if not improve on it, before he was hit with a pending four game suspension.

The Dallas Cowboys Select Jaylon Smith at #34

The Dallas Cowboys grabbed Ezekiel Elliott with the fourth overall pick last night, and tonight entered day 2 of the NFL Draft with needs across the defense. Appetizing names such as Noah Spence, Jonathan Bullard, Ronald Blair, A’Shawn Robinson, and a host of other talented defensive linemen fell through the first round and were all potential targets for Dallas at #34. There was also a lot of speculation that the Cowboys would trade up or down from this pick. Instead, they stayed put, and added a talented linebacker out of Notre Dame that will not see the field in 2016. The unfortunately injured Jaylon Smith became the 34th overall selection of the Dallas Cowboys.
