Admittedly, May and June can be tough months for football fans. We are almost stuck in football limbo as the draft has ended and training camp is still months away. So, when something as simple as a tweet proposing a hypothetical scenario arises, we all dive in head first to talk about that topic. Respected NFL Draft analyst and Dallas Cowboys’ fan Dan Turner proposed one of these hypothetical scenarios last week. Turner asked how you would rank the Cowboys five major selections of the past two drafts if they were all in the same draft class?

The Cowboys have made their qualifications for an ideal defensive lineman pretty clear over these past few seasons. Rod Marinelli likes guys who are big, but can move. He looks for athleticism in all of his defensive linemen, especially quick lateral movements and take-offs. He values SPARQ scores, testing, and overall athleticism in all of his defensive players, but especially in his linemen. If Marnielli was a sculptor, his “David” would look a lot like Rodney Coe.

Going into the 2015 season there weren’t too many people would have identified Wide Receiver as a major position of need for the Dallas Cowboys. But, injuries to Tony Romo and Dez Bryant exacerbated the lack of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball a season ago. Terrance Williams had rather high expectations going into last season, considering his stellar playoff performances in 2014. I thought he could be the Alvin Harper to Dez Bryant’s Michael Irvin, but without Romo on the field Williams was quiet, to say the least. Cole Beasley and Lucky Whitehead can produce for Dallas, but they aren’t the type of players who are meant to provide a consistent outside threat.

I’m a big fan of the Madden franchise. Every year I get the new one and start a new franchise mode so that I can lead the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl glory. While I love me some Romo, I also love me some me (to quote the great philosopher Terrell Owens, that is). Typically the quarterback of the Cowboys on my digital team goes by the name RJ Ochoa and wears the number 4 on his jersey. It’s my favorite number, after all.

As soon as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Dallas Cowboys’ intentions to draft Ohio State Buckeyes Running Back Ezekiel Elliott with the fourth overall pick, the projections for his rookie season numbers began. Fans, analysts, and writers alike all began predicting incredible feats for Zeke’s rookie year. We heard it all from 2,000 yards to being a lock for Rookie of the Year. It was almost impossible to temper our excitement and expectations. But, without reeling in our expectations a bit is it possible we are setting Zeke up for failure before he even takes a snap as a Cowboy?

For the majority of this Draft Film Review series, I have followed the order which the Cowboys drafted. Meaning, I reviewed the players drafted in the first four rounds before I reviewed those taken in the sixth. In the case of fourth round selection and former Mississippi State Bulldogs Quarterback Dak Prescott, however, I decided to wait until the end. I did this for a few different reasons. First of all, I find him to be possibly the most intriguing of all the Cowboys rookies.

The Cowboys running back carousel seemed to finally stop turning when the franchise decided to draft Ohio State stud Ezekiel Elliott with the 4th overall selection of this years draft. Following the addition of Alfred Morris, drafting Zeke added another formidable back to an already crowded position group. Then, in the sixth round, the Cowboys added yet another running back by selecting Eastern Michigan Eagles speedster Darius Jackson. Though the addition of a second running back in one draft class, especially considering the quality of back which was added in the first round, raised some questions and concerns among fans, Jackson could actually have an impact as a Cowboy. Darius Jackson is a zone-blocking type of running back who brings a good mix of power and speed.
