Round 1. Byron Jones, CB Connecticut: They drafted a need with this pick. He plays hard, but like most tall cornerbacks he plays stiff. He's very explosive and will help the defense right away.
Grade A
Round 2. Randy Gregory, OLB Nebraska: He has a lot of talent to play at a high level in the NFL. He does have a lot of red flags off the field. Grade B-
Round 3. Chaz Green, T Florida: He will play right tackle in the NFL. He may not start right away but he is offensive line depth. Grade B-
Round 4. Damien Wilson, ILB Minnesota: The Cowboys were in need for linebackers this year. He is a run and chase type of linebacker who was highly productive in college despite being a average athlete. Grade C-
Round 5. Ryan Russell, OLB Perdue: He can be dominated by some of the bigger offensive tackles. He has everything to be a highly productive outside linebacker in the a 3-4 defense. Grade C+
Round 7. Mark Nzcocha, OLB Wyoming: He's a project with the athleticism that coach like to develop. He is a lot like Howard Jones of the Steelers. He may need to be put on the practices squad for a season or two. Grade C+
Round 7. Laurence Gibson, T Virginia Tech: The cowboys got more offensive line depth at this pick. He is a very inconsistent pass blocker who may need to be on a practice squad for a year. Grade C-
Round 7. Geoff Swaim, TE Texas: He's one I thought would go undrafted, but he will have a chance to compete for a roster spot. Grade D+
Final Grade C+
