2 (51) - Brian Robiskie
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 207 | Position:WR | College: Ohio State
With TO gone, for better or for worse, I believe WR is once again an issue. I like Roy as a #1, and Crayton is steady, Miles has upside and Hurd was coming on till he got hurt as well. Read up on this kid, you'll love him. Ran well at the combine and shined during the drills, he's moving up the draft boards quick. Actually reminds me of Miles Austin but with a lot more polish.
3 (69) - William Moore
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 223 | Position:S | College: Missouri
Moore has taken a lot of knocks, and that may help us in this situation. I know the immediate knock is "He's Roy 2.0", but that's just not to case. He had an off year, but if he had come out last year, he would have been a first rounder easy. Plus, check out this tidbit:
02/05/2009 - Missouri Pro day: Moore was timed in the low 4.4 range in the 40-yard dash and clocked 4.39 on at least one reading, several people confirmed. If that time was consistent among the scouts Moore might have re-established himself as one of the two or three best safeties available. Also, Moore hit 36 ?? inches on the vertical jump.
I don't think Roy ever sniffed a 4.4 in his life, much less 4.3. He's a playmaker and we desperately need gamechangers in the secondary.
4 (97) - Keenan Lewis
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 198 | Position:CB | College: Oregon State
We need depth at CB and Lewis can step in and provide that, he played a lot of aggressive man to man at Oregon state but also has the awareness to play zone coverage when we need him to. He's got size and speed, but lacks great hands for the interception. There's some talk he could put a couple of pounds on and play some free safety as well, versatility is a plus.
4 (113) - Scott McKillop
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 243 | Position:ILB | College: Pittsburgh
Just a football player. He's smart and aware in coverage. Had absolutely fantastic production. A little shorter than most would like, which is why he may be available here despite his excellent play on the field.
5 (148) - Tom Brandstater
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 216 | Position:QB | College: Fresno State
Even with Kitna, I'd like to see us draft a young QB to backup Romo eventually. Brandstater is a work in progress, so Kitna buys him time to get in here and get some work done without any pressure to get on the field anytime soon. I like his size, but could probably put on a few more pounds.
5(comp) - Louis Vasquez
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 330 | Position:OG | College: Texas Tech
Blocked on that Texas Tech line so you know the guy has some experience pass blocking, but he's a project as well. Has the size we like here in Dallas as well, and we have some depth at guard so he can learn a real NFL offense blocking scheme instead of that spread nonsense.
6 (184) - Sammie Lee Hill
Height: 6-4 | Weight: 331 | Position:DT | College: Stillman College
With Igor on board, looks like Ratliff will stay at NT, but with Tank gone, we have nearly zero depth there. In comes Sammie Lee Hill. He's not a great pass rusher but he won't have to be, he's got the size and strength to be an anchor.
6 (comp - Everette Pedescleaux
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 305 | Position:DE | College: Northern Iowa
Movie Time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GH9lJT3lK8
I love Youtube scouting. ;) In all seriousness, he's agressive, has the size (weight and height) to play DE in the 3-4 (which most DE's and DT's don't this year), but as you can see in the video, he's pretty quick as well.
7 (193) - Demetrius Byrd
Height: 6-1 | Weight: 200 | Position:WR | College: LSU
Another WR, get Stanback the hell out of here. Ran a 4.35 at the combine so he's got speed. Can come in and contribute on special teams immediately, and perhaps develop into a slot guy with time. For a 7th round pick, not a lot of gamble here, if it doesn't work out, just cut him loose.
7 (210) - Ramon Foster
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 338 | Position:OG | College: Tennessee
Looking for another big lineman. Foster actually has experience at tackle, but not really athletic enough for the NFL in my opinion. Another project guy that you're not investing too much into.
