Dallas Cowboys
Top needs: G/C, CB, OLB, SS, DE, TE
Rd 1 (14) S
Mark Barron
Rd 2 (45) OLB
Andre Branch
Rd 3 (81) CB
Justin Bethel
Analysis: The Cowboys need to shore up their coverage and they get a lot of help here, both in the secondary and with an added piece in the pass rush. Barron makes too much sense. He has a good chance to be there at No. 14 and in this simulation he was. He provides an immediate upgrade. Branch is a guy scouts disagree on, but only on whether he's got the talent of a late-first grade. Midway through Round 2, Dallas can't go wrong, and he'll provide depth on the edge. You can't have too many pass-rushers. Bethel could be one of the sleepers of the draft. A star at Presbyterian, he has plenty of physical talent and Dallas isn't out of the woods in the secondary simply with the addition of
Brandon Carr.
I like Barron pick, not big on the Branch pick but wouldn't hate it.
I just do not understand the Justin Bethel pick at 81.
