2019 NFL Draft: How Cowboys, Bears, Browns and Saints can have successful drafts without first-round picks
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft...-successful-drafts-without-first-round-picks/
...Zeke needs a reliable backup. To me, that position should absolutely be on the table in the second round at No. 58 overall. Penn State's Miles Sanders, a bouncy, balanced back, would pair wonderfully with Elliott. If Dallas wants a runner with comparable style to its ground-game star, Iowa State's David Montgomery, though not as powerful as Zeke of course, just might be the pick. Maybe a round or two later, Oklahoma State's speedster Justice Hill would complement Elliott very well and would be a real asset in the screen game.
Even with Jason Witten returning for one more season and project-y types like Blake Jarwin, Rico Gathers, and Dalton Schultz on the roster, I wouldn't hate the Cowboys landing a tight end on Day 2 or early Day 3. Texas A&M's Jace Sternberger proved to be a capable intermediate target with impressive yards-after-the-catch skills for the Aggies in 2018. He'd be a quality add to the Cowboys' roster. San Diego State's Kahale Warring, a tall tight end with above-average athletic traits and plenty of experience in-line as a blocker, could be a sponge learning from Witten and become one of the better players at his position in the league in a few years.
Defensive backfield is a trendy option for the Cowboys, but with Byron Jones, Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis, Anthony Brown, Jeff Heath, and newly signed George Illoka already roaming in the secondary, the Cowboys are probably just about all set at corner and safety. Would a fifth-round defensive back hurt? Of course not. I just don't think it's a huge necessity for Dallas in this draft.
