Everyone is excited about Dallas having such a great spot in the draft. Unfortunately, this may not be the greatest draft class for top-notch prospects.
The debate is ongoing and at times heated. Who should the Dallas Cowboys take with the fourth overall pick of the draft? Arguments have been advanced for several players, yet it seems like there are counterarguments for each one. And there may be a good reason for that. The 2016 NFL Draft is shaping up to be fairly weak at the top. Getting a good return on the amount of draft capital expended at a given spot seems to be easier this year after the first half of the first round.
This might make trading back the best option for Dallas, but that is going to require a willing partner. Specifically, a partner that sees someone as more attractive for them than the Cowboys do.
Here are the top prospects in the draft that have been mentioned in various mocks and discussions. They are discussed in the order used in Bob Rang's Big Board on CBS Sports.
Laremy Tunsil, OT, Mississippi. He is seen as the top talent in the draft by several experts, but there is also a concern that he is not truly ready for the pro game. This is partly an issue with the huge divergence between college and pro offenses in recent years. Dallas also has the issue of already having arguably the best left tackle in the league in Tyron Smith, playing on one of the top offensive lines, and a seasoned, still capable right tackle in Doug Free. Using the fourth pick on such a luxury player would be wasteful.
