Quarterbacks – Unless some player our scouts love falls to them, there really isn’t a reason to draft a QB. Whether you’re a Stephen McGee fan or not, he’ll be the “developmental QB” for the next 3 years.
Runningbacks – Again, only if a top talent slips to us. We could go for a Darren Sproles type return specialist though.
Fullback – Not a key position for us, but we could spend a low round pick on a pure blocker to come in and challenge Deon Anderson.
Wide Receivers – This is a debate among Cowboy fans. 50% say this is a key need and 50% say we are fine. Young guys like Miles Austin, Sam Hurd, and Kevin Ogletree will get a chance to prove themselves this season but both Hurd and Austin are Unrestricted Free Agents. Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton are solid but don’t really give Defensive Coordinators nightmares. If a playmaker like Dez Bryant is there, you have to at least consider him. Punt return specialist would be a nice pickup.
Tight Ends – We shouldn’t need to draft one but we do almost every year.
Offensive Line – Major need here. Flozell is very close to calling it a career and the O Line depth is already a concern. 4 of the 5 reserves will need new contracts before next season. Drafting 3 Offensive Linemen would not be a surprise.
Defensive Line – Of the 6 current D Linemen, 4 are in the last year of their deals. This could also be a major need. Dallas would be wise to try to lock up some of these guys before they hit free agency.
Linebackers – We drafted 4 last year and 2 are on IR so they will basically be rookies next year. The team seems incredibly high on Curtis Johnson as well. If a Brandon Spikes type impact player was available the team might want to consider bringing in someone to challenge Keith Brooking.
Secondary – The CB depth isn’t what we thought it was. The NFL is a pass-happy league so we can always use talented CB’s. As far as safeties go, we still need a cover safety with ball hawk skills. Our current safeties, the Hamlin brothers, Gerald Sensabaugh, Pat Watkins, and Marvin White are more suited to play Strong Safety IMO. Sensabaugh and Watkins are Unrestricted Free Agents.
