PickPlayerPosHtWtCollegeRound 3, Pick 5 (69) (From Browns)Jason WilliamsOLB6'1"241Western IllinoisPick Analysis:The Cowboys pick up an athletic linebacker with outstanding speed and quickness. Williams has the ability to rush off the edge and is a potential playmaker as an outside linebacker/special teams player.
Round 3, Pick 11 (75) (From Bills)Robert BrewsterOT6'4"325Ball StatePick Analysis:The Cowboys pick up a hulking interior prospect with the selection of Brewster. Though he spent his college career as an offensive tackle, Brewster will likely move inside to guard for the Cowboys.
Round 4, Pick 1 (101) (From Lions)Stephen McGeeQB6'3"225Texas A&MPick Analysis:He had a great workout at his pro day. He's more of a developmental project, but he has all of the physical tools. Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman said McGee has pro potential, and Sherman should know -- he was Brett Favre's coach for several years in Green Bay.
Round 4, Pick 10 (110) (From Bills)Victor ButlerDE6'2"248Oregon StatePick Analysis:Butler had a great workout at his pro day and jumped on the radar after starting just one year in college. The Cowboys need to fix their special teams and Butler, combined with the Cowboys' earlier pick of Jason Williams, will help. Butler is a standout on the kicking units. He has similar skills to the Broncos' Elvis Dumervil, and he shined in Oregon State's upset victory over USC this past year.
Round 4, Pick 20 (120) (From Buccaneers)Brandon WilliamsDE6'5"252Texas TechPick Analysis:Williams was an underclassman that may have been better served staying in school. Nevertheless, he has pass-rushing potential and is extremely athletic. There are questions as to whether he can be a linebacker, so the Cowboys may use him as a rotation defensive end in their 3-4 scheme.
Round 5, Pick 7 (143) (From Raiders through Falcons)DeAngelo SmithCB5'11"194CincinnatiPick Analysis:The former Bearcat is a zone cover corner with good awareness. Smith has a good feel for reading routes and is an aggressive ballhawk in coverage. The Cowboys may move Smith to safety due to his physical presence on the field.
Round 5, Pick 30 (166) (From Titans)Michael HamlinFS6'2"214ClemsonPick Analysis:The Cowboys add a rangy safety prospect with hard-hitting ability. Hamlin lacks elite speed, but he has the instincts and awareness to develop into a solid player in spite of his deficiencies.
Round 5, Pick 36 (172) (Compensatory selection)David BuehlerK6'2"227Southern CalPick Analysis:The Cowboys increase their competition at the kicking position with the selection of Buehler. Incumbent kicker Nick Folk hit 91 percent of his field-goal attempts last season and was perfect on PATs, going 42-for-42. Still, Buehler is a physical specimen for a kicker and should contend.
Round 6, Pick 24 (197) (From Dolphins)Stephen HodgeSS6'0"234TCUPick Analysis:Hodge is a special teams ace. He played safety at TCU and he will be a backup on defense. Still, he helps Dallas in the kicking game and continues the trend of the team trying to fortify what was a weakness last year in special teams.
Round 6, Pick 35 (208) (Compensatory selection)John PhillipsTE6'5"251VirginiaPick Analysis:Phillips is a good blocking tight end, who has had some injuries. He'll always be a third tight end, but he'll be good there. He won't get a lot of reps as the backup, but he's smart and will make the team as a solid role player. He will replace Tony Curtis, who left the Cowboys and signed with the Chiefs.
Round 7, Pick 18 (227)Mike MickensCB6'0"186CincinnatiPick Analysis:Mickens led the nation in interceptions last season and was a track superstar in high school. He has speed and very good quickness. This is exceptional value for a pick in the seventh round. Mickens has a chance to be the third corner for the Cowboys.
Round 7, Pick 20 (229) (From Bears through Buccaneers)Manuel JohnsonWR5'11"189OklahomaPick Analysis:Johnson has the quickness and speed that teams crave at the wide receiver position. He may have been better than Juaquin Iglesias (Round 3, 99th overall to the Bears) at catching the ball at Oklahoma. Johnson is a small receiver, but he's got the ability to stick in the NFL.
