I love Byron but did they just pick a number out of a hat for him?

Yeah just scanning the list and saw that and wondered about that too. I dont see it.

I think that they saw that he was the primary reason our secondary was better last year. However, I probably would have switched him and Dak's spots. Although our secondary was improved, it still wasn't great and Jones didn't make that many impact plays.

To me, if you switch those two, I feel fairly good about the list as far as how I would rank the Cowboys (not necessarily where I'd rank them among other teams' players).

Beasley might be low, anybody know where Edelman ranked?

On second thought, I would probably have Beasley higher (above any defenders except Lee) and I would have had Maliek Collins on the list instead of Lawrence.
