From what Cowboys already have set in place on the team, I believe they did good in the draft. Im basically saying Cowboys already have their team. That's the reason for not trading up for players like Mauluga, Delmas, Uger, etc.
Now the Cowboys in my eyes from what I read and seen draft guys that has good characters and flat out plays. All of these guys Cowboys drafted was standouts at their schools.
Jason Williams

Linebacker
Height :: 6-1
Weight :: 248
40 Yard Dash:: 4.49 (According to Dallas Cowboys workout with him)
NFL Comparison :: James Harrison (According to NFL.com)
Positives: Good speed and hustle to chase down plays down the line or from behind. Comes downhill in a hurry, but can change direction if the runner makes a move. Takes on fullback blocks in the hole so others can make plays. Often played as a stand-up rusher. Solid wrap-up tackler in space. Will try to get under the pads of guards to hold his position. Forces turnovers by attacking the ball with his hands after securing the tackle. Active in coverage, with the quickness to stay with tight ends and running backs.
Negatives: Has a strong safety build, thin in the legs and only adequate upper-body strength. May be a classic inside-outside linebacker "tweener." Played inside quite a bit for but is better on the edge because he lacks the strength to hold up versus NFL interior lineman. Has tight hips. Could get off blocks better to make plays. Inconsistent getting through trash inside. Must learn not to overrun plays.

Grade:: B+ J.W. is going to be an inside linebacker according to a Jerry Jones interview in the draft on ESPN. From looking at Williams highlights he seem to be strong and well built enough to be tweener pass-rusher at the inside linebacker position and he can also cover. Jason Williams is basically Kevin Burnett replacement.
Other possibilities:: Brandon Tate, Herman Johnson, Jarron Gilbert, and Rashad Johnson.

http://ballstatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=702091&SPSID=67659&SPID=7633&DB_OEM_ID=14200Positives: Good initial quickness off the snap, lateral agility and flexibility for the cut block. Can get out and run to make blocks at the second level. Good initial pop. Can turn the defender and seal. Flashes some nastiness and looks to finish his opponent when he feels vulnerability. Bends naturally at the knees and eases out of his stance fluidly with the balance to mirror defenders.
Negatives: Operates out of the spread and is rarely asked to block out of a three-point stance. Inconsistent hand punch. Only marginal hand quickness. Will allow his hands to get outside the chest-plate when run blocking. Lacks the strength to consistently sustain.

Grade:: C- Even though Brewster seems to have some promise and potential, I still believe the Cowboys had other possibilities here.
Other possibilities:: Herman Johnson, Chip Vaughn, Ramese Barden, Brandon Tate, and etc.

Stephen McGee
Quarterback
Height:: 6-3
Weight:: 225
40 Yard Dash:: 4.66
Positives: Legitimate NFL frame. Good toughness. Has absorbed a lot of hits throughout his career and is willing to play through pain. Legitimate arm strength. Good zip on his passes, especially on short and intermediate routes. Flashes the arm strength and trajectory for deep passes with touch over the top. Good athlete who can buy time in the pocket and also make plays as a runner in the open field. Good agility and strength for the position as a runner. Solid week of practice at the East-West Shrine Game offers hope that he can develop with time in a pro-style offense. Excellent intangibles. Natural leader who was voted permanent team captain in 2006. Twice led the Aggies to upset victories over rival Texas.
Negatives: Raw as they come. More of a thrower than a passer at this point. Inconsistent footwork and delivery. Inconsistent accuracy, mostly due to flawed technique. Still acclimating to reading a defense from a passer standpoint. Lacks patience in the pocket and will either run or force passes too often, rather than check down. Needs to be cleared medically due to the torn labrum suffered during his senior year.

Grade:: B - I like this pick because the Quarterback is tough and he has potential to develop into a mobile passing quarterback. He's very smart and aware in the pocket. I also think Tom Brandster and Rhett Bomar should have gotten some consideration.

Negatives: Classic "tweener." ... Essentially a one-trick pony. ... Lacks the bulk to remain at defensive end and may lack the necessary speed and agility for coverage. ...
