Dallas Cowboys
Day 1: Jared Goff, QB, Cal
Owner Jerry Jones has reportedly stated that the Cowboys won't take a QB No. 4 overall. But the move that makes the most sense in Round 1 is for Dallas to secure its future at the most important position in sports. Tony Romo is 36 years old and hasn't put together a full season since 2012. Neither Goff nor North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz is ready to be a starter as a rookie. Ideally, the Cowboys are able to get two or three more seasons out of Romo. That would allow Goff -- who is coming from Sonny Dykes' Air Raid system -- time to develop before seeing the field, which is a rarity for a quarterback in today's NFL.
Day 2: Carl Nassib, DE, Penn State
The Greg Hardy experiment is over, and it's hard to put any trust in 2015 second-round pick Randy Gregory, who is suspended for the first four games of 2016 (substance abuse). The Cowboys need to add depth along the edge of their front four. Nassib has athletic limitations, but he brings some pass-rushing upside with his length, quick hands and relentless motor. He'd be a welcome high-character addition to Dallas' roster.
Day 3: Harlan Miller, CB, Southeastern Louisiana State
The Cowboys were able to retain CB Morris Claiborne, but they still need to infuse some youth at the position. Orlando Scandrick is coming off major knee surgery, and 2015 first-round pick Byron Jones has settled in at free safety, where he appears to have a very bright future. Miller could fit the bill here in the mid rounds. He did not test particularly well at the combine (4.65 40-yard dash), but he has quality tape showing a nice combination of fluidity and instincts. Miller would fit well within DC Rod Marinelli's scheme, which utilizes plenty of zone coverage.
