...the point here is to look at a pool of 5 guys who are rated right about where we are scheduled to pick and select the highest guy based on need and considering earlier draftees.
I am not against taking guys rated a few picks higher than we select but never more than 10 picks because we have plenty of ammo to move up a few slots.
using this list for values...

51 group:
Ron Brace, NT; Louis Delmas, FS; Duke Robinson, OG; William Moore, SS; Paul Kruger, DE
I'd have to take Delmas. He is ranked 45th which is highest and also fits a position of need.
69 group:
Darry Beckwith, ILB; Kraig Urbik, OG; Herman Johnson, OG; Phil Loadholt, OT; Louis Murphy, WR
I'd grab Beckwith who is the highest rated player and could play passing downs early then become the every down WILB next to James. He is rated the highest of these guys at 63.
97 group:
Dannell Ellerbe, ILB; Lawrence Sidbury, DE/OLB; David Bruton, FS; Mitch King DE/DT; Kevin Ogletree, WR
I'd go with Sidbury here as the depth at OLB is so poor and we really want a raw pass rusher moreso than anything. He is also rated 93rd so again my highest rated guy.
113 group:
Ramses Barden, WR; Scott Mckillop, ILB; Ricky-Jean Francois, DT/DE; Derek Pegues, FS; Jarrett Dillard, WR
I'd have to go with Dillard here. He is the more developed of the two WRs and fills the bill as a slot guy. He isn't super fast but does have great leaping ability and great hands with superb route running.
148 group:
Jasper Brinkley, ILB; Jaime Thomas, OG; Darius Passmore, WR; AQ Shipley, C; Tom Brandstater, QB
Tough call here but I gotta go Shipley. He is over 300 and fits our system pretty well. Wanted to get a QB but may be a tad early to go 3rd QB.
160s group(5th round comp):
Michael Bennett, DE; Mike Wallace, WR; Jason Phillips, ILB; Terrance Taylor, DT/DE; Sammie Lee Hill, NT
Again tough call but I'd have to go with unique speed and Mike Wallace here. Looks a bit like a poor man's Joey Galloway.
184 group:
Bruce Johnson, CB; Lydon Murtha, OT; John Parker Wilson, QB; Ian Campbell DE/OLB; Ian Johnson, RB
Not as much value here but I like Bruce Johnson as a nickel DB so I'll take him. Small and not very strong but a solid cover guy in the slot.
190s group
6th round comp)
Quan Cosby, WR; Nathan Brown, QB; Cornelius Lewis, OT; Keith Fitzhugh, SS; Josh Mauga, ILB
Got to take that 3rd QB here and get Nathan Brown. Intriguing prospect with measurables similar to Romo.
193 group:
Quan Cosby, WR; Nathan Brown, QB; Cornelius Lewis, OT; Keith Fitzhugh, SS; Josh Mauga, ILB --- Same as above... these picks will be fairly close together.
Let me have Mauga here. Could be a pup guy as a rookie but has decent size and speed. Special teamer is nothing else.
210 group: ---looking ta players in the 225 range here because of comps)
Garrett Reynolds, OT; Domonique Johnson, CB; Deon Butler, WR: Victor Butler, OLB; Brice McCain, CB
Just want this guy to be able to make the team or PS. I like the long term chances for Garrett Reynolds so I'll grab him here as a PS OT.
Anyways this exercise lets you go through and see what various positions seem to have available at each value grouping. It was somewhat intriguing to me.
As a sum total:
51: Delmas whom I expect to start over Sensabaugh eventually(i.e. next year when Sensabaugh is gone) and play nickel day 1.
69: Darry Bechwith whom I expect to be a nickel backer day 1 and eventually an every down player for us.
97: Sidbury who can be our first attempt to add a pass rusher this draft. Not a certain contributor as a rookie but has a chance to help.
113: Jarret Dillard who reminds me a bit of Patrick Crayton. A bit faster but a bit smaller. Excellent route-runner and great hands guy. Depth Wr who could surprise.
148: Shipley who can back up Gurode for a year or so then take over. This guy won all types of collegiate rewards and can play the game.
160s: Mike Wallace who gives you excellent speed and a special teams guy.
184: Bruce Johnson is a depth CB who can cover guys man on man.
190s: Nathan Brown battles for the 3rd Qb job with a likely UDFA.
193: Josh Mauga is a guy who could go to the PUP, Dallas would rather not cut any rookies because of cap hits. Mauga can learn the special teams and potentially help there day 1. Versatile guy with good tackling skills.
210 : Garrett Reynolds is a developmental OT who we should be able to fit on the practice squad. Not as big as we generally like, but has the frame to hold more weight.
