Mike Mickens is another solid 7th round pick. This guy was a potential 1st round pick before he had knee surgery prior to the Senior Bowl that dropped his draft stock. A steal like Scandrick.

Agree BB. I was hoping they would look at him in the 6th. Like this pick a lot. They took a similar chance with Canty a few years back when he dropped cause of an injury. I think someone woke up JJ in round 7. Cause some of those 5-6 round picks had me scratching my head. Namely drafting a kickoff specialist?!?

Yeah, I checked the kicker's bio and he can play a few different positions. Not your run-of-the-mill kicker. Not sure what they are going to use him for, but he's played safety and special teams in the past. Was a strange pick, but I guess they have a potential spot for him.

Criticize the Dallas draft all you want. Really. (Me, I still think the Roy Williams trade was a complete mistake.) But try to know what you’re talking about, please.
Here, in a nutshell, is exactly what’s wrong with the draft hype and overblown media coverage, courtesy of SI’s Peter King:

Instant Rant: Grading the Draft Graders
I give the media/others F- for stupidity. How can anyone grade a
draft class in reality? These guys are the same guys making guesses
with totally inaccurate mock drafts…
I hold zero stock in these grades, I really do; however, they are
somewhat laughable and entertaining. We all know at the end of the day,
it takes 3 yrs to grade a draft.

4th Round (#120) Selection Made: DE Brandon Williams
The Cowboys have selected DE Brandon Williams, Texas Tech. Williams will also be projected as an OLB. I get the feeling Ellis is out of here. Two back-to-back tweene’s mean Ellis is likely a June cut.
Brewster Looks Like a Good Pick...
Reading his Bio on NFL.com, Cowboys' third round pick, Robert Brewster of Ball State looks to be a solid pick. Depth on the O-Line is a definite concern this off-season.
