Day One Draft Decisions for the Dallas Cowboys

Today is the day for the 2016 NFL Draft. The Dallas Cowboys have the number 4 pick in the draft. Dallas can do numerous things with this pick. They could trade down in the draft and get a plethora of picks, draft a quarterback, draft a running back, draft a cornerback, draft a defensive end, or draft a linebacker. Dallas had many holes to fill on its roster. 

But with defensive ends Randy Gregory & Demarcus Lawrence being suspended for four games. They need to draft a defensive end that can make an instant impact on a defensive line that struggled to get to the quarterback last year. If the Cowboys were smart they would draft defensive end stand out from Ohio State Joey Bosa. Analysts have been comparing him to the next JJ Watt. He will fill a huge hole on Dallas lackluster pass rush.

Dallas could go the route of drafting Jalen Ramsey a player who could play cornerback or safety in the NFL. But, I just don't see the Cowboys drafting him since they drafted a similar player last year in Byron Jones. Plus after resigning back Morris Claiborne & Brandon Carr, the Cowboys have enough cornerback depth especially since Orlando Scandrick is coming back. Also, the Dallas Cowboys passing defense finished in the top 5 so cornerback isn't a big need.

The Dallas Cowboys could draft running back Ezekiel Elliot with the number 4 pick. But, with Darren McFadden having a great season last year along with the off season signing of Alfred Morris it would be really idiotic to waste a number 4 pick on a position that doesn't have a gaping hole in it. Dallas could also use its number 4 pick on drafting a linebacker. Because after Rolando McClain & Sean Lee that's where Dallas linebacker core starts to get iffy. But, I feel it's too many good linebackers that you could get on day 2 or day 3. So I wouldn't suggest using the number 4 pick on a linebacker.
