W2W4: Draft Day 3 for the Cowboys
April, 28, 2012
By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com
IRVING, Texas -- The final day is here for the NFL draft and, after a quiet Friday for the Cowboys, things should pick up Saturday. Round 4 starts at 11 a.m. CT. Teams have five minutes for each pick.
What to expect: The Cowboys have five draft picks today: two in the fourth round (113 and 135 overall) and one in rounds five (152 overall), six (186 overall) and seven (222 overall).
Needs: Owner/general manager Jerry Jones said he's open to finding a wide receiver who can return kicks and punts. If the Cowboys try and grab another cornerback, that player would need to have the flexibility to play safety. Of course, trying to upgrade the interior of the offensive line and finding a true safety are possibilities.
Who to keep an eye on: WR Joe Adams, Arkansas; TE James Hanna, Oklahoma; OLB Ronnell Lewis, Oklahoma; RB LaMar Miller, Miami; S Antonio Allen, South Carolina; DT Jared Crick, Nebraska; RB Cyrus Gray, Texas A&M; TE Orson Charles, Georgia; C Ben Jones, Georgia; C Philip Blake, Baylor; CB Brandon Boykin, Georgia.
Day 2 recap: The Cowboys fielded some phone calls about getting back into the second round, but decided against it. In Round 3, they picked up Boise State defensive end Tyrone Crawford, who is projected to get some playing time on passing situations, with the long-term goal of being an every down player.
