1 - Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas (5-10, 207); 1 - Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida (5-10, 197); 2 - Martellus Bennett, TE, Texas A&M (6-6, 259); 4 - Tashard Choice, RB, Georgia Tech (5-10, 215); 5 - Orlando Scandrick, CB, Boise State (5-11, 192); 6 - Erik Walden, OLB, Middle Tennessee (6-2, 237)
Analysis: The Cowboys filled needs with their two first-round picks, locating a complement to Marion Barber in speedy running back Jones, then swapping picks with Seattle to take cornerback Jenkins at No. 25. Jenkins has questionable character that affected his draft status (which means he should fit in great on a team with Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson), but is physically gifted. The choice of Bennett was a surprise given the presence of Jason Witten on the roster and Dallas' need at receiver, which went begging. Hard to determine where Choice fits in on this team as well. The Cowboys are apparently happy with Brad Johnson (40 years old this September) as their backup quarterback, and added zero depth the offensive and defensive lines.
Bottom Line: Two backup running backs? A reserve tight end? A cornerback with questionable heart? It all adds up to the most head-scratching Draft of the bunch.
Grade: D
