2010 Cowboys Draft

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell changed the draft to 3 days, instead of 2, this year which I thought was great idea. Anyways, the Dallas Cowboys, in my opinion, had a pretty good draft this year. Before the draft I was hearing a lot about all the Cowboys pressing needs: OLB, FS, OL, KR, and depending where you look CB, DT, and WR were on the list to. I personally only thought we needed a CB, DT, MLB, OG and OT and that was just for depth not a starter. Which I believe the Cowboys did except for maybe an OT. The Cowboys selected:

WR Dez Bryant from Oklahoma State, 24th overall;

LB Sean Lee from Penn State, 55th pick overall;

CB/FS Akwasi Owusu-Ansah from Indiana, 126th pick overall;

OT Sam Young from Notre Dame, 179th pick overall;

CB Jamar Wall from Texas Tech, 196th pick overall;

and DT Sean Lissemore from William & Mary, 234th pick overall.

All of these players will add some more depth to an already talented team and most of all should contribute on special teams. I believe that Dez Bryant will be the impact player, from the rookie class in the 2010-2011 season, in the return game as well as the receiving game, especially in the red zone.

However, Sean Lissemore, the DT from William & Mary, may end up being the gem from the 2010 draft. He was already compared to Jay Ratliff, by Wade Phillips.
