______________________________

Cowboys Draft Needs/ Cowboys Draft Board
Urgent: A hard-hitting strong safety who can cover receivers and make plays is desperately needed. A franchise young receiver with game-breaking speed to complement Roy Williams is needed. A young project left offensive tackle with a huge upside to groom behind Flozell Adams is a must.

Strong: A good backup nose tackle, a backup center, and a corner for depth are needed.

Moderate: An inside linebacker to be groomed for the future would help.

Nice to Have: A third offensive guard to backup Leonard Davis and Kyle Koiser would be nice to have.

Wildcard: How will Roy Williams play as the No. 1 receiver now that Terrell Owens is gone?
