Dallas Cowboys 2008 NFL Draft

Draft Needs of the Dallas Cowboys

From Andrew Wynne and James Alder, for About.com

Jan 7 2008

Cornerback — Another franchise corner to pair opposite Terrence Newman would allow Anthony Henry to move to free safety and add more overall depth to their defensive secondary.

Wide Receiver — Both Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn are on the wrong side of 30. A speedy field-stretching wide receiver to groom to eventually takeover for Glenn is needed.

Running Back — Marion Barber appears to have the ability to be a solid starting back. If Julius Jones leaves via free agency, however, a fast runner to backup the powerful Barber is needed.

Offensive Tackle — An offensive tackle better at pass protection still good at run-blocking is needed to give the team some insurance at right tackle.

Offensive Guard— Added depth for the immediate future and perhaps a starter down the road.
