Cowboys: C+
Don't mind the Zeke pick since controlling the ground game can help the defense, but I still wonder if this wasn't more of an emotional pick than logical. Really scratching my head at the Jaylon Smith pick. If he recovers as planned, he will see the field in 2017 but I just don't understand taking him 2nd round. Think he would have been available in round 5 or 6 and the Cowboys need help on defense now. Love the Collins pick for obvious reasons, and I think he is the positive influence Randy Gregory needs. Dak seems to be a strong leader in the locker room and a hard working guy, but I doubt he is anything more than a lifetime back up. Won't go too in depth into the rest of the picks as I am still doing my homework. Overall an ok draft, but scares me they really only drafted 1 player who will step in and be an instant starter.
