Quick Glance at 2004 Draft Needs

With 3 regular season games left, we now know the needs of the Dallas Cowboys. I have put together a quick glance of some players to watch for 2004's NFL Draft.

Remember everything is predicated on what the Cowboys do with Free Agency this offseason. Below are some prospects to watch (in no particular order).

It is safe to say the Cowboys should draft a RB in the 1st Round - here are some top RBs:

1. Kevin Jones Jr. Virginia Tech 6-0 215
2. Steven Jackson Jr. Oregon State 6-1 230
3. Carnell Williams Jr. Auburn 5-11 200
4. Cedric Benson Jr. Texas 6-0 205

Next we need a DE to replace Ekuban - here are a few DEs:

1. Will Smith Defensive End 6-3 260 Ohio State
2. Antwan Odom Defensive End 6-4 280 Alabama
3. Chris Canty Defensive End 6-5 270 Virginia
4. Bo Schobel Defensive End 6-5 265 TCU
5. David Pollack Defensive End 6-2 270 Georgia
Next we need to add some depth to secondary - here are a few CBs:

1. DeAngelo Hall Jr. Virginia Tech 5-11 200
2. Marlin Jackson Jr. Michigan 6-1 185
3. Derrick Strait Sr. Oklahoma 5-11 195
4. Chris Gamble Jr. Ohio State 6-2 185
5. Keiwan Ratliff Sr. Florida 5-9 170
6. Nathan Vasher Sr. Texas 5-10 175
7. Shawntae Spencer Sr. Pittsburgh 6-2 185
8. Joey Thomas Sr. Montana State 6-2 195
9. Keith Smith Sr. McNeese State 5-11 185
10.Vontez Duff Sr. Notre Dame 5-11 195

Of course this is just a glance at potential picks for 2004 for areas of need. We will revisit this discussion more in the offseason.
