  1. Dallas Cowboys

Jalen Ramsey – Florida State

The Cowboys could go a number of different ways with this pick. They most notably need linebacker help thanks to injuries to Rolando McClain (a pending free agent) and Sean Lee who has durability issues. They also need to find a quarterback for the future as Tony Romo is getting older and wearing down. It’s too high for the Cowboys to go quarterback so the Cowboys will address other needs.

When it comes to the draft no one really knows what to expect from Jerry Jones. Myles Jack is a very solid choice here for the Cowboys but Jones likes big names and Jalen Ramsey’s Combine scores were out of this world. The Cowboys don’t need safety help but they do need a corner and Ramsey can play both safety and cornerback. If Ramsey doesn’t go in the number 3 spot, he very well could go here.
