The draft is over and for the most part, the Cowboys appear to have filled some holes. We addressed our secondary with star S Caleb Downs, who will likely be a starter,and CB Devin Moore, who may see playing time. They addressed the pass rush with EDGE Malachi Lawrence and EDGE Jaishawn Barham. Both should be in the rotation, with Lawrence possibly being an early difference maker. They traded a 5^th round pick for LB Dee Winters, who will likely be a starter. He played well for San Francisco last season. Additional picks included OT Drew Shelton, who is a depth player, DL LT Overton, who should make the rotation, and WR Anthony Smith, who may not make the team. They are still looking at UDF players to fill other holes.

It does appear that they have improved their defense significantly and DC Christian Parker should make a difference with better schemes.

Most importantly, they signed PK Brandon Aubrey and WR George Pickens signed his franchise tag. This should lessen the drama that they are always having to deal with.

In general the team appears to be improved and barring injury, should make the playoffs this season.

End.
