Dallas Cowboys Fourth Round Picks

The Dallas Cowboys have chosen 3 players in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. After drafting exactly zero players in Day 1 of the draft, the Cowboys will be drafting 13 players in Day 2.

In the fourth round they have taken a quarterback with the 101st overall pick. Stephen McGee out of Texas A&M didn’t have much of a college career with a struggling Aggies team. But many experts think he has pro potential.

With their next pick, the 110th overall, the Cowboys took Victor Butler. This defensive end out of Oregon State moved up on many draft boards after a good workout in his pro day. He should help provide some depth in the defensive line.

With the 120th pick the Cowboys took another defensive end. Brandon Williams from Texas Tech should fit well in the 3-4 scheme, but he will be a project in the making.

So there you go, Jerry is going after some depth on defense and maybe a shot in the dark at QB. Only 8 more picks left today!

Dallas Cowboys Third Round Picks

The Dallas Cowboys have finally thrown their hat in the ring and drafted some players in the third round of NFL Draft 2009. Believe it or not, Jerry Jones made a trade that adds another pick to the Cowboys list of 12 picks today.

In a minor trade the Cowboys swapped fourth round picks with the Bucs and acquired an extra seventh round pick. That leaves the Cowboys with 3 picks in each of the fourth, fifth and seventh rounds and 2 picks in the sixth. That is, if Jerry doesn’t make any other trades.

So, in the third round the Cowboys drafted Jason Williams, a linebacker from Western Illinois. He will most likely play special teams this season and fill in at LB.

With their other pick in the third round, Dallas took an offensive lineman from Ball State. Robert Brewster played tackle in college but will most likely move inside to guard.

As suspected, Jerry and Stephen Jones are looking to fill holes in the backup roles on defense. With all these picks they will get to take a look at lots of talented athletes in training camp this year.

Dallas Cowboys Draft Picks 2009

For the 2009 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys draft picks are not quite what you would think. Due to many recent trades, the Cowboys are loaded with extra picks in the middle rounds.

When they acquired Roy Williams from the Lions on October 14, 2008, the Cowboys gave up their 1st, 3rd and 6th round picks. So their first pick won’t happen until the middle of the 2nd round as the 51st pick overall.

In the next 4 rounds, however, the Cowboys have stockpiled 8 picks. They will have 1 pick in the 3rd round, 2 in the 4th, 3 in the 5th, and 2 in the 6th. And, to finish off the draft, the Cowboys will have 2 picks in the 7th round.

So if you tune in to the draft at 4pm ET Saturday when it starts, you won’t see Jerry Jones for quite awhile. In fact the Cowboys are only scheduled to have a single pick on Day 1 of the draft.

Once he gets started, you can look for Jerry to draft defense, defense and more defense. But don’t be surprised if he trades some of his later round picks to try and get an extra pick or two in the second round. Stay tuned!
