2015 NFL Draft – 27th Overall Pick – Cowboys Draft Byron Jones

Posted on by Standard Reply

With the 27th overall pick, the Cowboys draft UCONN corner Byron Jones to shore up the secondary.

After missing a top-flight corner for years, the Cowboys are hoping Jones can be it. Tall with some serious hops, Jones had an incredible combine and set the record for the long jump. Coverage skills are adequate but could also end up at safety. If so, that would greatly enhance his IDP prospects with decent tackle skills.

Dynasty Impact – Dallas Cowboys select Zack Martin, OT

martinDynasty Impact: After passing on Johnny Manziel, the Cowboys go safe with tackle Zack Martin. Martin has the size and form to be a highly successful offensive lineman at the next level and could play anywhere. With Tyron Smith manning the left tackle position, Martin can conceivably play right tackle or left guard or anywhere really. This helps Tony Romo a ton along with DeMarco Murray.

Week 3 Dynasty Recap – Cowboys dominate Rams, 31-7

  • I think the Sam Bradford train is starting to lose some steam. He had a 5.0 YPC after 48 pass attempts. The lack of a running game doesn’t help.
  • Isaiah Pead took over running back duties for an injured Daryl Richardson but didn’t exactly impress. He had a 3.3 YPC after St. Louis went down early but was a bright spot with seven catches. That may be his niche in that offense which isn’t a bad thing. He’s just not a workhorse.
  • Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray had a huge day with 175 yards. Murray has a ton of talent and is young with the starting job locked up. The issue continues to be just how many rushes he gets. He could get 26 as he did this week or 12 like last week. Still a lot of upside however.
  • Cowboys end DeMarcus Ware had two more sacks bringing his total to four this season. The switch to end has been very good for Ware and wouldn’t be a bad pickup for your DL2 in dynasty leagues. There’s not many players that are more reliable.
