LB Jason Williams (3rd round), Cowboys- The Western Illinois find is a great athlete with tremendous speed and quickness for a 240-pound linebacker. He likely will not be up to speed from an assignment standpoint to start as a rookie. However, Williams will be dangerous on special teams and a threat to block punts. He will push Bobby Carpenter in camp and may earn a spot on 3rd down passing situations as the season progresses.
S Michael Hamlin (5th round), Cowboys- The Cowboys wanted to upgrade their safety play in this year's draft. Hamlin could be a 5th round draft gem with his instincts and tackling ability. He will play on special teams in 2009, but I would not be surprised if he became a starter by next season. The current safety tandem of Ken Hamlin and Gerald Sensabaugh both have to prove they can limit their mental errors and missed tackles
CB Mike Mickens (7th round), Cowboys- Every NFL team should be 4-deep at cornerback to defend numerous multiple receivers sets. Mickens has an excellent opportunity to nail down the 4th cornerback spot with Dallas. He is a ballhawk with a knack for making interceptions. Dallas is a good fit for Mickens because the strength of their defense is a strong pass rush, which is the first step in producing turnovers. The Dallas rush should force opposing quarterbacks to rush throws and a corner like Mickens can take advantage of this and come up with picks
