Round 1, Pick 16: Zack Martin
Perennial all-pro from day one. Pairing him with 2013's first rounder, Travis Frederick, and 2011's first rounder, Tyron Smith, has transformed the offensive line into the heart and soul of the team. Martin can competently function in any of the myriad schemes and techniques the Cowboys deploy. Not Johnny Fuckin' Football
A++

Round 2, Pick 34: Demarcus Lawrence
Packaged a second and third in a trade with Washington to move up. Lawrence could be part of the solution for the miserable defensive line, but injuries and suspensions have derailed his development. Not consistent but shows awesome flashes. Had back surgery last off-season and again this off-season.
C+, opportunity cost stings, but Lawrence is a player the roster desperately needed

Round 4, Pick 119: Anthony Hitchens
Competent backup linebacker. He can play Mike and Will. Doesn't take on blocks well but shows good instincts in the run game and has improved in pass coverage.
B+, good rosters have several players like Hitchens as quality depth, but he'll never be a starter

Round 5, Pick 146: Devin Street
Bust wide receiver. Stuck on the team for two years but never saw the field. Cut before last season. Caught one pass for 20 yards on the Colts last season.
D but it's the fifth round so who cares

Round 7, pick 231: Ben Gardner
Defensive end who didn't make it out of camp. Out of the league.
w/e

Round 7, Pick 238: Will Smith
Linebacker who didn't make it out of camp. Welcomed players around the facility to earth. Plays with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
e/w

Round 7, Pick 248: Ahmad Dixon
Safety who didn't make it out of camp. Out of the league
shrug

Overall
The future of this draft hinges on Demarcus Lawrence. Can he stay healthy and make an impact, or will his back surgeries catch up with him? Zack Martin has been a franchise altering player, which is enough for me, poo poo, and Hitchens has proven to be a smart pick. Devin Street is probably the biggest disappointment, and they really shouldn't trade down for three seventh round picks again. One amazing pick, two good picks and a bunch of late-round trash. Pretty good :thumbsup:
