27. Dallas Cowboys
123. Although the Dallas Cowboys have more pressing needs, specifically at defensive end, cornerback and running back, with all their top options off-the-board the Cowboys decide to go with the best player available. With starting middle linebacker Rolando McClain one mistake away from a four-game suspension and on a one-year deal, Dallas needs to find their future star at middle linebacker. They find that player in UCLA’s Eric Kendricks. A tackling machine, Kendricks recorded 480 total tackles during his four-year career at UCLA. And the word is the Cowboys came away quite impressed with the young prospect during a personal workout this offseason. Kendricks’ addition solidifies a linebacker corps that contains the injury-prone Sean Lee, who is being moved to the weakside in the hopes of extending his career, and 2014’s fourth round surprise, the versatile Anthony Hitchens. <p>-Steven Mullenax, <a href=.
