DE. Ohio State. Joey Bosa. 4. player

He was late to multiple meetings and practices, not appreciating his second chance this season. The Cowboys still need an edge-rusher on the other side of with 2015 1st-rounder Randy Gregory. So here at No. 4 overall, the Cowboys take defensive end Joey Bosa from Ohio State.

This is the perfect pick for the Cowboys because Bosa is the same type of player Hardy is. Bosa isn’t a speed-rusher by any means, instead relying on technique and strength to play against the run. So the Cowboys can plug Bosa in right away at 4-3 base end and with all their other parts, they’ll be favored to go to the NFC Championship game.

The Dallas Cowboys have franchise quarterback Tony Romo coming back from injury next year. His presence alone will make the Cowboys a different team than they were without him in 2015. If there are no such catastrophic injuries on the team in 2016, the team will be a major player in the Super Bowl hunt next year.

I don’t know if it will be troubled Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel but Cowboys will get a backup for Romo. So that offense will be fine with Romo back to go with the defense they have. But one problem with that defense is upper management is starting to sour on defensive end Greg Hardy.

He was late to multiple meetings and practices, not appreciating his second chance this season. The Cowboys still need an edge-rusher on the other side of with 2015 1st-rounder Randy Gregory. So here at No. 4 overall, the Cowboys take defensive end Joey Bosa from Ohio State.
