Cowboys: Five At No. 4 For Now

DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - There are a ton of options for the Dallas Cowboys at the No. 4 pick, and that is a good thing. Despite what I said in my other piece (four problems with the No. 4 Pick).

At The K&C Masterpiece, we played the game with Bryan Broaddus the other night of what he would pick at No. 4 if given the opportunity to draft for the Boys, and we came up with a number of unique options.

Here are my five guys in order for the time being, but know that all of these guys have some sort of caveat and have some sort of "yeah but I could probably get another guy like him later in the draft."

What I'm telling you is, these are the five that I've watched that I feel like are dynamic enough players to picked in the Top 5 and players that would be difference makers for the Cowboys.

1. Jared Goff - QB - California -- 6-4 205

Yes. This goes into the fear of being stuck in this position again. Yes this has something to do with thinking Tony Romo would get injured again and we have another year of pulling out our eyelashes while Kellen Moore doesn't even see wide open receivers. However, this is the best QB in the draft for me. For every moment of panic he may have when pressured in the pocket, there is another pass of a 30-yards for a perfect strike thrown only where his receiver can get it. I love his feet and the feel he has for the pocket, and again accuracy and deep ball accuracy are a big deal for me and when you watch this Cowboys offense you see they covet that too with Romo. We all saw how he blasted Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl with 467 yards and 6 touchdowns, and that's not fluke.

2. Myles Jack - LB - UCLA - 6-1 225

This depends a lot on whether or not the Cowboys decide to bring Rolando McClain back. Also you have to answer the question, do you think Anthony Hitchens or Damien Wilson are going to be better at this position that Jack. This guy is almost otherworldly with his athleticism. At times he is playing nickel corner and covering wide receivers in the slot. He's batting down passes over the middle that guys built like him have no business batting down. He's got great speed and explosive quickness in small spaces and that's what you want out of your LB. If we hadn't just watched the Cowboys poor season without a good QB, I would possibly consider Jack over Goff. He's the player with the highest potential ceiling and most to offer right now all packaged into one player.

3. Jalen Ramsey - S/CB - Florida St. - 6-1 194

So this guy is a question mark for some, but after talking it over with Broaddus I see the opportunity to make your team very flexible in the secondary. One of the things the Cowboys have always loved is played who can play multiple positions and excel at one. Broadus suggested putting him at safety, letting Byron Jones stay in at cornerback and moving Barry Church down into the box. Here's what it would look like Orlando Scandrick on the left side where most right handed quarterbacks are going to drop and see their first option receiver. Scandrick lines up against the No. 1 because well he's your toughest cover corner, hopefully coming off an ACL/MCL injury. Put Byron Jones on the other side covering your No. 2 option and he'll be fine there, and that leaves maybe Carr and Claiborne as the odd men out. Ramsey can play at the line and when he does you see him making immediate impacts around the line of scrimmage. I thought he looked a little like Roy Williams, but could cover a little bit better and not hit as hard. He's got legit catch-up speed and can cover a little bit. Dude is a playmaker with great athleticism and would fit nicely with your defense.

4. Ezekiel Elliot - RB - Ohio State - 6-0 225

The more you watch this kid play the more you start to think he's the best option, but because of the way teams value running back nowadays, is the RB position valued any higher than 15? He doesn't have any holes in his game. He can block, catch and run. In the Cowboys zone-blocking scheme he can plod his way down the line until he finds the hole and has the speed and quickness to burst through the line for big time gains. One thing I didn't like is that you very rarely see him line up in a power formation, there is a lot of QB option type stuff and seems like a lot of misdirection in the Ohio State offense, of course they have the players to do that. He would be a great option for the Cowboys behind this offensive line for many years, and gives the team multiple looks with one player.

5. LaQuan Treadwell - WR - Ole Miss - 6-3 216

So this is a head-scratcher for some, and probably more of a pipe dream scenario for me. But when you start to imagine the idea of having two Dez Bryant's on the field at the same time, you start feeling like you are in just a make believe world of Madden where you drafted the player you created to play next to Dez. He can jump, has tremendously strong hands and the speed-strength combination that can strike a dagger of fear in defensive backs. A lot of you might be thinking but we already have Dez and what about Terrance Williams…that's all and well but I think we've seen the ceiling for Williams. As hard of a worker as he is, he is a No. 2 receiver that can make big plays. Treadwill has No. 1 traits with what projects to be a much higher ceiling than Williams. Again, this is a situation where I am just dreaming because I would likely do something else with the pick, but the talent is undeniable.

Get after it, let loose on all the other guys that would or could fit better, but these are the guys I've watched that I like at 4 if certain scenarios play out in the Top 3 picks.
