1 - Bobby Carpenter, LB, Ohio State (6-2, 256); 2 - Anthony Fasano, TE, Notre Dame (6-4, 259); 3 - Jason Hatcher, DE, Grambling State (6-6, 284); 4 - Skyler Green, WR, LSU (5-9, 192); 5 - Pat Watkins, S, Florida State (6-5, 211); 6 - Montavious Stanley, DT, Louisville (6-2, 313); 7 - Pat McQuistan, T, Weber State (6-5, 310); 7 - E.J. Whitley, OL, Texas Tech (6-5, 309)

Analysis: Carpenter represents the type of big, run-stopping linebacker that Bill Parcells loves, and should immediately fit into the Cowboys' 3-4 scheme. The pick of Fasano, on the other hand, was a curious one, since Jason Witten is a two-time Pro Bowler still very much in the prime of his career. Finding time for Fasano could be a challenge. That the Cowboys chose not to instead address their needs on the offensive line, particularly at the tackle position, could come back to bite them. Secondary help comes in the form of Watkins, who was drafted in the fifth round but many believed to have first- day talent. Stanley was considered by many to be one of the Top 10 defensive tackles available, and represents another good value. McQuistan, whose brother Paul was drafted in the third round by the Raiders, was not expected to be selected and is a project.

Bottom Line: The lack of attention to the o-line and the selection of a couple of question marks (Hatcher, Green) are disconcerting, but bringing in Carpenter and finding some late-round gems saved the weekend for Dallas.
