The Leading Authority of the NFL Draft

Studs: WR Miles Austin, DE DeMarcus Ware, DT Jay Ratliff

Duds: WR Roy Williams

Sleepers: RB Tashard Choice, WR Dez Bryant

X-Factor: Can QB Tony Romo get over the hump and win the big game?

Synopsis: Destination Dallas. That will be the theme this year in Big D, as owner Jerry Jones hopes to feel the thrill of his Cowboys playing for the championship in his own backyard, as the Super Bowl comes to the new Cowboys stadium. QB Tony Romo has been under scrutiny for his failure to win the big game and the team is hoping that new starting LT Doug Free can keep him upright, as Dallas decided to part ways with OT Flozell Adams. The talented trio of RBs include Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice, which should help ease the pressure off Romo, if they can stay healthy. The Cowboys saw first round pick WR Dez Bryant miss most of the preseason due to injury and hope he can eventually wrestle the starting spot away from Roy Williams opposite Pro Bowl WR Miles Austin (aka Mr. Kardashian). The Cowboys have a strong defensive front, led by Des DeMarcus Ware and Marcus Spears and DT Jay Ratliff. Dallas has tried to repair its secondary by adding numerous picks the past few seasons via the draft in DBs Mike Jenkins, Orlando Scandrick, Jamar Wall, Barry Church and Akwasi Owusu-Ansah. The inexperienced secondary could ultimately be the downfall of an otherwise highly touted Cowboys team. Expectations are enormous!
