It will take time for him to make the mental leap from Division II to the NFL, but Owusu-Ansah could develop into the starting free safety within a few years.

Round: 6, Pick: 27 (Overall: 196) Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, FS, Indiana (Pa.) – Owusu-Ansah is a project at free safety who could make an immediate impact as a kickoff returner. Concerns about his right knee (torn ACL in spring 2008) are the only reason Lee was available this late in the draft. He’ll learn behind Bradie James and Keith Brooking for at least one season before likely inheriting Brooking’s starting job at weakside linebacker. Round: 2, Pick: 23 (Overall: 55) Sean Lee, ILB, Penn State – Lee is a smart, tough linebacker who has the athleticism and instincts to be able to contribute in the nickel package as a rookie. He should make an immediate impact as a return man, and if he handles his business, its a matter of time before he gives Tony Romo another dynamic target.

While Bryants immaturity is a concern, he has the potential to form a Pro Bowl pairing with Miles Austin for years. Round: 1, Pick: 24 (Overall: 24) Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State – The Cowboys took a calculated risk on one of the most talented players in the draft, and it didnt cost them that much to move up a few spots to get Bryant. Tim MacMahon, ESPN Dallas grades each pick, which is rather odd: He could make the transition to safety. Draft grade: B. Getting Akwasi Owusu-Ansah in Round 4 I liked. But unless they do something in the interim, the Cowboys will head into camp with Doug Free as the best left tackle on the roster, and while the team likes Free’s potential, Tony Romo’s blindside protection is still a concern.


The Boys traded up for Dez Bryant - in that case they slipped in just ahead of Baltimore, where Bryant would have been a huge score - and did the same for Sean Lee, a likely replacement at some point for Keith Brooking. Owusu-Ansah is an interesting developmental project.Ĥ (126) Akwasi Owusu-Ansah DB Indiana, Paĭallas Cowboys The question for Dallas fans shouldn’t be about the talent of the players the Cowboys picked up early. Sean Lee is the only other draft pick likely to have an impact from this class. The Cowboys drafted the NFL offensive rookie of the year in Bryant. Rick Gosselin, Dallas Morning News, Pro Football Hall of Fame member: Unless they’re really bad teams or the Patriots, we always kill GMs after the draft.  Either they went for need and thus “reached” on talent or they went with the mythical “Best Available Player” and are excoriated for not addressing their needs. They really can’t win. Which is likely all we should have expected.   The team is talented with no real holes among the starters, with the possible exception of safety and, with the release of Flozell Adams, left tackle. But the draft was thin at tackle and, as usual, the best ones went off the board very early. The marquee safeties were off the board when Dallas picked in the 2nd and it wouldn’t have made sense for them to pass up Lee, who they had rated as the 16th best player in the whole draft.

The team’s clearly better than it was Thursday morning, with another home run threat on offense and some terrific depth on defense. The consensus seems to be that Jerry Jones and company drafted some kids with real upside but that Bryant may well be the only one to crack the starting lineup this year. So, how did the Dallas Cowboys do in the 2010 NFL Draft? Most of us fans were concerned that the team came away without a big name offensive tackle or safety, widely considered the Cowboys’ biggest needs. On the other hand, they clearly got great value with Dez Bryant and the first round and Sean Lee in the second. But what about all those late-round picks most of us never heard of?
