Cowboys Draft '09 -- Pick Four, Part Deux
I just spoke to a source about Dallas' draft plans, and learned the following: -- 23 reasons to pick in the 1st. This year's board assigns 23 first rounds grades. That means Dallas would have at least three players with first round grades on the board had it kept the 20th pick. But at what...
