123. <p>They will flirt with the idea of taking a quarterback with this pick but at the end of the day Jerry Jones won’t take that risk.  Not this early.  Instead the Dallas Cowboys will do what they’ve done the past few years, which is take the best player on their board and continue building what has become a fairly solid roster.  This time it’s the defense that gets the infusion in the form of linebacker Myles Jack.</p> <p>In terms of pure athleticism, the UCLA standout has a case for being the best in the draft.  He’s got the size and strength of a linebacker but also the speed and fluidity of a safety.  He can hang with tight ends and running backs easily in coverage, is aggressive as a downhill tackler and can even time his blitzes to bring heat on the quarterback.  Rod Marinelli will have a place for him right away.</p>.
