2020 NFL Draft: Grading every Dallas Cowboys selection
4.123. Reggie Robinson II, CB, Tulsa
The Dallas Cowboys grab another cornerback in the fourth round in Reggie Robinson II from Tulsa. Robinson has very good size at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds with long arms, but he lacks speed and is not the most impressive natural athlete. He has good instincts and a nose for the ball, but profiles as a zone cornerback do to his questionable long speed.
The Dallas Cowboys have targeted two big zone cornerbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft who can press and throw off the receivers from their routes. I’m really curious to see how Robinson fits in the Cowboy’s new defense. This was okay value for Robinson in the fourth round, but there were other cornerbacks available I would’ve targeted ahead of him.
Grade: B-
4.146. Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin
Former Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick retired from the NFL this offseason, leaving a big hole to fill. Dallas did bring back Joe Looney, but they’ll need a long term answer at center. Frederick was a first-round pick out of Wisconsin and it would be pretty amazing if the Cowboys fill his spot with another former Wisconsin center. Dallas traded back into the fourth round sending pick No. 164 and a 2021 fifth-round pick to Philadelphia for No. 146.
Tyler Biadasz has been talked about, scouted and picked apart for the last 16 months. He went from becoming a sure-fire first-round pick to being selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. A lot of people believe that the reason his stock dropped was a case of overanalyzing. Others say that he was severely overrated in 2018 and couldn’t live up to those expectations.
The reason I believe he fell was simply that he’s likely a finished product. He doesn’t offer much upside, but I think he’s a very solid center already. I’m probably in the minority, but I am of the belief that he could step in day one and be the starting center for the Dallas Cowboys.
He doesn’t provide ideal play strength, but he’s smart and articulate with his blocks. He was a three-year starter at Wisconsin and is a phenomenal lead blocker. This will be a solid pick for Elliott, although Biadasz could be a bit of a liability as a pass protector.
Grade: A
