Washington. Shaq Thompson. 27. player. 123. Rod Marinelli gets a defensive playmaker who can be lined up all over the field. Thompson is great at reading defenses, and he forces turnovers at an excellent rate. The Cowboys linebackers played admirably in 2014, but Thompson has the opportunity to be a bona fide star. He is a little undersized, but finding him with the 27th pick is excellent value for the Cowboys.
<p>The Cowboys also could go with cornerback here. Again Kevin Johnson’s name is mentioned, and again he is passed up.</p>. LB
