"I expect him to come in here and start," Jones said. "But I want to be real clear now - not start in place of Jason Witten. Both of them will start."  

And with the Cowboys finding their "need" players now on offense and defense, they didn't stop there. With a fourth-round pick they acquired through a trade on Saturday, the Cowboys picked up LSU speedster Skyler Green, a wide receiver who is also considered one of the best return specialists in the draft.

The Cowboys then got back on the phone to make yet another trade, once again with the Jets, to get up higher in the fifth round. With the 138th overall pick, the Cowboys added Florida State safety Pat Watkins, an intriguing prospect because of his size. The 6-5,
