Dallas Cowboys: Grading every pick in 2020 NFL Draft

There were several times during this draft that it felt as though the Cowboys could grab Bradlee Anae out of Utah. Twice in the fourth, it felt like a solid choice. They didn’t pull the trigger though as they got other players who they had higher on their boards. But somehow, they were able to still land Anae at pick No. 179.

At this point, it started to feel like a joke. Dallas was landing one potential starter after another and they kept getting these picks much later than they should have been. And as good as many of the selections were, Anae could end up being their biggest steal.

During his time with the Utes, he couldn’t be blocked and found his way to the quarterback with ease. Then in the Senior Bowl, he proved to be head and shoulders above the offensive linemen he was facing. Anae should see the field early for the Cowboys and will be given every opportunity to prove he should have been gone a couple of rounds earlier.

And with their final pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Cowboys finally decided to draft a player who won’t be fighting for a starting job anytime soon. At pick 231 in the seventh-round, they called on Ben DiNucci of James Madison.

He started with Pitt back in 2015 and transferred to James Madison in 2018 and took a big step forward. He was highly productive and finished with 3,441 yards passing with a 29-to-6 touchdown-to-interception ratio while adding another 569 yards and seven touchdowns as a redshirt senior.

He could find himself battling Cooper Rush for the No. 2 job, which is about as much as you can ask out of a quarterback in the final round.
