Unit Grades

SI.com's NFL personnel expert Michael Lombardi evaluates the Cowboys' units.

QB A
Romo can make all the throws, and he will keep getting better.

RB B+
Will be a top backfield if rookie Felix Jones gives them big plays.

WR B
Owens is one of the elite, but Crayton is more a No. 3 than a 2.

TE A
Witten rarely has a drop; tough, can block and will make plays.

OL A
Big and physical, deep at tackle; can be a dominating unit.

DL B+
Very solid, with nice blend of youth and age, speed and power.

LB B
Thomas lifts the unit; critical year for Anthony Spencer.

DB C+
Need more man-to-man players; teams can pass on Williams.

ST B
Kickers are very good; some concerns on coverage squads.
