Looking at their team, they had no really glaring holes (if they resigned their own free agents).
So the CPU targeting RB's in the draft as a need makes sense.
I understand what the AI is doing but if I'm a Cowboys fan I don't like the Smith pick in the 2nd. I get Mendenhall being a nice 1-2 punch with Barber -- same with NE taking McFadden, but a 2nd round pick on another RB? Why not take one in the 5th or 6th to be the 3rd string 3rd down back? (the 4th is about as early as I'd want another one) A 2nd is a bit too high for my taste for a guy that won't see the field much. I guess everyone has different philosophies but I want my 2nd round pick to play -- a lot.

Of course again, I need to check the Dallas roster. Wasn't Barber a RFA?
