For the second time in four years, the Dallas Cowboys's draft board has been exposed by a fan community website that covers the team.

'Blogging The Boys' has completed an image of the Cowboys' 2013 NFL draft board by piecing together pictures of owner Jerry Jones, who was standing in front of the board while conducting TV interviews in the team's war room.

This marked the second time that BTB put together an almost complete image of the team's draft board. The website also did it in 2010.

According to BTB's review of the draft board, the Cowboys had first-round grades on 18 players, including wide receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Tavon Austin, three tackles and two guards.

The Cowboys' eventual first-round pick, center/guard Travis Frederick, was given a second-round grade and was ranked 22nd on the team's overall board.

The team also had second-round grades on Gavin Escobar (25th on Cowboys' board, drafted in the second round) and Terrance Williams (23rd overall; drafted in the third round).

The Cowboys also gave a first-round grade on Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert, the best tight end of the draft, but the team opted to trade the No. 16 pick to the 49ers, who grabbed safety Eric Reid.

The Cowboys had a fourth-round grade on quarterback E.J. Manuel, who was drafted by the Buffalo Bills at No. 18.

The Cowboys had a third-round grade on running back Joseph Randle, whom they selected in the fifth round.
