Draft is Now

The beginning of the draft is about 30 minutes away so this is the last time we will have to guesstimate who the Cowboys will take.

I copied and am pasting something from Kam and of course replying all in one post.  :)

I want a certain player in this draft but I'm not willing to move up for him. Even Claiborn. Moving up to #4 would probably take a 1st round pick next year. Even if it's just a 2nd I'm not doing it. This team needs way too many players and we're not going to fill enough of them as it is even if we hit on all of our picks. Just let the draft come to us and there will be a good player there. Even if I don't like the player as well as others.

=========================
Kam,

I am not suggesting giving away draft choices but players.  I would give Felix Jones, Jenkins and a #4 to move up and get Claiborn.

If that doesn't work then I am with you just stay where we are I don't want to give up a lot of choices, but we do have players that are good but not great.

I am hoping the Cowboys don't trade down I would like to see them get DeCastro and anchor our offensive line for the next few years.  You want Cox and I would be happy if we got him as well, there are four players we could pick up in the first round I would be good with and a couple I would be very pleased with.

So let the draft begin......Just don't trade down!!

I have to say I am pleased with the trade up and picking up Morris Claiborne; I think it is a good move.

The later rounds will fill more spots. :)

From Bleacher Report

Dallas trades first round pick (No. 14 overall) and second round pick (No. 45 overall) to St. Louis for first round pick (No. 6 overall)

This is a steal of a trade to move up a full eight spots just to give up a second round pick. Dallas and St. Louis should both be happy here.

Grade: A+



Round 1, Pick 6: CB Morris Claiborne


Claiborne is arguably the best corner to come out since Joe Haden in 2009. He's a great coverage corner and should team with Brandon Carr who will only improve the awful unit from 2011.

Claiborne will give the Cowboys someone who should come in and take people's heads off from the corner spot and be an instant starter. Claiborne will only get better as time lapses.

Grade: A+




Overall Grade: A+
