Mark Barron to have surgery on Double Hernia, may drop him to 2nd or 3rd rd.

Mark Barron won't participate at Combine due to surgery on double hernia. That may drop him to 2nd or 3rd round. Should Cowboys draft him?

Depending on how the first two rounds unfold for us and relative to who is still left on the board, I would seriously consider Barron if he's there in the 3rd.

I think Barron compares favorably to Kenny Phillips.

Mark Barron - DB - Player Alabama S Mark Barron will not participate at the Combine after undergoing double hernia surgery.
The injury also kept Barron out of the Senior Bowl. Per SI's Tony Pauline, Barron's recovery timeframe should be "no more than 4-6 weeks," and eight at the most. It sounds like he should be able to hold a Pro Day, though maybe not until early April. Barron is the only safety widely projected to be drafted in this year's first round. He was a two-time first-team All American.

This means we will get him in the 2nd and sell the fans that we got a 1st rounder for a 2nd, but he won't see the field until Romo and Ware are giving there retirement speeches. No thank you. We have enough injured players, we need players that can come in and play day one and contribute.

no thanks, I wouldn't take him in the 5th. We don't need a inbox zone SS. We need someone that can roam the field and has great speed to make plays.
George Iloka or Markelle Martin are my two favorite safties in this weak safety class.
I say fix all our needs in FA and the draft this year but for safety. Resign Elam or get Mike Adams for one more year. Then next year do all you can for Bcarri Rambo or TJ McDonald.

Lol, Martin is just as bad as Barron in coverage.

Bet you're pretty pissed-off about Sean Lee.

I was. It's crazy to keep throwing high picks at injured guys. At least Lee came in that one game against Indy and almost won it by himself that year. Still we had No idea what we had until this year.
