NFL Draft Countdown 3 Round Mock - 3/15

22. DALLAS COWBOYS - AARON ROSS
CB | Texas | Scouting Report

The Cowboys have a clearly defined need at free safety so some may be surprised to see a cornerback here but there is a logical explanation. Word is Anthony Henry might be moving to free safety and since both LaRon Landry and Reggie Nelson figure to be gone by this point that might be their best chance at addressing the position. However by filling one hole with that move they would create another at cornerback opposite Terence Newman, which is where Aaron Ross comes in. After biding his time behind a talented stable of Longhorn defensive backs for most of his career Ross finally got a chance to start as a senior and boy did he take advantage of the opportunity, coming through with a number of impact plays and winning the Thorpe Award in the process. A great athlete who can also contribute as a return man, Ross doesn't get a lot of attention but he is a solid first rounder and at this point all signs point to him going higher than some would expect. After already addressing the o-line they'll be looking defensive back here.

53. Mason Crosby K - Vanderjagt was a bust but this guy will finally take care of that problem area once and for all.

87. Steve Smith WR - Terry Glenn is basically year-to-year now and, as always, Terrell Owens is minute-to-minute.

Mason Crosby in the 2nd still??

Kicker in the 2nd would be stupid (duh).

i don't see us taking a kicker that high or a wr. if i was guessing i would say
1= ross, houston, revis (depending on who is there)
2- trade down and take ramirez
3= anthony waters lb
4= brandon frye ot
5=louis leonard dt

If we take a kicker on day 1 of the draft I will go postal.

Well, load up the assault weapon and put on yer mailman suit!

I don't know of a single aspect of the Cowboy's play the past few years that has caused so much consternation and aggravation. I don't see how taking a franchise kicker on day one would be that terrible.

When you think about what one position, other than QB, or RB, can have as much impact on a game it makes sense to get a reliable one.

I would rather see a for sure kicker than a lazy ol' OT.

Now, is this guy a for sure kicker? That is another debate.

we signed grammatica again - we're NOT going to draft a kicker THAT HIGH! i don't think *I* have ever been that high, much less jones, to do that.

I read this kicker is special, however, a 2nd?

[DEZBRYANT x88x]

I've been using Scott Wright's site for several years now and this year is by far his poorest effort. But hey, it's free.

At this point, this stuff is just fan fodder. The guy's connected in the scouting world. His mocks will be much better in a month.

I would be very surprised if Dallas drafted a kicker in Day Two...has the guy writing the article found any support of his idea in ANYTHING that the Cowboy organization has ever done?

I like Ross, but have to question his depth of talent, as he only got a good shot of play on the field, his senior year...no matter how good that one season was, I would have some reservations here. I have to admit, that he did have a pretty good senior year. He also has received good evaluations on a broad basis of support.

As to going 'postal', I'm a postal worker and I really wouldn't take things in that direction.....

Everything said and done...I only would like about ten players at the first round pick for Dallas...go figure.
