Default ESPN NFCE: Graziano: But seriously, what'll Dallas do at safety?

Mar 5
4:42
PM ET
By Dan Graziano | ESPN.com

I'm not going to sit here and tell you Gerald Sensabaugh was the second coming of Ronnie Lott, or that replacing him has suddenly jumped to the top of the Dallas Cowboys' offseason priority list after they cut him Monday for salary-cap room. Sensabaugh was a decent enough player, but surely not irreplaceable. The Cowboys can, without question, find someone in free agency or even in the early rounds of the draft who could give them in 2013 what Sensabaugh gave them in 2012.

However.

The idea that the Cowboys' starting safeties right now are Barry Church and Matt Johnson ... well, it's not an idea befitting a team that wants to make it to the playoffs, let's just leave it at that. Church showed promise early last year but is coming off an Achilles' injury. Johnson was a seventh-round pick they took in the fourth, and he didn't play a single snap as a rookie. The Cowboys can talk all they want about how good they think Johnson will be, but neither they nor anyone else has seen any proof that he can play in the NFL. They need to augment this situation prior to training camp.

Calvin Watkins has a look at the free-agent landscape at safety, and throws out well-known names such as Ronde Barber, William Moore and O.J. Atogwe as possible Cowboys targets.

Thank you to all donated to the Jason Witten Camp drive!

I'd like to get William Moore, but Atlanta will pay him soon most likely.

It just so happens it's one of the deepest safety classes in recent memory.

Despite labeling myself a "realist", no one understands my pain or appreciates my special truth. Stupid world.

There are a dozen options out there for filling the hole left by Sensabaugh. Especially if they really like their '7th rounder' from last season as much as they say they do.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

Didn't someone say Whitner is available?

Not sure on the guy but he does look like a decent player in that system.

Haven't heard about Whitner...maybe you're thinking of Goldson, who didn't get franchised and is a FA.

Goldson I like, but I think he'll want more money than he's actually worth.

As much as I don't want to, I think we're gonna go safety in round 1.
