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).

[conner01]

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

[Hostile]

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

[Doomsday101]

I don't think Dallas will draft a kicker at all. They just resigned Gramatica and have Carlos Martinez on the practice squade.

I guess I could live with this. With our past struggles at the Kicker position, I can see why we would draft a kicker so high. If you are going to lock up a sure fire, clutch kicker for years to come, then Crosby is the guy.

I could not live with this. This would be horrible IMO.

agreed, the only player I like is Ross

I like Steve Smith, but then again, I don't like him, don't ask me why

[KDWilliams85]

If we let the Eagles get Meachem, I will be severely pissed.

[Pottsville Maroons]

Interesting who they have going after our picks in Rounds 2 and 3.

Rd 2:
OT James Marten
WR Craig "Buster" Davis
DE Quentin Moses
QB Drew Stanton
DE Tim Crowder
WR Jason Hill

Rd 3:
OG Manny Ramirez
S John Wendling

This mock would look alot better like this:

Rd 1: Aaron Ross
Rd 2: Buster Davis or one of the DEs
Rd 3: Manny Ramirez

Seems to me we'd get much better value for our picks this way.

[CrazyCowboy]

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