Default Poe at #14?

I know that the Cowboys 2012 draft flavor of the week is rumored to be Barron at #14. I just cant see Barron being selected that high, despite the fact that we could probably use him and he might start for us this year. I think the only way that we select Barron is in a trade down, which, of course is possible.

I think the Cowboys signed the two guards in FA with the intention of not drafting DeCastro, either because they think he will be long gone by their pick, or they want someone worse than DeCastro at #14. If they think that someone will be there at #14 (who they think is more coveted than DeCastro) then who could that possibly be?

I have a feeling that the Cowboys might surprise everyone and take Poe. He could be as dominating at his position and as much as a difference maker as DeMarcus Ware is at OLB. I think the analysis of Poe is similar to it was when Ware was drafted, with the exception that Ware's intensity was never in question, like Poe's has been.

If you are Rob Ryan, I can't see wanting ANY player on the defensive side of the ball for his defense more than Poe. If we pass on DeCastro, I can't see it being for any player other than Poe.
