The Cowboys will lose 1st round pick Mike Jenkins; however, he would have required a contract similar to Brandon Carr if he stayed healthy. The real value in Jenkins was what he was able to contribute under his rookie contract.

Fair point for rounds 3 and beyond. 1st round picks sign for 5 years though I think (hence Jenkins & Felix just now being FA's). 2nd rounders I want to say are 5 as well but I could be wrong.
We had no 1st in 2009 (Roy11) but started the day with a 2nd til we traded down.
