Patrick Peterson - DB - Player
Citing sources, SI's Tony Pauline reports that the Cowboys have LSU CB Patrick Peterson ranked as the top player in the 2011 NFL draft.
Their high opinion was only reinforced by Peterson's 4.32 and 4.37 forty times Tuesday at the Combine. Per Pauline, Dallas "covets" the 2010 Thorpe Award winner. The Cowboys draft ninth overall, so they may strongly consider a move up for Peterson. Terence Newman is a candidate for offseason release.

Go get him Jerry!

I'm already drooling at the thought of Newman and Peterson in the same backfield.

Eli Manning already loves throwing to Newman...can you imagine when he can't pick which side to throw it? Pick City.

Jerry on a mission

[realtick]

Not sure drafting Peterson would preclude keeping Newman. Anyways, I think it's all a pipe dream as Peterson is likely Top 3 and the price to steep to move up.

[TheDallasDon]

We all know what it means when Jerry gets that look in his eye

[CATCH17]

It aint happening.

Maybe if you would've played some younger guys against Philly's backups and we caught an L but winning that game was more important that getting this player.



We just need to get Marcell Dareus somehow and be stoked we got a player of his caliber @ 9.

You confine your Dareus man love to Dareus threads. This is The patrick man love thread.

I still don't see Peterson going top 4

Best case is 5th..Gives Jerry a chance to move up to 5th and if AZ doesn't take him, which is highly possible, we could try and deal w Cle too..

If he is the best player in this draft or even top 3 player in this draft I don't see how he makes it out of the top 4 or 5.


I hope like heck he drops to 6th but I just don't see how we'll get him.


And will he be a corner or safety? He better be an Ed Reed type Safety if we give up a high 1 & 3.

[Avery]

32 teams covet PP - we're no different.

[Sam I Am]

I wouldn't trade up for Peterson.

I can buy that. I think they are all good players on the D line.

I just have always had a lot of respect for Marcel Dareus.

The closer we get to the draft the more im kinda leaning towards wanting the sure thing.

He is a MAN and he is going to be a stud player in this league for sure.

He may not be extremely impactful... But he'll be great at what ever it is a team asks him to do.

I would give up a 1 & 4 if that was at all possible.

1 & 3 seems like a ton though.
