Interesting article. For me, when you have three guys who are all excellent at their position, you have to look at the work outs. Who is stronger? Who is quicker? Who is faster? Who is more athletic? Then take the guy who is the answer to all of most of those questions. Taking a guy with speed means you can ask him to do more than you can ask a guy who is slow. At #10, I want the guy who can do the most.

The problem for Dallas is I think Farley will be gone by the time they pick, but I am also curious to see how opting out changes teams' choices, especially early, if at all.

They may all be excellent (an assessment I don't agree with), but they all have very different strengths weaknesses. Surtain is plug and play, but without the upside. Farley has the most upside, but injury risks and very limited experience. Horn has the fire, passion, and physicality this defense sorely needs, but he's the least gifted in coverage of the three.

I think Farley would typically be the no brainer. He doesn’t have the experience but his tape is impressive and he has elite traits. BUT... torn ACL and back surgery are things to consider. I think this team will be cautious especially after drafting LVE with some of his medical red flags. We need to get this pick right. Someone that gets on the field immediately and performs at a high level. Easier said than done but that’s what I hope for.

If CB Caleb Farley is there, Cowboys need to take him.

If Farley is gone, trade down several picks and pick up an extra late 2nd rounder (plus a late 3rd day pick). Use that traded down pick to get CB Eric Stokes (or that Tulsa LB Zaven Collins...or that Alabama DT Christian Barmore...or trade down again into the 20s in the 1st round and pick up another late 2nd round or early 3rd round pick, plus a late 4th or early 5th rounder). Pass on CB Patrick Surtain II.

Drafted by any other team ... 16 game starter, all rookie team and a pro bowler

Drafted by Dallas ... plays 3 games and is banged up all year lol

Not a fan of drafting corners early, but the top needs do not align with pick 10.

Farley is the only player I'm interested in at all in that range.

Its time this team added a corner that makes QBs know where he is.

They need to get things turned around in the turnover department. Farley will help there.

Agreed.

For me its Farley at 10 or deal down.

I have a feeling the actual pick will be Surtain.

Perfect fit in Dallas.....overhyped, overdrafted and eventually overpaid. I don't think he is awful, I think he is a Diggs clone. No bueno at 10 overall.

I think he is a Diggs clone

They're the opposite.

Diggs is all tools, no technique.

Surtain is a technician.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys pick Surtain. Jerry has a very bad habit of listening to the majority of fans' demands. He probably does it to keep them happy in order to keep sales going, but those picks usually end up sucking and costing the team. Jerry needs to stop that crap and start picking much wiser. Surtain will be just like Diggs: very good technically but susceptible to getting beat by quicker and faster WRs. It would hurt our D-secondary to have both starting CBs be capable of getting beat often by quicker and faster WRs. We need size, quickness, speed and a ballhawking playmaker at CB. Farley fits that mold. To a slightly lesser degree, so does Stokes and Horn. Surtain does not. He's too slow.

With the depth at corner, I much rather land a 2nd tier player along with of the of 2 top safeties.

I hear you, but I meant overall impact on things, not really how they get there. That other stuff is your thing and I appreciate your posts.

I could be very wrong but I think Farley is more of a ball hawk, and thats what I'd look for in a top 10 pick.

I think we will both be saying this until early May lol....landing a safety that can start immediately is vital in this draft for several reasons.

Farley is the only player I would take as opposed to dealing down from 10 if possible.

I dont see the top players in this draft being as different from those in the 25-50 range as they often are.

Theres a ton of uncertainty with opt outs, etc...

So, for me, it's deal down if you can. Farley is the only one who changes that for me.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I am a Jaycee Horn fan! Sign me up for him in a move down to say the 15-20 range.

 

[Aven8]

I’m sorry folks but playing football matters. All the opt outs scare me. Only because it could take awhile for them to be normal again.

 

[Bizwah]

Farley has quite an injury history.

Torn ACL is something that you can live with. Usually players can come back stronger.

But his back injury.....that's another story entirely.

I'm out on the guy with pick 10. I don't care if he runs a 4 flat forty time. If he fell into the late part of round 1....then I take him.

You can't really bet on this.

No guarantee that either of Moehrig or Grant is any better than Woods, especially in the short term.
