It might take another pick just to make sure they don't match a fair contract.

I don't get it. It's draft season, when everyone has their pet cats that are sure to be great players in the league.
Now all of a sudden we're scared of the unknown? What happened?
Just remember that Jenkins and Spencer were unknowns, too.

Antoine Bethea-DB- Colts Mar. 5 - 3:41 pm et
Scout.com reports that the Giants, Commanders, and Cowboys are showing interest in restricted free agent FS Antoine Bethea.
The Colts gave Bethea a first-round tender, making the cost prohibitive for Washington in particular if it planned to sign him to an offer sheet. The sides could potentially work out a deal for less than the round-one compensation level, but Indianapolis certainly won't give up Bethea on the cheap.

Dallas scout also says that three names to keep in mind are.....
http://dal.scout.com/2/951390.html
The three players who might fill needs in Dallas are Rolle, Coles and Williams, but none merits the money required to reach a contract agreement.
Rolle is the jewel of the newly released players, but will command a contract that likely will be far richer than the Cowboys want to pay. Many believe he’ll get somewhere in the neighborhood of $7-8 million per year; Dallas has four years remaining on a contract with safety Ken Hamlin that pays an average of $6.5 million per season, so the chance owner Jerry Jones would want to go even higher than that for another safety is slim.
Coles spent the 2009 season with the Bengals, and wasn’t ineffective, catching 43 passes for 514 yards and five touchdowns. But he is 32 years old and heading into his 11th season, and while the Cowboys need to improve at the wide receiver position — a need that becomes vital if Miles Austin gets lured away — Coles is not the answer. It’s not like Dallas is in a complete rebuilding situation, so any new receiver doesn’t necessarily have to be young, but Coles isn’t a player who still dominates at his age. If this were Randy Moss, sure … but Coles is no Moss.
Williams was the anchor of the San Diego defensive line for the past 12 years, and is revered as one of the league’s great space-eating nose tackles. Williams was the man in the middle when Wade Phillips was the Chargers’ defensive coordinator, and played alongside defensive end Igor Olshansky, so familiarity is there. But no nose tackle is going to come in and unseat Jay Ratliff as the starter in Dallas, and the idea that Williams would accept a minimum contract to be a backup would not be popular. Plus, he turns 34 in April, and is generously listed at only 348, and played in just one game last season. Dallas could re-sign Junior Siavii for far less money, and probably get a better — or at least healthier — player.

The dude is a straight up baller, but not for a 1st rounder. I would offer a 2nd to Indy in trade and see if they go for it, we have to save our 1st rounder for O-line.
