ESPN's Matt Mosley -- an enormous Cowboys Blog fan and well-wisher -- took part in the dot-com's Three-and-Out segment, and gave his thoughts on what Dallas should do with its two first-round picks.
I'll to check with This Blog's curator to clear things up, but one thing's certain. He agrees with my assessment that Darren McFadden isn't the draft's best back. I think it's Rashard Mendenhall. Matt doesn't tip his hand on the Illinois stud, but does say he thinks that Jonathan Stewart will be a better pro than D-Mac.
Unless they trade down, there's a good chance the Cowboys will choose between Stewart and Arkansas running back Felix Jones at that (22nd) spot. I would take Stewart even though he may be out four to six months following toe surgery. Jones could be a solid complement to Marion Barber, but Stewart is a home run back. I still believe that he'll have a better pro career than Darren McFadden. (Take a second to write that bold prediction down.)
The Cowboys will wait until the second or third round to draft a receiver such as Cal's Lavelle Hawkins. He didn't put up great numbers at the combine, but I really liked what he did in the Senior Bowl.
Now that Stewart's off the board at 22, the Cowboys should take Virginia Tech cornerback Brandon Flowers or Miami safety Kenny Phillips at No. 28. We know they're high on Phillips because an in-house video crew accidentally captured a list of their favorite defensive backs on a dry erase board. I promise I'm not making this stuff up.
And he's not. Not on board with Flowers there, though. I'd rather have Arizona's Antoine Cason at that spot. Maybe that's me. Of course, it might not matter, since neither of those two showed up in the Top 7 that Dallas showed the world.
