if they're both on the board and we pick Flowers I think I'll be ill. You never know how there careers will turn out but I think Cason is the better player.

Not to mention the character issue.

The Cowboys are already taking a character risk in Pacman, why not protect yourself by taking the 'anti-Pacman'?

I wouldn't be ill but I too prefer Cason over Flowers (many don't agree with that though). Flowers is too damn short for my liking.

Flowers has character issues? Are you thinking of Talib?

I really dont want either of them at 28...maybe after trading down to the 35-45 range

Point well taken, but that is a gamble that you could lose.

Same here. And I'm not 100% sold on Cason as a really top corner. But I don't like Flowers at all. If you lose a step at 4.59 there's no way you can make it up.

Nah, it's Flowers too.

Google 'Brandon Flowers' and 'Facebook' and check out the pretty drug money pictures!

Yeah, but how many have the trophy for the nation's best defensive back?

Several very good NFL corners have one.

You should check out the list.


Here are a few names:

"The Cowboys have had success drafting past Thorpe winners. Terence Newman and Roy Williams are prime examples. Other Thorpe winners with promising or solid careers are Aaron Ross, Michael Huff, Charles Woodson and Antoine Winfield."

yeah I saw that list, though I suspect you could easily find a bunch who turned out to be nothing...and by the way, Huff is a huge bust...he's awful

I wont go into a hissy if we take either of them, but I have them both rated a little lower than 28th...the Cowboys might actually have them rated higher for all I know

I guess today's the day to see if either of us gets who they want - Felix or Cason.

Whoever it turns out to be, I'll just be glad if they make our team better.

I'm not married to getting Felix Jones, but I do think he'd be a good addition

I have a policy against buying jerseys of rookie players. I only want original Cowboys who become legends here. The only two players who were not original Cowboys that I would ever consider buying their jersey are Jay Novacek and Chuck Howley.

If we draft Antoine Cason, I will break my own rule. I like him that much.
