Unless he's gone, too. If that be the case, and one of the two QB's falls to #9, then I see us looking to trade down with a team like Miami or Minnesota who might really want one of them.

I find it interesting that King would say this. Seems all I'm hearing this week, is that Newton is "leading" to be the top pick.

*Nice avatar, btw. I graduated from UTC in 2005.*

Yeah Peter King seems to talk out of his rear end a lot.

Thanks on the av comment - my dad was a 4 year starter at CB for UTC back in 77-81.

You seems awful sold that the Cowboys are 100% certain they are drafting Smith and nothing is going to change that.

It really cant be further from the truth.

They like Smith, he's the popular choice right now, he is probably the most likely choice but it's FAR from a lock.

A lot of things can happen between now and the draft and we all know when the clock starts crazy things happen.

I just find it curious because it's the total opposite of the feeling it get which is all options are still open and personally, I'm more comfortable saying even at this point Dallas is not leaning one way or another.

If I had to hedge my bet now I would say Dallas is going to sit comfortably at 9 and let the draft come to them at which time I'm pretty certain from everything I hear there will be plenty of opportunities to trade out of the spot should they see fit.

I think they are taking him, as long as he is available. The only way I dont think they take him at 9 is if 1) someone they have rated considerably higher falls in their laps (like maybe a Dareus or Peterson) or 2) they are overwhelmed by a trade down offer and feel its too good an offer to pass up, even if it means sacrificing Smith.
