I don't understand why so many on here want to draft a CB

[Zekeats]

To me the number one reason why this team succeeded is our running game. Now we did have great blocking up front but we did also have a great running back too. For anyone who thinks that McFadden will give us even half of what Murray did needs to put the pipe down. I do not understand how we could pass up one of the top 3 rbs all of whom have first round talent for a corner. To me its a no-brainer. Gurley, Gordon and Coleman should easily be the pick so we don't have such a drop off in the running game and one could argue it might even improve with the ability some of these guys have to break big runs more than Murray did. When was the last time a corner impacted a team so much to add to the win category? Give me the guys who touch the ball or are closest to the ball. Those guys produce WINS. QBs, RBs, Oline and Dline always in the first.

Not that I want to draft a CB in the 1st... but RB's are regularly found after the 1df. Forcing 1 in the 1st would be a huge mistake. Gurley or wait. The rest aren't 1st round talents

 

[Biggems]

because our secondary is the biggest weakness on our team

I think most people recognize that RB and CB may be the best value at #27 depending of course on how the draft unfolds.

If you are unable to draft Gurley or Gordon, then Coleman is a second round pick and is reach at #27.

If you still want Coleman but realize he could be gone by #60, then you could attempt to trade down from #27 into the second and then draft him while also adding another pick.

However, many would argue if RB is not there at #27 then CB may be the best value at # 27 relative to who is available.

Others hope a premium DT falls or a more explosive pass rushing DE may fall to #27 and since the RB class is so deep you can still get your RB in rounds 2-5.

If Dallas decided to trade for AP, well the discussion about RB takes a back seat.

CB is a huge need because we do not know if we are keeping Carr and Mo will be unavailable to start the season, so Patmon at the Rcb position is not going to happen opposite Scandrick.

 

[Cowboy from New York]

We all remember the GB playoff game, we need secondary help badly.
With Gurley gone in top 15 somewhere most boards suggest no other RB is top value in the 1st after that. Some say Gordon but not a strong value given the 4 or 5 guys right behind him that will go in 2nd or 3rd.

Yep. I think we're a 1-tech and a FS away from being a very good defense, but I don't think there will be anyone there at #27 worthy of the pick unless Shelton or Brown fall to us. The BPA will almost certainly be RB Gurley/Gordon or CB Peters/Johnson. And in the 2nd round, the BPA will also probably be RB or CB. The positions are loaded enough that you could still get good players even in the 3rd and 4th, but you shouldn't reach for a FS in the 1st who is a 3rd round talent.

 

[RS12]

I would rather get an impact DL but it is about future cap space. Look what average CBs are getting in free agency. The draft provides cheap labor.

 

[Idgit]

I don't want CB or RB necessarily, but with Carr and Claiborne likely FA losses next season, I'd understand the pick.

I'd rather see us get in position to add two players to the front 7 from the top sixty picks.

 

[Beast_from_East]

I think the RB we are going to draft is the Boise State kid, we seem to love guys from Boise State

 

[Risen Star]

Get down with the sickness, bro. We're always a corner or two away from big things.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

If the BPA at #27 is a back you take the back. If it's a DE you take the DE. If it's a corner you take the corner.

I think Jerry is pissed that Carr ain't taking a paycut... Hence if we pick up a CB or two in the draft Carr is a June 1st cut... Mo is hurt so you can't depend on him... That leaves us with Scandrick, Patmon and Slim pickings... RB at least has been addressed.. Not to everybodies liking but the ranch don't read the zone..

Why is Coleman a second round pick and reach? Why? Because of your cbssports rankings? The guy is a stud......I will wait till wednesday to prove you worng and we will revisit this. No need to trade down as NE might take him and he 100% for sure would not make it past the Jets second rounder. Can't wait till the 15th, I just hope he doesn't do too good and run a 4.3 40 and put him out of our range in the first. I hope he is one of those guys who plays faster with the pads on. Teams who could and most likely will be looking at running back are the Jets, Arizona, SD, Browns and Lions and they all draft before us.

I'm not sure at this point that Carr is a "June 1st" cut. Mostly because there's very little to be gained. The "dead" money is almost equal to his salary for this season.

I think the Cowboys hang on to him this season. Cutting him after this season makes much more sense financially.

 

[JBS]

I don't want a CB either

The only rb I want is gurley...so I probably don't want a rb either

I want a DL...preferably a DT...but I'm settle for a DE

NE is not taking a RB with their first pick.

They are the model example of a franchise that puts little to no value in the TB position and just plugs guys in. They aren't taking a TB in the first round.

And even if Coleman dominates at his pro day, he's not going to be a first round pick.

 

[gmoney112]

Really, it's just on draft expectations and BPA.

It is true, we do need a RB. Opinions will differ on the talent level of the aforementioned RB, but I'd love to have a game changer at the position with this OL. There were a few runs, like the GB game, where if he had a little more speed and held onto the ball he was gone. Game changing moments. I'd take that. Is it necessary? Nah, but with an offensive powered game of inches, and our friggin' awesome offensive line blowing up holes, a very talented back can change the game. Just my opinion.

However, the CB position is extremely weak right now and for the future. Yes, you want to build inside out but you have to have some talent at DB too, and the only guy we have playing at an above average level is Scandrick. Carr is as good as gone next season and he is what he is at this point, and unless Claiborne completely turns his career around we're not picking up his option. We're one injury away from starting Patmon/Corey White. I think Patmon actually has a lot of potential, and I'm rooting for him big time, but seeing the Giants gameplan to get Cruz/Odell isolated on him or Corey White makes me more than a little uneasy. If we can't get a guy that can play this year, we're probably going to be drafting 2 DB's next year , who wants to do that? Risen would probably have a heart attack.

Also, Gurley could definitely be gone at 27, and I'm not sure how they rank Gordon. I haven't "watched tape", but I consolidate a lot of reports and those are really the only 2 in consideration for 1st round picks. (Coleman could be an underdog, you don't get those stats at a subpar school without being a damn good football player, i'll ive him that. and yes our bet is still on )

I also believe the DE's that will be available at the pick are going to be developmental players. (OO is a possibility, but hip injuries as a DE does concern me a lot. Your hips are vital to your success at the position). And I don't believe any of the DT's available at 27 will be THAT much better than the 2-3 or even some 4th round prospects in this draft. I'm also prone to believe if Hardy shows up this season, he's going to be a Dallas Cowboy for a while.

It just so happens that, in my opinion, RB/CB or even possibly Kendricks will be the BPA at our pick. I'm all for BPA. It's all projection right now, of course, but I'm good with any of them as long it isn't a reach. I'm also thinking that the difference between the 1/2nd round RB at our first round pick will be marginally less than say a 1st round CB to a 2nd rounder.

That's my reasoning at least.

 

[Teague31]

Two reasons. And they are named Brandon and Morris

 

[CATCH17]

The only reason I would want a CB at all in the first round is that you could possibly get a quality Corner on the cheap for 5 years.

Other then that I don't want to do it.


I'd almost rather take a right tackle and keep building on our strength.

 

[viman96]

RB, CB, DL in any order. IMO the team believes they are setup to take their best player on their board when they pick at #27.
