If Dallas had two 2nd rounders

[Biggems]

would any of you be upset if we went after 2 CBs in the first round?

I know that with only one 2nd, our chances of taking 2 CBs in the 1st is slim to none......however, if I were Jerry and we had the extra 2nd, I would try and shore up the secondary with 1st round talent........

In fact, the two guys I would go after would be DRC and Cason

 

[theogt]

Yes. I would be upset that we drafted a first rounder knowing to a certainty going in that he will not see the field in his first year.

I wouldn't be upset if we went CB-CB in the 1st round anyway.... so long as the guys taken were not reached for.

 

[the kid 05]

as long as we dont take a rb in the first im ok.

 

[CF74]

Disappointed in not grabbing a much needed WR

 

[dogberry]

Since I think we need four cbs to keep three on the field, I would go with two cbs in the first. Especially with the bust rate for cbs and the belief that cbs are the one position that can keep us out of the superbowl, go for it.

He would see the field.

When we went to the dime defense.

Or when Henry gets inevitably hurt, he'd get plenty of playing time as the 3rd CB.

And the reality of it is, we should be a good team next year. Which means, we probably aren't going to get a lot of contribution from rookies anyway. The draft should be about trying to maximize future talent and develop them in areas of future need. And we'll need CB talent/depth pretty soon.

You need at least 3 CBs now. And Henry is probably done after next year. Newman + 2 1sts....

I would have no issue with Dallas taking 2 CB's in the first 2 rounds. Look at how the Eagles built their secondary in 2002 taking DB's with the first 3 picks in the draft. Round 1 and twice in round 2 obtaining Lito Shepard, Sheldon Brown and Michael Lewis. Can you imagine landing a combination of McKlevin, Cason, Rodgers-Cromartie, Jenkins or Porter?

He would only go in on our dime-corner package, which we used probably less than 5% of our defensive snaps. No need to spend a 1st on that guy when, at best, he'll move up to "nickel" corner in the next 3-4 years. That's a total waste.

There is no guarantee we will resign Newman either.

It covers us in case we don't.

 

[BlueStar II]

If we took two CBs in the 1st round, I could live with that, as long as we took either a WR or RB with our next pick after the two CBs.

 

[Big Dakota]

Get ready for some disappointment.

 

[the kid 05]

Get ready for some disappointment.

oh i am we could easily grab that "change of pace" back in the 2/3rd rounds

Could, but bet we do it in RD 1.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

If we had two 2nd round picks I wouldn't be opposed to the idea but even then I dont think we would see two in the first. Probably one in the first and one in the second.

 

[SDogo]

Something like this would be perfect....of course I don't expect everyone to agree.

Round 1(a): Reggie Smith, S-Oklahoma
Round 1(b): Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB-Tenn St
Round 2: Chris Johnson, RB-East Carolina
Round 3: Lavelle Hawkins, WR-California
Round 4: Justin King, CB-Penn State
Round 5: Chad Rinehart, OT-Northern Iowa
Round 6: Spencer Larsen, ILB-Arizona
Round 7: Ricky Santos, QB-New Hampshire

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Not bad. I'd have a couple of changes in there but not too shabby.

 

[sago1]

I'd be upset if we took 2 CBs in the first round. My preference is we draft the best CB or WR with our 22nd and our 28th pick on the other need. The Cowboys must have 3 viable CBs on this team who can play/start every week; we also must add a WR to complement TO or our passing attack will falter. I'd use our 2nd rounder on RB Chris Johnson and probably our 3rd on an ILB; I expect Burnett to beat out Ayodele this year and the new ILB can initially back up Burnett (probably keep Ayodele around this year yet but Ayodele is gone after this year) & Bradie James before he beats out one of them.

We also need get rid of the idea that our first rounders should start in their rookie season. We aren't the 5-11 Dallas Cowboys anymore and it will be much more rare for these guys to start right away.

I can't imagine any possibility that would lead us to do something like that. Knowing how much we A. paid Roy, B, will have to fork out for Hamlin, C will have to fork out for TNew there isn't any way Jerry will want to put that much $$$ into the secondary.

 

[Goldenrichards83]

If we grab say a Mckelvin or Cromartie with our 1st pick and our late 1st there's let say a anyione Cason on the board I would definately consider it however the CB position is pretty stacked and we could still get a decent one in the 3rd or 4th rd.
