If Dallas Passes On DeCastro For A Corner, How Will You Feel?

Probably because he didn't ice his kicker. Check the replay. That timeout was called with plenty of time to prevent the kick. The kicker chose to take a practice kick.

Honestly, why is this even relevant? If you can't handle having to kick it again, find a new line of work. You're not an NFL kicker.

I agree 100%

Great. You can always get a decent guard in the second round or FA. Not so for cornerback.

Really, because Hosley, Boykin, Gilmore, Hayward and Minnefield all have 2nd round grades.

Don't dog our kicker, dude! He was a bright spot last year for the Cowboys!

So he missed the kick, show me a kicker that makes all of them.

Don't we need a starting-quality CB with some size? StinkyBall is the only guy taller than 6' and everyone else is 5'11" or shorter.

more than anything we need a CB that can cover

No CB can cover if you cannot get pressure on the opposing QB. I do know that the Cowboys need to get rid of Newman and bring in someone else, but we need some pass rushers in a bad way.

Sure. But even with an improved pass rush, if all you've got at CB is Jenkins and Scandrick, your defense is still going to be easily exploited.


edit - if you think I'm saying that the Cowboys need a CB more than anything, you misunderstood. I'm saying the most important trait of any CB we add is the ability to cover; finding a big CB is less important.

It's all relative really. I do think we need another good CB like you say, but, dude, we need someone to get to the QB besides Ware.

Remember when McSlob scrambled for 15 seconds then completed a pass? I don't remember who the CB's were at that time, but the Cowboys need pass rushers in a bad way.

I don't know who is out there, but I do know that Newman needs to either roll, or take a back seat.

I guess every good cornerback in the NFL was a first round pick and I am sure that there has never been a good cornerback signed in free agency . Did you even think about this post before hitting the submit button ?

I certainly thought about the fact that it's 100x easier to pick up a serviceable guard than it is a serviceable cornerback.

 

[baj1dallas]

What moron thinks we can find later round offensive linemen like other teams can?

Better yet, what moron wants to address our most critical need with later round picks? Let alone on a team so bad at evaluating the position.

we're bad at evaluating talent so you want us to possibly blow a pick on that position?

Before, or after, I chuck my keyboard through my monitor.

You can blow a pick on a CB just as much as you can blow a pick on any other position. The draft is a crap shoot.

But, the Cowboys need to fix the oline so that Romo at least has a chance of finishing a season. A CB is not gong to keep Tony upright.

Empty.

Unless it's Claiborne.

I really, really hope DeCastro is there for the picking.

 

[Chuck 54]

It would be easy to object when the corners that will be available , has character concerns . You don't take a chance that these guys have grown up with the 14th pick .

That's what guys get paid a lot of money for...to do the homework...character issues early in college don't mean issues now....Dez had plenty of issues....Irvin had plenty even in the nfl.

I'm fine with OL if we find a cb to start in FA, but it's silly for guys to be so adamant about #14 before we see where we are after FA.

 

[Bowdown27]

I wouldn't be too upset truthfully but I want to see what happens in free agency. I really want to upgrade our secondary. If we pick up ol through free agency then I'm all for corner. But if we pick up corner and then pick up a corner in the first ill be pretty pissed. We need to upgrade multiple positions this off season

 

[gimmesix]

Although I prefer DeCastro, I can't see why picking a CB would be condemned since it is one of our top needs.

If Dallas has a corner rated higher than DeCastro, then I want Dallas to take the corner. (I don't think any that will be available at that time will be higher-rated, but ... )

To me, this is much like people complaining about the Sean Lee pick in the second round a couple of years ago. Let Dallas follow its board and be happy about it.

And this goes for if Dallas picks neither a corner or a guard. We need to strengthen this roster with the best picks we can make, period. Need, of course, has to be factored in, but we're lucky that we have a lot of needs.

My priority, though, all things being equal, would be the trenches.

I don't disagree. I wasn't saying we need a CB more than any other position, I was saying we need a CB that can cover more than we need a CB with size.

You know what, bro? We need a coach that can teach our CB's to look for the damn ball! Size does matter, maybe to a woman. But, even an undersized, athletic player that actually looks for the ball can make a big difference in how that play works out.

Getting rid of Campo might be the piece of the puzzle that was missing.

Guess this is my issue. Who we draft is so wide open right now cause we haven't even gone through free agency yet and the combine isn't even over. Hopefully our staff isn't close-minded and can be more flexible in our evaluations of players for this team.

Free agency will be much more important on the direction of this team this coming season.
