I liked the re-signing of Keith Davis, and with that I think that we'll draft a CB before we draft a FS for two reasons: (1) I don't see Jones giving big dollars to a high-pick FS when he can give the same dolloars for a CB. Safeties traditiomally don't get picked high for that reason, and when they are picked that high they tend to be SS's not FS's. (2) With the re-signing of Davis he'll be our starting FS IMHO. Also, I don't think Dallas will want [J.Reeves] as a full-time starting CB should a CB go down. So drafting CB will protect against that. And if Davis goes down, we can play the CB-draft-pick and move another corner to FS (i.e. Henry?).
So basically, drafting a CB can allow for depth at FS since we can always shift a CB to FS, but if we drafted a FS we can't make the same shift for backing up CB. With all that, I think this is why Dallas will pick a CB with the #18 pick if they don't trade up for a specific player that are targeting (like AJ Hawk?). I also don't see them drafting an OL in the first round since good ones can be had in the second round (like LArry Allen?). This is how the draft is looking to me right now.
