I'd bet Davis or Ross would be BPA at #28. If they let them slide they had better hit with the player they take.
I personally think Ross is more of a difference maker for us than Davis is even if Davis is the better WR.

Wouldn't surprise me if Davis fell. Been saying it for months and haven't seen anyone mention it from the media. This is underwear olympic season and like it or not, enough teams could be hesitant to take a guy with unknown measurables.

Will the Cowboys pass on him?on film and highlights he looks like a complete Wr who can take over games.

If any of the guys mentioned are there at 28 I'd take them and be happy.

I'm not sure. He would theoretically be bpa, but he has things against him that the Cowboys value. His athleticism is unknown and they favor that as strong as any team. He's also a small school guy which they have shied away from. Finally they just re-signed Williams and don't have a perceived need at WR that high.

I'd be shocked if Ross fell out of the top 15 or if he got passed Washington and Tennessee

Teams love speed. He comes in and is basically the fastest player in the league.

very few alabama guys impress me, ever...it just seems that they are monsters in college, but NOT in the NFL...perhaps because they get "tested" by the NFL? I dunno...the one guys that is likely my favorite guy in the draft is OJ Howard...love that guy....

He's also injury prone and has trouble with press. If anyone ever gets their hands on him at the line, he gets knocked off his route more often than not. Hell, if he's even chipped he gets disrupted. He's fast, but he has plenty of question marks as well.

What's it going to be then, eh?

I'll eat my hat if Ross slides. Smashing the combine 40 record...somebody is going to reach for him.

Ceiling is Cincinnati at #9, floor is Tennessee's 2nd at #18 if I am guessing. Injured or not, that kind of speed plus good production is coveted.
