JJ seems to learned his lesson in recent years. I love the way he now works FA not in a panic, but in an attempt to clear up the draft so that he has no desperation and can improve his odds of keeping the Cowboys strong with a BPA approach.
IT's obvious that our most desperate position is CB. It's also clear that we need a player at WR who can be a threat in case Glenn is truly done. RB, while many are suggesting using #22, is actually about important depth.
Picking at #22 and #28, and then again at the end of round 2 is no way to find a difference maker at any position...it happens even later than that, but the Cowboys are a contender desperate for CB help.
If the Pacman deal goes down, suddenly we're a better team in the secondary than we were last season, and the draft is all about adding depth, including CB...this sets us up to take the best player available, whether it's CB, S, WR, RB, DL, or OG. I saw a poster getting hammered yesterday for suggesting the possibility of taking the best OG in the draft at #22. That OG from UVA is likely to be rated higher than half of the CB's, WR's, and RB's that many fans hope we select in round 1.
I love the rumors, whether they work out or not...it shows me that JJ has learned what the draft is really all about and that going into the draft in desperate need for a 3rd CB or any other position is a sure way to screw it up, especially when selecting in the 20's.
I'm hoping to see a trade for Pacman because I prefer having him and a drafted CB on the team with Newman and Henry rather than just the drafted CB. I'm also hoping for a WR deal...though I'd prefer Roy Williams to Chad Johnson at this point, I'd be happy with either guy. But CB is the draft-maker...with Pacman, all options open to take the best players, even if it means waiting till rounds 2 or 3 for a CB, WR, or RB, the positions everyone has assumed would be first up, even if they weren't the best players on the board.
JJ seems to understand how to keep his team strong by keeping the draft a simple process of adding the best players you can find at any positions.
