I take Surtain. Scoring 30 a game is pointless if your defense is giving up 40
So then you want to add to the offense so you can cry about Dak not winning games when our defense is getting gouged for 40 plus points a game again? Makes sense.Im taking Pitts is both are available
Surtain isnt fixing this defense when we are still weak up the middle. We have crappy safeties, LBs, and DTs
Pitts won't be there anyway but it's a fun discussion. NFL.com thinks Surtain would be a lock down corner and they do have Pitts ranked higher. Mike Tannenbaum (sp) is right about the defense it's pretty much what I said the other day in the draft analysis.
"Lockdown, press-man cornerback with elite size, length and talent to match up with any brand of receiver from any place on the field."

just what the Cowboys thought when thy passed on Moss.
Greg Ellis over Randy Moss 2.0
A guy that's considered a once in a lifetime generation blue chip TE over a red chip CB that's not even a top 5-8 overall CB prospect.

Surtain is closer to Pitts then Ellis was to Moss. S2 would make more of an impact on the Cowboys then Pitts because we already have one of the best receiving cores in the league but have one of the worst secondaries.just what the Cowboys thought when thy passed on Moss.
Pitts is graded 7.19 and Surtain is 7.02 which is considered pro bowl talent. The only player in the draft with a perennial all pro grade is Lawrence. If Surtain and Pitts are there and they take Pitts at least they got the better player but you aren't going to fix the defense with day two and day three picks no matter how well they draft so say hello a multi year rebuild on defense. But to be honest even if they take Surtain it will still probably be a multi year proposition.
That's revisionist history. They passed on Moss because of character issues, as did several other teams.
