I would love to trade #28 for a second and a third-rounder, but I hate doing mocks with picks we don't have. Still, it's what I'd like to see so I'm doing one of each. I'll wait til after the combine to get into rounds 5-7.
Without trade...
1) Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (CB)
Best man corner on the board.
1) James Hardy (WR)
Big and gets deep, despite his supposed lack of speed. All he did in '07 was catch 79 balls for 1125 yards and 16 TDs. He reminds me of Burress.
2) Heath Benedict (OG/OT)
He played for a small school so the level of competition he faced wasn't the greatest, but he mauled everyone he played. Great run blocker. At 6-4 and 321, he's a fantastic athlete with quick feet.
3) Shawn Crable (LB)
Crable is a big, fast player with a knack for getting to the QB. He had 7.5 sacks and 28 TFL this past season.
4) Justin Forsett (RB)
Guy is fast, a gamebreaker in the true sense of the word. But he's also powerful, able to run well between the tackles -- the perfect compliment to MB3.

1) Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (CB)
2) James Hardy (WR)
He drops to our first pick in the second round.
2) Heath Benedict (OG/OT)
3) Shawn Crable (LB)
3) Trae Williams (CB)
A fast, ball-hawking corner. He picked off six balls in 2006 and six more in 2007, returning half of them for scores.
4) Justin Forsett (RB)
Other players I like: I like Nicks a lot, as well as Cherlius and Anthony Collins. I'd take any of them at our pick in the second. I like Dwight Lowery too. He's big and fast with great ball skills. If Chris Johnson is there at the end of round two, which I doubt, I don't see how we can pass him up. Two WRs I like are Caldwell and Hubbard. Caldwell is a burner with good size who runs well after the catch. Hubbard was productive in '06 and screwed up his knee in '07. He was averaging 21-yards a catch at the time. He's 6-4 and runs a 4.45, so he has the tools. May be worth moving up late in round four. Matt Forte is a stud. If it can't be Forsett, I wouldn't mind seeing Forte in the Dallas backfield.
