Most indicators has Cowboys going CB with 1st pick

We won’t be if we go with either CB. At least not by the media I follow here locally which I’m echoing.

That’s nice, locally, but nationwide AND on this forum, you know damn well they’ll be no shortage of handwringing no matter what they do. To deny that indicates delusion. Your local cocoon is not as airtight as you pretend.
 
If Slater or Sewell is there I’m not ruling them out. Corner is much deeper than OL

If Surtain and Horn have been taken, wouldn't those like Parsons or Sewell be tempting? I'm just saying, there are several very needy options. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be at all upset with Surtain, nor Horn. Parsons would surely solve our LB deficiency, also. The same goes with Sewell at OT.

Anything can happen in the draft. There's no guarantees we'd get the players we covet the most. I'd like nothing better than to see all of us get our favorites, although we know it can't happen in even the best of circumstances. I think most of us would be thrilled with the guys I've named -- I know I would be.

My only argument is that CB is our priority and intention in 1st round. And if Either of these guys are there , that’s where we are going assuming we stay in place. Anything beyond that is of course a possibility.

It’s all that matters to me. These internet forums or national vibe is not always a reflection of Cowboys Nation.

I’m not denying it’s out there just downplaying it’s importance.

Why would we need to go beyond those following the Cowboys the closet and most invested?

I’ll never understand why ALL Cowboy fans don’t follow and hold the local media and beat writers closet to their vest instead of these national pundits and trolls .

Not sure what you mean by "our." That's an all-encompassing statement that's not likely to hold true to everyone, the FO and staff included. I would hope you wouldn't be upset if Sewell or Parsons is the choice of those in power to affect that decision. I'm quite certain I wouldn't be, if the circumstances were right for it.

CB Depth right now:

Diggs
Brown
Lewis
Goodwin
Canady
Robinson

I'd rather them sign one of:

Steven Nelson (from Steelers)
Darqueze Dennard (Falcons)
Richard Sherman (49ers)

Then draft a CB in a trade down or in 2nd - than spend top 10 pick on one. These players need to be game changers and not sure there is a CB that is that this year.

“ our” is a general referral to the powers that be in Cowboys football. It doesn’t have to be a total consensus .

I’m just echoing the local vibe of local sportswriters and beat writers and mocks that are prioritizing CB on Day 1 if either are sitting there.

I'm pretty much in tune with what you're saying, although, the FO and staff might surprise us all with their preference. They've done so before.
 
It appears we are going CB in 1st round and Safety in 2nd if either of the TCU guys are sitting there. And then begin using rounds later for DL. And whatever positions like OL we might be looking to shore up. Again , that’s the vibe I’m hearing.

Yeah, I don't think there's any question but what our most needy situations are 1, at secondary and 2, at linebacker and safety. The FO is liable to do anything, however. I don't doubt that most of us would put Surtain and Horn at the front of the list. Just saying, don't be upset if Jerry and Stephen do something unexpected, though. I've learned to take it with a grain of salt if they have other ideas.

Anything’s possible but like I’ve maintained if either of these guys are sitting there , it appears to be our intention.

I’m not sure why we’d want to focus more on these smaller possibilities?

I wouldn’t say they are liable to do anything . That’s a mighty broad statement difficult to define. I choose to define my words more carefully.

I think there are potential possibilities out there pending who’s on the board that could deter us from our intended priorities.

So, you're saying you've never been surprised, nor flabbergasted by what they'd done that you didn't expect?? Hard to believe.

What would your reaction be if Jerry decided to move up to take the TE that he covets? I wouldn't put it past him. Hope he won't.

Nope. Not saying that at all. There’s been several .

But there have been some years draft that there was more certainty. I believe this is one of those.

None of the reports coming out of Dallas would suggest we would move up to take Pitts. None!!

I said at the time I wasn't "on board" with the Lamb pick. Hard to tell without Dak in the lineup all year, but we ended up 6-10 with the 31st ranked defense, sure Lamb appears to be a top prospect, but what could the Cowboys have done with a defensive player instead of Lamb?

But we've hashed that out already, just saying that in my view Jerry may not have "did the right thing". We'll see how it works out in the next couple of years. Maybe Cooper gets hurt a lot again, Gallup tears an acl, etc. and Lamb is the calvary...

Keep in mind that the defensive player that they would have went with, K'Lavon Chiasson, couldn't get off the bench for the team that has the #1 draft pick this year. The Cowboys made the right call last year with Lamb.
 
We just need to hit on a few defensive players. We still don't know about anae or reggie, maybe they can play? Hard to tell since they got all of 3 snaps or whatever it was. Don't draft a guy you are not willing to put on the field, its just dumb, find a way to get them reps.

We don't know for sure they'd have taken Chiasson. He started 3 games, I'd hardly say that he "couldn't get off the bench"...
 
Plankton said:
Yeah, we pretty much do know that Chaisson would have been the guy.

And, starting 3 games for the worst team in the league is basically not being able to get off the bench.

First of all blogging the boys isn't Jerry Jones. And since when does anybody believe what Jones says is the truth? The article said the Cowboys were "considering" Chiasson, and "we thought a lot of him" That's not the same as "he's our guy". It'd be a good bet, but since when has JJ done exactly what "everybody" thought?

And 3 games isn't a full time starter, but even one is "getting off the bench". If you don't agree, fine, but there's no one definitive "bench" definition...
