That was interesting. Dallas has several good players on the board to choose from. The Cowboys would probably take Micheal Brockers if it unfolded like this. I think he'd be a really good 5 technique against the run. The question is this. Can he develop into a pass rusher from the 5 and kick inside and provide pass rush on passing downs? Brockers is a raw player, and it will be up to his coaches to turn him into a quality pass rusher. That is the risk with him. I like Brockers more than Cox, though. If I rolled the dice, I'd take the player with the highest ceiling.
If it was me doing the picking, I would probably take Stephon Gilmore (CB South Carolina). I just really like the player, and I think he would be Dallas' most talented CB. I see Gilmore as a very save defensive pick, and I see him being a better player than Carr, too.
Trading back should be on the table, because you could get some more ammunition and use it to get back up for Peter Konz. That is a really big deal to me. I want Konz starting at center for the 2012 Cowboys.
