Opinion: We're not keeping Davis, and not drafting a FS high

Here's Beriault's combine workout:

6-2 3/4 204 14reps 4.52/4.57 39.5"vj 10'4/11'0bj 3.80/3.89(20s) 10.82/10.87(60s) 6.92/6.94(cone)

He has plenty of speed and athletic ability for free safety and has been pointed out its all about reads and recognition in zone, speed always helps, but is more important in man coverage which they don't ask their safeties to do with the exception of Darren Woodson since he could cover in the slot.

from dallascowboys.com:
>>> While Roy Williams will return as the starting strong safety, the Cowboys were looking to upgrade at free safety. Davis is the incumbent starter, with Willie Pile, who served as the nickel safety, returning as well. The Cowboys are also hoping for big things out of Justin Beriault, who flashed last summer in training camp before a nagging knee injury forced him to undergo surgery, which landed him on injured reserve for the season. <<<

I still think the Cowboys are secretly hoping Barry-O can play FS so that they won't have to spend a high draft pick at that position.

Beriault still seems more like a SS type IMO. I will be very disappointed if we don't address FS via the draft (day 1) or free agency.
