I Really Want Us To Pick This Guy Up In The Supplemental Draft , Glenn And Henry Are Gettin Old . And Newman Is No Youngster... With Courtney Brown And Oliver As Our Possible Future Star Corners I Say We Take The Chance

He looks good, but it'd be hard to justify anything more than a third round pick for the guy. There might be a team willing to give up a high second rounder at least, and I doubt we offer up our late first. He appears to be a good player but I just don't see the Boys getting him.

Depends on the pick, but yeah, our CBs are getting up there.

Henry will be turning 31. Newman will be turning 29 this season (and in a year or two need extending....and with the contract handed out to Clements, it will be interesting to see if we re-up Newman because he will be 30/31 and commanding a large salary). Glenn will be turning 35 this year.

But yeah, we need to look at CB in the near future.

You are really putting the cart before the horse on Brown. He's a 7th round pick. He's a long shot to even start in this league. We should be happy if he can make the team and press Reeves for playing time.

Actually, it sounds like Newman is going to get extended soon

I've seen him play as well -- he hasn't faced real competition.

I played against him in high school and ran track with him. It'd be really cool to see him play for dallas

I've never seen Brown play but have read lot about him & either Kiper or Gosselin identified him as their sleeper. Was very pleased when we drafted him in the 7th round & surprised he still there. The only knock against him was quality of the WRs he faced at Cal Poly & some questioned about his speed which he put to rest on pro day running a 4.35. This kid has the size, speed & smarts (engineering student) to become a good NFL starter someday but needs time to develop. He'll definitely make the team this year & beat out Nate Jones.

Don't know much about the other CB we also drafted in the 7th round except last name is Ball and he's been a 4 year starter at a major midwest school. Supposedly more polished then Brown at this stage but lacks Brown's speed. Ball's probably only a PS player.

He also was a big fish in a small pond as teams avoided throwing at him his final season at Cal Poly.

No, he wasn't from a big school, but neither were players like Everson Walls and Aeneas Williams. They seemed to do alright.

With cornerbacks, I don't see the competition factor as difficult to overcome, as long as the work ethic and the physical tools are there to handle to step up in speed.

They did -- part of that is because he was so much better than the scubs he played against, the other part of it was the other corners sucked.

I am sure Jeff Ireland is on top of the situation! :starspin
