Round 1 tradeup from 27 to 22, trading 27th pick of the draft and 2nd round 2011 the Dallas Cowboys select:

Round 1:
OG Mike Iupati 6'6 330 LBS
We could also trade Koiser and instead of a 2nd a 3rd round pick. He may not start in 2010 over Koiser if we do not trade him away, but Iupati will become a dominant force on our O-line for a decade.

Round 2:
FS Nate Allen 6'1 203 LBS
A great value pick, in this insanely deep safety draft we can not come out of the first two rounds without a safety without being insane.


Round 3:
OT Jason Fox 6'7 314 LBS
Projected as a 1st round pick, fell to become projected as a very early 2nd round pick and then his heart issue set him free falling til around here. For a former 1st round prospect who can play, this is a FANTASTIC pick, can be groomed to take the LT position while Free gets groomed to play RT or vice versa, with Iupati already drafted this has our O-Line set starting in 2011 as Fox/Iupati/Gurode/Davis/Free or reverse Free and Fox.

Round 4:
WR/KR/PR Trindon Holliday 5'5 159 LBS
We need a Kick Returner, he is the fastest guy in the draft may be a reach since he is projected to be a 5th rounder but since Al Davis is lurking he may already be gone (as Adam Schefter already said watch out Al may trade up to the first overall pick to take Holliday so no one takes him!)



6th round:
DT Jay Ross East Carolina 6'6 322 LBS
With two o-linemen picked we will not be selecting another!
Jay Ross more than likely will never develop into a starting NT in the NFL, but we do need someone who will be able to play a few downs a game to keep the All-Pro DT Jay Ratliff rested and Jay Ross will be able to do that.

7th round:
We got two choices here, if we believe in Buehler we can go top CornerBack available in that case I like Brandon Brinkley out of Houston. If we do not trust in the Buehler being able to take over the reigns of Kicker we can select Hunter Lawrence out of Texas.

I know that it was too high for Holliday but we do have the 27th pick in the fourth round. That is close to the 5th round and we need a KR/PR he serves that purpose, he just makes sense there.

im assuming the site you are using has him rated as a fifth? from what ive seen he is rated from 5-7 so i wouldnt use a pick on him till the 6th. i wouldnt reach in the 4th as there is still talent to be had in the 4th and holliday is a 'take a chance on' type guy and those are 6-7th rounders.

Well I didnt want to do two trades, but I could see us trading down with that 4th round pick adding a 7th round pick and a mid 5th round and selecting him there if he is still around, but he just makes sense in Dallas most people have KR/PR as our 2nd/3rd biggest need (and Kicker is usually #1!) so to fix your biggest hole in the 4th round, i'd but that everyday.

I absolutely love the first 3 picks. Holiday is a little early, but I'd take it because I honestly think the Return game is our biggest need to fix.

We won't draft a Kicker. Buehler will either win it or they will give it to Hughes. I won't be shocked if a UDFA Kicker is brought in, but you can mark it down as definite. We will not draft one.

Thank you Hostile, the same thing I said about Holliday it is too early to pick him, but since it is one of our bigger needs I say wth and just take him there anyway or trade down a few spots and add a 7th round pick.


If that is the case then I like Brandon Brinkley out of Houston to be our 7th round pick.

if you just want a burner in the return game and its wth, id just wait and get kendal tilton from newsberry as a late 7th or udfa

I'd easily take this draft. If Holliday is all that in the return game, I don't care if he's a reach in round 4. But of course, if you can trade down, add a pick and still get him, that is preferable. Yet, I believe the return game is Dallas' biggest need to address.

Love the first 3 picks. 4th is a little high for Holliday. I feel the 6th round is more his value round.

Not a big fan of Jay Ross. I hate to compare him to Bruce Campbell but when you finish 2 or 3 game films and come away with a page of notes on other prospects and forget who it was you were looking at in the first place it's not a good thing.

Ross does have the ability to play 6-7 snaps a game to keep Ratliff rested, and he would do it at a higher level than Siavii.

1 interception from our starting FS in his last 34games says otherwise. The same guy has also had only 4 passes defensed the last two seasons combined.

2 combined ints from the starting safety positions the last two seasons says otherwise. Sensabaugh deserves a little of a pass though for playing with the broke hand this yr, at least he did get 8 passes defensed.

Our return game isnt great, but Crayton just had a really good year at punt returns. Not being able to force turnovers is the one thing holding the defense back from being truly dominant. I can live with an average return game, but the lack of turnovers costs us games or contributes heavily to an inability to put teams away.

If you think we're gonna score those to guys where we sit in rounds one and two you're dreaming.

I can name any 50 other playes that can do the same thing and offer more doing it. Kind of setting the standards low.
