S vs. CB

[cowboyec]

if Byron stays...S.

if he leaves...CB...even tho I like Awuzie and Lewis.

Good S's make your CB's a ton better.

What is the bigger need EARLY in the draft? I say S...…………………...skewer away.

S and its not close.

Worst case Dallas will be Awuzie and Lewis starting at CB. But is that really bad? If they lose Jones and Brown they still have 2 starters. If anything you get better tackling and better ball skills inserting Lewis to starter.

I’m thinking McKinney from ‘Bama (if he declares) said still be on the board where Dallas currently picks. NOW, if they lose Sunday, they’ll have a shot at Delpit (if he declares).

1-Tech
Safety
Everything else

DT. a pass rushing and great run stopping one, both. Very hard to find, however.

Really a S helps the corners, and vice versa, so either one is fine. Depends on which is available when the Cowboys draft, getting a pretty good safety just to get a safety, and passing on a great (potentially) corner, is not the way to go. A Deion-type corner, who can handle opponent's no. 1 receiver one on one, lets teams double up somewhere else.

Best of either S or CB, if the DT isn't available, is what I'd do....

It's just my opinion, BUT, I don't think the club needs a 1T that's a great pass-rusher. When I think of great 1T/NT, I see Casey Hampton in his prime for the Steelers, or Gilbert Brown in GB, Pat Williams in Minny, or (even more recently), Vince Wilfork in his NE prime. None of them ever had more than 4 sacks in a season. But, what they did AMAZINGLY WELL was destroy the inside running game and occasionally provide a middle barrier in the passing game (if they were still on the field) that didn't allow the QB to step up in the pocket - pocket pushers. I think that can be even more important than sacks - allows the ends to feast.

Nickel is base - Lewis is a starter right now.

The Cowboys have good starting safeties, they would have horrible corners if they lose both Jones and Brown.

Best DB available, but CB is a bigger need.

 

[stilltheguru]

Mckinney and Diggs are nothing special imo

My question is who is available. Both positions are a need, but I wouldn't reach on a less CB or S because I considered it a bigger need
