A few things. I like Farley, however, I'm heavily on team trade down. I think this is a great season to trade down and see what we get as a result. I think we improve our draft class from that. Secondly, I like Farley, but his back surgery has me concerned. As someone who's had back issues since 2010, I can tell you that back injuries are hard to heal depending on where the surgery on the back is. Your back is where a lot of your nerves are. This is why Romo struggled to stay healthy once his back issues began. Farley is going to be a rookie. So, that's not a good sign. Additionally, back injuries can impact things like speed because the pain from the back can hinder the mindset. So, I'd like Farley after a trade down (though I prefer Moehrig), however, my concerns are about his health with his back issues.
I agree, the more I look at this draft the more I am convinced that trading down to add another pick in the 2nd is the right move. But I have a feeling if the CBs are off the board, the Cowboys are going to take Parsons or an Edge rusher. Jerry loves drafting pass rushers because he heard that's a good idea.
