This years Safety class...

[JBS]

Morgan Burnett

Burnett is starting to look like a real possibility..hes supposedly climbing up the boards

 

[Chief]

I dont think it is very far fetched to see Earl Thomas fall into the early 20s..at that point it is realistic to think dallas could move up to snag him

I've been reading that he could go as high as 10-12 now.

People are going to have to forget about Earl Thomas. Dallas isn't give up its No. 2 to move up that many spots to get him.

Mosely has twice mentioned Nate Allen. I'm confident they really like him. If that doesn't work out, maybe Burnett in the second round.

Dallas isnt going to give up a 2nd to go and get him, you are correct about that. You are also correct that plenty of places are mentioning ET going higher than expected. However, if for some reason he does drop and like I mentioned, into the early 20s, I dont think it is far fetched for us to move up..I will admit that it is unlikely to happen, but who knows.

I really like Allen. Dude has exactly what we need, the speed to get from the hash to the sideline. Which is really important in providing deep help and giving your safety some interception opportunities.

Here is an interesting idea...

let's compile a list of teams in front of us who are REALISTIC options to take a safety in ROUND ONE

5.KC
6. & 14.Seattle
7.Cleveland
13. & 17.San Fran
20.Houston
24.Philly

Am I missing anyone?

 

[JBS]

Earl Thomas isn't going to get past Houston at 20 is what I have gathered..it is going to require roughly a 3rd round pick to jump Houston and snag Thomas if he is still available at 19

 

[CoolNClutch]

I'm a huge Earl Thomas fan but IMO, this safety class is good enough for us to take whoever is there at our own pick. No need to give up any picks to move up unless you're making a huge push to get Eric Berry

I dont see the harm in trading a 3rd or 4th to move up and snag THomas

The Dolphins

 

[StarMan2112]

With the 27 pick Dallas selects Nate Allen

If it's true they like Nate Allen, I think we could trade down a few spots and still get him.

 

[Muhast]

Brewster is almost like a 2010 draft pick, I wouldn't mind another in the 3rd or so. Corner help and WR would be my 1st-3rd along w S. I might have a crush that might not be the best choice, but I would love Jordan Shipley in the 2nd, steal in the 3rd.

Shipley wont be drafted until round three. How is that a steal?

 

[casmith07]

The next tier are 2nd rounders. Nate Allen probably wont make it to 59 though.

I dont think theyll reach for anyone, I think they can move Ball to FS and draft a CB.

But a guy I do want is AOA.

Agree with moving Ball too. Ball played good at FS when Hamlin was injured and I believe will be a better ball-hawk and tackler.

Picking McCourty satisfies two needs, as well - filling Ball's roster spot as a CB (and probably usurping Scandrick) and getting a day-one starting KR/PR.

I like AOA as a returner but not sold on future DB, especially with all the young guys we've got loaded up on the depth chart.

I wouldn't throw him back if we drafted him though - he'd be an upgrade.

And he went to South Florida, and if he plays anywhere near Mike Jenkins' level, he'll be a monster.

I think I just agreed with Bobito. :ralph:

Shipley wont be drafted until round three. How is that a steal?

Because of what he can do. The Cowboys have lacked this type of reciever, speedy slot guy who can get down the field, take covergae away from Austin and Roy (ughh). No one worries about Crayton running down the field or running a crossig pattern. Like I said, i didn't think people would agree but this kid can play, he show's it on the field, he can return kicks and punts. I know him and Tony will click rt away. For me, it would be a steal to get him in the third. U dnt have to agree.

RUN! save your skin!!!

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I think they'll go the free agent route... O.J. Atogwe looks mighty good right now in a Dallas Cowboys uniform.

When is the window for RFA's Closed?, is it before the draft?

 

[Az Lurker]

Everyone talkes about S as if it's one position, but really it's two: SS and FS. Hamlin was a FS that now needs to be replaced. Dallas already has its hard-hitting, good-against-the-run, SS in place; that's Gerald Sensabeaugh.

So Dallas needs to draft a FS who can predominatly excel at covering in the intermediate and deep zones. And while we're all debating who might be hte best FS draft prospects out there, let's not forget about CB prospects who can make the transition to FS because of their zone-coverage skills.

Wade has previously stated that in his scheme FS and SS are interchangeable

 

[dbair1967]

honestly, taylor mays is so much faster than roy he might could play.

Ed Hervey, Alex Wright and Randall Williams were all fast too. Maybe they could be better than Michael Irvin.

Oh wait.
