What are the chances Dallas is targeting S at #27?
All Early indications are that Dallas is looking for OL early in the draft. Some are even speculating WR.
What we know for sure is that Dallas has targeted OL several times early in the draft and has largely come up empty outside of a few names like Adams, Gurode and potentially Free (if he develops and does not fade) over the last 10 or so years.
We also know that Jones loves looking at OL in round-2; Jerry Jones always pulls the Larry Allan card when making this argument.
We also read speculation that the pick may be WR, but even as recently as a week ago, Jones talks about the young WRs in house, and that he would sleep like a baby if we didn’t draft one.
Jerry Jones may be blowing smoke all the way around as to not tip his hand. But could it be that all this talk designed around OL and WR are to take the spotlight off the S position?
If you ask me, S is a clear area of need. Since Woodson Dallas has had bandaids at that position. Hamlin had a disappointing year, based on his ability, and Sensabaugh (sp?) was very average at times, and lacked focus in the last playoff game.
In fact, Dallas struggled with getting INTs once again this season. And if we look at the secondary, we see solid talent at the CB position. So the lack of INTs happens, I think, because teams pass away from our corners and towards our safeties, because the risk of INT is minimal.
What this tells me is that a true ball-hawking S has been missing from our roster for many, many years, and so I would not be surprised to see Dallas finally target one at the #27 pick, a spot where a true ball-hawker at the S position can easily be had in the draft.
