What could the Cowboys do this year with two first rounders?

BPA at both picks I would think. If you are like we were last season you could probably even taylor picks to fill needs while still getting BPA.

We could trade back and get a couple of seconds for each first rounder. That would give us 5 second round picks (including our own). Then we could package those up and get 10 third rounders. With continued effort, saavy trading and a little luck, we should be able to lock up the entire 7th round. That would allow us to have 32 picks in a row on cheap talent that could really round out a roster.

We'd be bound to find a steal or two. :p:

My pick:: Chad Jackson and Manny Lawson
Manny Lawson

66862.jpg


Height:: 6-6
Weight:: 250
40 Yard Dash:: 4.41
Verticle Jump:: 40

-Strengths: Is an outstanding natural athlete with rare speed. Plays bigger than his size would indicate. Is an explosive tackler. As a pass rusher, flies off the edge and shows a great closing burst. Is raw, but continues to develop pass-rush moves. Has steadily matured. Shows the speed to blow past top offensive tackles. Chases down the ball well in pursuit. Shows good instincts, takes good angles to the ball and makes sound n>open-field tackles. Is a demon on special teams. Works hard in the weight room, and shows the potential to add bulk.

Weaknesses: Is undersized. Must strengthen lower body and play with better leverage at the point of attack. Can get overwhelmed against the run. Must learn to use hands better to shed blocks; relies too much on strong upper body.
Bottom line: Lawson is a physical specimen with freakish strength and terrific running and leaping ability. He must polish his all-around game but has unlimited potential. With added bulk, he can be a good every-down end. With his current skills, he also could play outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme.


NEWS Look for Lawson to go higher in the draft than expected, especially with so many teams switching to a 3-4 scheme and desperately in search of outside linebackers who can rush the passer. Cleveland, New England and Pittsburgh are always searching for guys like Lawson. -- War Room scouts- sportingnews.com

CHAD JACKSON:starspin

66830.jpg


Height:: 6-1
Weight:: 210
40 Yard Dash:: 4.32
Verticle Jump:: 40

-Hands: Shows strong hands and excellent concentration to look the ball into his hands. Is willing to go over the middle and make tough catches in traffic. Grade: 8.1.

Patterns: Didn't run many deep routes at Florida, but has the speed to get behind NFL cornerbacks. Runs precise routes, and shows a good burst in and out of cuts. Drops weight and settles feet well on hitch and comeback routes. Grade: 8.0.
Run after catch: Turns short passes into big gains. Shows a good burst after the catch, and is a strong runner. Is at his best on underneath routes -- using his size, strength and quickness to get n>open and then turning on his speed to get upfield. Grade: 8.2.
Release: Shows above-average quickness and a powerful burst off the line. Has the size and strength to beat jams. Grade: 7.9.
Blocking: Has the physical tools to be an effective downfield blocker, but must improve technique and become more aggressive. Grade: 7.8. Bottom line: Jackson has good size and deceptive speed. He is a polished receiver who has a lot of experience against elite competition. He is a borderline first-round prospect. If he runs in the 4.40-second range in pre-draft workouts, as he claims he will, he will shoot up draft boards much like the Packers' Javon Walker did in '02.-sportingnews.com

I would rather stand pat than trade back. I loved how we handled it last year. I think we got two very good players that fit a need and we did it without getting cute or trying to get extra value.

I doubt Lawson would be available, but I voted for him. After that I voted "other" and would have drafted probably a nose guard, either Haloti Ngata or Gabe Watson.

I'd love to come out of the first two rounds with Lawson and Watson. It could happen, although I'm afraid that it won't.

I'd be just as happy with Carpenter and Watson, but I don't think Gabe will be there for our second rounder.
