Another? The last time the Cowboys drafted a CB in the first round was 2015. It will be 8 years when the draft rolls around next April. But it has been over 30 years since they took a DT in the first round so I hope the get a shot at one this coming draft. Hill is a free agent and I would not go out of my way to sign him.

All the more reason they may want to find a CB in the draft.

I'm not ready to say this was ANOTHER blown 2nd round pick. But, right now it doesn't look to be panning out. If he can get it together, because he has the skills, and if Damone Clark can fully become the player the scouts said he could be, we could be looking at a 85' Bears type of swarming defense with our speed. I know I said after the playoff loss to the 49ers that I would be even keel when it comes to our team until we get past the divisional round, but I lied!
I believe we have what it takes with the way our defense is playing. Let's do this, baby! GO COWBOYS!!!

yah I think those two young guys can fill in fine. Gotta let the young guys play and develop them. Thats what we have been doing. Keep the core studs and pay them. Keep the others rotating in and out every few years.

Nah I wouldn't. He's been good but the fall off will happen eventually based on history. Plus use that money for diggs

I think he's benefiting a lot from this defensive system and pressure. So first, I let the year play out because we're only five games into the season and a lot can change about his play and his market. Second, we want to retain Diggs, so Brown's cost would have to be pretty low. Third, we drafted Joseph in the second round and Bland has played well in limited snaps, so I think Brown's cost has to be heavily weighed against next man up in this case.

My general inclination is to retain all cornerbacks.

I think you are correct....he is only 28, should have some good years left.

Yes, he has played well and has earned another deal, but not one that would break the bank.

Everything depends on price. Contracts are going up so if hr gets bumped to 7/year that is still a good deal. But not paying him like what they are about to pay diggs.

Yes you resign Brown. If you don't, then you have to draft his replacement next April.

I have always like AB; solid performer. Clearly playing his best ball but I would not pay him top FA dollars at this stage (wrong side of 30). We need to look to Joseph Wright, Bland or Draft

Secondary play is kind of a "weakest link" game. It's not about having one lockdown guy, it's about having 5 or 6 decent guys who don't give up easy catches.
AB's the definition of a decent guy. He's not elite, but he's played at a starting level for 7 seasons now. He could probably get $10M a season on the open market, and he is worth that IMO.
The draft board's only right about half the time, but the track record of going against it is way worse than that.

This thing with bossmanfat is concerning. It's great that he is getting snaps on special teams, but I need to see him play CB more and the fact that he can't beat out Anthony Brown or even make his seat warm feels like a problem. I'm not counting on him to replace anyone and I really hope it's not a similar situation to Randy Gregory where we invested a high amount and don't want to part with it too early because of "ceiling"I'm not ready to say this was ANOTHER blown 2nd round pick. But, right now it doesn't look to be panning out.
