Obviously, I am much more attuned to what the Cowboys' needs are than to the rest of the league, so I will limit my comments to Dallas with one exception: Darren McFadden (aka Run DMC) is the most explosive, versatile back I've seen since Marshall Faulk. If he falls out of the top 10 due to "character issues," I guarantee that he will make it his mission to destroy all the teams that passed on him. The personal slight, real or perceived, is a powerful motivator in professional athletics. In the NFL, Randy "Straight Cash, Homey"Moss and Warren Sapp are the best examples of guys who fell and took it personally. Moss has focused his energies on one team, in particular: the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah. Moving on...
Dallas' top needs are CB, WR, RB, and the Hog maulies up front on both sides. I would be SHOCKED if Jerry Jones took a RB in round one (in which we have 2 picks). There is so much talent available at that position, I just can't fathom why JJ would spend 1st round $$ on a guy that will be a backup/complimentary back to MBIII (who JJ is trying to sign to a long-term deal). So much of draft strategy now is dependant on the salary cap. You can't spend all your money at one position.
With that in mind, I would like to see the following scenario:
- Trade #22 and #28 to Detroit for Roy "the Other" Williams and the #15,
- Draft the highest rated CB on the board with the #15 pick (Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie, Leodis McKelvin, Mike Jenkins, or Aqib Talib),
- Take BPA for the rest of the draft
- Skip merrily to training camp.
Without a trade up, I would like to take any combination of WR Limas Sweed, CB Brandon Flowers, LB Jerod Mayo, DT Kentwan Balmer, or DE Philip Merling.
