2008 Cowboys NFL Draft
Mar 26, 2008 | 6:29AM | report this

My Cowboys Draft (basically what I hope to see realistically happen)

RD 1
Pick 22: Malcolm Kelly WR Oklahmoa

                  The Cowboys I think would want to pick the WR or CB that would be highest on their overall board, I believe that will be Malcolm Kelly (who I believe the Cowboys will see as one of their top 3 WRs in this draft) when the Cowboys get here, I don’t foresee Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie or Aqib Talib, the top two corners in this draft available so the ‘Boys take a risk of drafting Kelly and hope that their third, fourth, or fifth choice of CB will be available at 28.
Pick 28: Mike Jenkins CB South Florida

                  I would like this pick very much if the Cowboys could pull it off and get lucky. He is quick, by most accounts has good coverage skills, and has the play-making ability to be a KR/PR. That speed could really come in handy for a defensive backfield that does not feature much speed besides Terrance Newman.

RD 2
Pick 61: Jamaal Charles RB Texas

                  His speed and burst is good, what I think the Cowboys need to counter Marion’s style. He is also a pretty good receiver out of the backfield which would be a great addition to have since the Cowboys do like to get the RBs involved in the passing game. I would prefer if available at this slot Chris Johnson from ECU or Ray Rice from Rutgers, but I don’t think they will be available at this spot for the Cowboys to take.

RD 3
Pick 92: Roy Schuening OG Oregon

                  I do think the Cowboys might go Oline a little too early, they tend to go too early on a position or two every draft, I think the 3rd round is the most likely to do it since the previous three picks addresses the most obvious needs. Schening I expect to be a future starter, hopefully with the Cowboys, he was a four year starter, strong, physical very good at run-blocking. Needs to work on his pass-protection and not the fastest but I do think when Kyle Kosier is gone which shouldn’t be in the too distant future, he should make a strong push for that starting spot. 

RD 4
Pick 126: Ahtyba Rubin DT Iowa St.

                  What Rubin provides that is sorely needed for the Cowboys at the NT position is a stout run stopper who does a great job taking on multiple blockers. I really had no idea who of the DTs available in this draft I wanted the Cowboys to take until I did a little research and found out that this guy is the best pure run stopper out of every one in this draft. More than one ‘expert’ said it including Mel Kiper for what its worth. So I say, lets throw those ‘experts’ a bone and pick him up 

RD 5
Pick 164 Josh Barrett S Arizona St.

                  Barrett I see has being a nice pick-up for the defensive backfield and the special teams. Keith Davis becoming a Dolphin has left a void behind Roy Williams and on the special teams. Barrett is a fast, hard-hitting, instinctive (as the ‘experts’ describes him, maybe another way to say he makes good plays while playing out of position sometimes) safety that could help fill that void.

           RD 6 

Pick 169 Ben Moffitt ILB South Florida              The Cowboys will get another player from USF and I think this one would be a really nice pick up for the Boys. Mainly, the Cowboys don’t know what they have at ILB, yes Akin Ayodele and Bradie James are the starters. Backing them up for sure will be Kevin Burnett and Zach Thomas. Booby Carpenter is also a possibility but he keeps switching positions. Burnett has been inconsistent and also does give up quite a few big plays. While Zach Thomas is no guarantee to make the team, and if he does who is to say he will stay healthy. They probably need one more ILB and I like this Moffitt guy.

 

RD 7
Pick 238 Cody Wallace C Texas A&M

                        I was looking to get a backup QB for Romo but I pretty much felt that the Oline should be addressed again and get as many bodies as possible going into to training camp. I have my doubts that Wallace will be available in the 7th round but its always hard to predict teams needs along the Oline. So for arguments sake, he is available and the Cowboys give him a chance.
