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.
