As you know, tomorrow is the NFL Draft and for us avid Cowboys fans the waiting is almost over. Well actually, Jerry Jones has already used his 4th round pick.
This week Jerry and the Tennessee Titans ironed out details for the Dallas Cowboys to retain the rights to all-world cornerback Pacman Jones. Of course, this was no huge surprise and as I have stated before using a 4th round pick for a proven superstar player is really a no brainer.
But that is just the beginning of the fun for our Cowboys. They have 2 first round picks and since Jerry’s boys have a solid history in finding value in the first round, I am excited.
Now, I was thinking that the Cowboys would go after a cornerback and a wide receiver in the first round, but since Pacman fills the cornerback need I’m thinking the will look for a running back instead.
Felix Jones will probably still be around for Dallas’ first pick at number 22. Being an Arkansas Razorback gives him one foot in the door, even if he was only the second best RB on his team. Look for Jerry Jones to grab him if he is still available in this spot.
The Cowboys also have the number 28 pick and will probably go after the top speed wide receiver available. DeSean Jackson from California fills this need very well. He should be able to take some pressure off Terrell Owens working from the slot.
Dallas also has a second round pick, number 61 on day 1 of the draft. Depending on who is left available you can expect them to take an offensive lineman or a quarterback.
There you go, day 1 of the Dallas Cowboys draft will be eventful and could perhaps decide their fate as the next dominant team of the NFC. Come on Jerry, make us proud!
