Cowboys now in must-have mode at cornerback in the draft

[dbair1967]

I had rather us go safety, and then CB.

Guess it depends on who's there. Not sure which safety you think will be there that's definitely worth the 28th pick.

I could see several CB's or pass rushers worth the 28th pick though.

Kinda liking Josh Jones with the 60th pick myself, if he made it that far.

I'm not necessarily talking just first round. This is a very deep DB draft. I just feel safety is the bigger need.

How can you not BELIEVE in Jeff Heath?

None of the cornerbacks have been worth a shit after getting cut from us either, so it isn't solely on the pass rush. Additionally, for a few of those years we had decent pass rushes.

Terrence Mitchell has.

That's what Seattle does. They have great safeties, Sherman and a bunch of spares at CB

Yep, and it works very well for them. You get a top notch FS and he can take away half of the field by himself. They can make your corners look All-Pro. Safety first, then CB.

B.W. Webb is still in the NFL too.

Yeah, but Mitchell was balling out last year.

Helps to have 2, great pass-rushers too.

Well, yeah, absolutely.

That's why I said we can go DB later in the draft. Deep draft for it. Start with pass rush and then move to secondary.

I'm for Safety First or Second Round. Corner after the 4th round

 

[dbair1967]

Still say it depends on who's available. I'm not taking a player at DE, S or CB in 1st or 2nd rd just for the sake of taking one.

If the CB is clearly the higher rated guy and is a walk in regular contributor/starter from day one, you pick him 1st. If its DE or S, that's fine too.

Not 100% convinced the all the early picks will be defense though. I wouldn't be shocked to see them pick a TE or OT depending on how things fall.
