Franky, I don't get this at all... The Cowboys are not in decent (not great) shape at corner... but their Safety situation is horrendous... a selection of Barron would have been a home run, and would have been a very astute response to both Vick and Griffin, whom they must deal with twice each per year.
Exactly what I was getting at. They could have sat tight and kept the 2nd round pick and added a bigger.missing piece. Did they draft any safety help? Them losing a pick and drafting the wrong db is senseless to me. Although Claiborne is good- he isn't that great certainly far from a shut down cb in the NFL. I was bugged when they traded up and suspected Claiborne but was glad to not hear Barron. Maybe they resign Newman at safety lmao
Claiborne was the top CB coming out this draft, BUT RGIII was the number two QB. That's Jerruh's spin.
The four letter network HATES the B&G and it's gonna take more than drafting RGIII to change that.
Look at how Gruden loved RGIII until he was drafted by the Redskins, now he's coming from a bubble screen offense that won't transend to the NFL.
Claiborne can't fix what's broke in Austin, They can let him play man all day, while three other guys run free behind their linebackers or they can play him in zone as one guy goes deep, and another crosses right in front of him... he'll let the guy running deep go because he expects safety help that won't be there (because they have no real safeties) all game.
The FLN can't point this out because Barron was available but wouldn't have deflected the RGIII coverage and made TtiT look dumb.
Drafting Cousins might have lowered the Skins grade but It was a better move than moving up to draft a CB and put last year's starter on the trading block.
TtiT gave up a pick to move up to draft a guy to replace a guy they think will bring them some value by trading him. They didn't address the secondary help they needed. They traded up to create a surplus at another spot.
Cousins didn't create a surplus because Beck was let go right after the pick, Cousins will cost less than $500K and Beck frees up $1.3M.
Claybone will cost about $8.5M this year and Mike Jenkins will cost them 1.052M until he's gone and still about half that after he's gone.
Jerruh wanted to make a splash, "the Danny" was locked in a closet, We Win
