Who will the cowboys draft in the 2008 draft?

Answer 1

Dallas' biggest needs are at WR, OL, or CB. We all know about the buzz Jerry Jones and the number one pick is creating, but I cannot see Dallas giving up Marion Barber III and their 2 first round picks for a player who hasn't proved anything in the NFL except that he can run a 4.33 40. With the 22nd pick I see Dallas taking either Rashad Mendenhall (because Julius Jones will not be back next year) or DeSean Jackson, the WR from Cal. My guess is that Mendenhall will be off the board and Dallas will address the need for a deep threat by taking Jackson. It will be important to address the WR position because Terry Glenn and T.O aren't getting any younger. However, don't be surprised if Jerry Jones snatches up Kansas CB Aqib Talib. With the #28 pick I see Dallas taking either USC OT Sam Baker or any number of WR's (i.e. Limas Sweed, Malcolm Kelly, DeSean Jackson, or Mario Manningham) if they do not use the 22nd to draft one. Sam Baker would be a perfect fit because Flozell is aging and will be a free agent at the end of the season. So who will Roger Goodell be calling with the 22nd and 28th pick. My guess:

22nd- Cal WR DeSean Jackson * The need to add youth to the WR corps is a must for Jerry Jones and more importantly Tony Romo

28th- Tennessee State CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie * His speed, size, and his ball skills surprised many at the combine and dramatically increased his stock
