Any combo of Eric Reid, Baccari Rambo, Phillip Thomas, Tyrann Mathieu, David Amerson, or Xavier Rhodes would satisfy me. But, I want Mathieu the most.

100% agreement from me. Theres something about this Mathieu guy which I love. I still say worst case that if Mathieu is a liability in coverage, worst case he is still a great returner and blitzer out of the nickel. I love xavier rhodes, but he's going 1st barring an awful combine (same can be said for Eric Reid). And as I mentioned earlier, the cowboys are in perfect position to build LSUs secondary from last year. They have a mid first now (where Reid is projected to go) and have a need at FS. They already have Claiborne. They can easily get mathieu to be that fiesty zone CB since their moving to a 4-3 tampa 2 defense. Add in simon and they can have 4 of the LSU guys.

Btw I watched a little bit of the East West Shrine game and 3 guys really stuck out to me.

Devin Taylor South Carolina a 6'7 270lb DE/OLB who is fast and obviously tall and can bat down passes left and right. He looks a lot like Pierre Paul.

Cooper Taylor a 6'4 220lb FS out of Richmond. He played well, but with his size and some coaching, definitely some potential there.

Matt Evans New Hampshire 6 230lbs MLB 3 time Buck Buchanan finalist, 1 time winner. And 3 time FCS all american.

Earl Watford JMU Guard- I didn't see him play but hear good things about him.

David Bass Western Missouri State DE/OLB--Same as watford

Any of these corners but I want DJ Swearinger for our safety pick.

Here is the final official list of draft entrants

Best name of the draft Jose Jose DT out of UCF

[MTK]

People sure do love themselves some WRs... and then get irked when Shanahan actually drafts one. I think we're kinda set in that area. Taking a later round RB wouldn't shock me though.

[Lotus]

A late round WR would not surprise or bother me, especially if that WR had return abilities. But certainly WR is not a priority.

I think Matty's idea of using our first two picks on the secondary is a good one. If we used our #2 pick on a S and ended up with someone like other safeties drafted in the second round such as Nick Collins or Eric Weddle, the defense would markedly improve.

[Chico23231]

Yeah WR not really a priority but Hank and Robinson may need pushing by another young guy. Moss was good this year, does he come back with that cap number? Or we could sign Jabar Gaffney = problem solved

[diehardskin2982]

Honestly, I think this year we need to draft some atheletes.

That is why I am open to taking a WR especially if we take someone like

Travon Austin of WV, Denard Robinson of Michigan, or Ryan Swope of Texas A&M. This player would eventually compete to replace Moss.

Helu can have an impact when he comes back so no RB. As long as he still has some speed

On defense, our secondary needs some youth. We have to make a play for Tyrann Mathieu, Desmond Trufant, Matt Elam or Phillip Thomas. I think ole Ray- Ray can come as a UDFA.

I also hope Rolando McClain is released because signing him while LF is here would get his career back on track IMO. He was a tremendous talent when motivated.

[CultBrennan59]

Last years shrine game star was a RB out of small school Florida Atlantic. He went on to lead all rookie running backs and finished second in yards behind Adrian Peterson. I suggest you all check out a little bit of the shrine game on right now on nflnetwork to see a potential redskin or star rookie like Alfred Morris was.

I'm biased but earl watford from jmu fits our offense perfectly. Tall lightish athletic guard who is known as a tactician. He s literally the exact type of guy that fits the ZBS. Doesn't have the versatility that we seem covet though.

As a jmu alum I agree with this selection.

[CultBrennan59]

Haven't seen tape of watford but I believe y'all and wouldn't mind spending a 5th on him.

This might belong somewhere else, but has anyone seen any news on Chase Minnefield. I really liked him coming out and think he could be an answer at CB if he is able to come back. Thus saving us a draft pick early.

[FRPLG]

barring setbacks he'll be ready for otas and camp. He had the same procedure as Griffin just without the LCL repair. Left knee patella graft onto right knee ACL
