The Dallas Cowboys Take Tyron Smith
The Dallas Cowboys Can go many ways with this pick. They can look for an offensive lineman, improve their secondary, or they can trade down and try and fill one of the two needs later.
I think the Cowboys will try and trade down, but since we are not predicting trades, we will go with what we have.
The play of Mike Jenkins at corner in 2010 should have been criminalized. Jenkins looked like he either gave up, or just did not understand what his role on the field was supposed to be. Either way, Jenkins should never be allowed to play professional football again.

But Patrick Peterson is off the board and reports out of Dallas indicate they do not want Prince Amukamara. If the Cowboys do not trade down, then they will take Tyron Smith and beef up the offensive line.
With Smith on the board, the Cowboys get a good player and fill a need. Tony Romo needs good protection and the Cowboys can not afford to lose Romo again for another season. He already is past the age of 30 and is running out of time to lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl.
If the Cowboys take Smith, expect them to look for a cornerback in the second round.
