Cowboys Select LSU CB Morris Claiborne (Rd.1, No.6)

With the 6th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Morris Claiborne, CB (LSU). Claiborne is a talented cornerback with solid size and athleticism. He offers the skills necessary to be a No. 1 at the next level, and his ability as a return man gives him additional value. Physical, battles hard and does not back down to a challenge. Engages receivers at the line of scrimmage, quick flipping his hips in transition and displays a burst of closing and recovery speed. Aggressive against the run and works hard to make plays up the field.

Freaking score

There were rumors a while back we were trying to deal up for him

 

damn....Carr and Claiborne starting CB's,....not a bad combo

 

I'm okay with this.

 

You say this now.. lol

 

Thats a good question. I would think Scandrick would be the odd man out. Also Jenkins contract is up after 2012 I believe. Or they may keep all of them. Who knows what Jerry has in mind.

 

Honestly, I think they let Jenkins play out his contract. Cause think about it.. He is gonna be playing for his next big payday. So why not let him work his butt off??

It is a win win in our secondary now.. I am really happy with what we have.

 

Anyway it plays out Im fine with. But would rather have Jenkins over Scandrick. Now if they can make some solid picks in the rest of the draft.

 

with the way the game is being played today, teams often have 5 db's or more on the field. nickel coverage is no longer reserved for 3rd and long.

it's hard for a team to have too many good db's in today's game.

 

Alan Ball must go.

 

I feared Newman when he came out far more than this dumbcrap.

this is a huge pick for the cowboys

 

The wonderlic fiasco and his whole reaction to it showed me a lot about his character and intelligence.

I assume there have been men with 'lesser' intelligence that were immature and only had their eyes focused on the '$$$' before they were drafted who succeeded in the NFL. But I'm also guessing failure rate on these type of players is high.

I'm just glad the bastards didn't get Barron.

 

Wut? I no you aint tockin bout ME!$!$!$!

 

LOL!

 

Idk about this. I think they should have drafted DeCastro.

 

Honestly, I think the SB is gonna go through the NFC East this year.

 

Garrett is a football smart guy. I am sure he did his homework. I would of loved to of gotten Decastro but we really needed a solid corner.
