DMN Blog: Another mock draft

by Albert Breer

But this isn't just any mock draft.

A lot of people do these and publish them on the Web. Very few of them are in the NFL Hall of Fame. So seeing someone like ex-SMU and Los Angeles Rams star Eric Dickerson weighing in with one was enough to catch the eye of Cowboys Blog.

Hey, he may have been the biggest train-wreck in the history of Monday Night Football, but I really like where he has the Cowboys going at 28. Here's his expert analysis on what Dallas will do ...

22) Dallas (f/CLE) -- Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas: Acquired from Cleveland last year, the Cowboys use their first 1st round pick to replace the departed Julius Jones with another aptly named runner, Felix Jones. Overshadowed by Darren McFadden at Arkansas, Jones is no slouch and possesses game-breaking speed. Ironically, Dallas may trade this pick to move up and draft the aforementioned McFadden.
28) Dallas -- Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State: This small-school standout impressed everyone during workouts. Playing against weaker competition and his smaller frame prevents him from being drafted as high as McKelvin and Jenkins in the top ten, but he may be just as talented as his cousin, Chargers' CB Antonio Cromartie.
