DMN Blog: DRC slips to 22?
by Tim MacMahon
Tennessee State CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie went from a potential first-round pick to a guy projected by many experts to go in the top 10 after phenomenal performances at the Senior Bowl and scouting combine. But NFL.com's Pat Kirwan sees the Cowboys getting the top corner on their board at No. 22.
The Cowboys' picks in Kirwan's latest mock draft:
22. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
There's always speculation the Cowboys are packaging their picks to move up for Darren McFadden. They can stay right where they are and satisfy two big needs, corner and wide receiver. The run on either spot earlier in the draft will determine which area they address first. Rodgers-Cromartie would be an excellent compliment to Terence Newman, but he might have to start his career as the nickel back. A 4.33-second 40-yard dash and size make him a steal at this spot.
28. DeSean Jackson, WR, California
Jerry Jones and Co. take the receiver/returner who can replace Terry Glenn and help open up the offense. Jackson's size and some injury history should make him available at this point in the draft.
Kirwan sees Oregon RB Jonathan Stewart, the subject of today's edition of our draft preview series, slipping to the second round. I'd be surprised if the Cowboys passed on Stewart twice, bad toe and all.
