1. St. Louis Rams —Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
In Version 1.0 of our 32-team mock draft , we had Clausen going first overall. That has changed with the rumors that St. Louis has more interest in Bradford as the ticket to future success.
2. Detroit Lions —Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
The Lions are rumored to have heavy interest in OT Russell Okung, but look for them to take the highest-rated non-QB ...
In Parts I-III of our “Grading the ‘Boys'” Series , we analyzed the production of the offensive line and running backs. We now swing over to the defense to critique the play of the Cowboys’ top three cornerbacks.

“I think I can be one of the all-time greats. It’s part of the system. I think the Cowboys are a great fit for me. The system has to change for me to produce. There’s some things they have to do on the coaching side of the ball to make me...fit into the system. It’s not just all on the player. There’s ...

Posted: 8th March 2010 by Jonathan Bales in NFL
In versions 1.0 and 2.0 of our Cowboys Mock Drafts, we had the team selecting Penn State DT/DE Jared Odrick and USC OT Charles Brown , respectively. While we would still guess Odrick will be the pick if forced to select today, drafts can take wild twists as the result of just one event.
In this version of our Cowboys Mock Draft, we will describe a path ...
We have sorted the Cowboys restricted free agents into those who are working on long-term deals, those who are not working on new contracts but will be on the team in 2010, those with uncertain futures, and those named Shaun Suisham.
Working On A Long-Term Deal
WR Miles Austin- 1st and 3rd Round Tender $3.168 million
The lack of a long-term deal has many Cowboys fans ...
Yesterday, we detailed the “winners” of the NFL Combine . Today, we analyze those players who may have substantially hurt their draft stock.
Ole Miss RB/WR Dexter McCluster
We think McCluster’s poor performance at the Combine is a bit over-hyped. Yes, he ran a 4.58-40, but he showed explosion with a 37.5 inch vertical. In addition, McCulster also proved he has been working out, posting an incredible 20 ...
Julius Peppers To the Dallas Cowboys: Six Reasons Why It Won’t Happen

1.á The emergence of Anthony Spencer
Anthony SpencerÆs play in 2009 was undoubtedly the number one reason Dallas was able to maintain the second-ranked defense in the league.á His seven sacks do not do him justice, as he was creating havoc in the backfield from week one.á Once the first sack came, the rest followed in bunches.
Perhaps just as important as sacks is quarterback hits.á According to ...

Suh's athleticism and intelligence make him a seemingly can't-miss prospect.

Amidst reports that Randy Moss could be headed to Dallas (albeit from the biggest “gossip magazine” in sports, ESPN), DallasCowboysTimes.com will detail six reasons why signing Randy Moss would be disastrous for the Dallas Cowboys.
1. He will want too much money.
If Dallas trades for Moss, it is likely that he would want a new contract. With $45 million invested in Roy Williams and a Miles Austin ...
