This is old news for some, but in case you didn't see this on various message boards and websites around the net, here goes. A couple of weeks ago, Dallas CBS-11 news went on a tour of the Dallas Cowboys facilities. In the background, on a white board, were lists of defensive backs and defensive linemen from this year's draft. You can't make out the names of the linemen, but you can pretty much see the list of DBs, who some believe are in this order:
1. Dominique-Rodgers Cromartie, Tennessee State
2. Leodis McKelvin, Troy
3. Kenny Phillips, Miami
4. Mike Jenkins, USF
5. Aqib Talib, Kansas
6. Tyrell Johnson, Arkansas State
7. Charles Godfrey, Iowa
I am pretty certain that this is not the Cowboy's "war room" as some suggest, but it is hard to say what this list is. The Cowboy draft people's view of things, a defensive coach's list, or a belief of what the NFL teams view is at large? Or maybe it is an elaborate hoax by the notoriously cunning and sneaky coach Wade Phillips trying to trick others into believing that is the way the Cowboys see things. From the screen shots, you can see Phillips is in the room while this is being filmed.
Oh, and any thoughts you might have on this list for this year's defensive backs or the fit of these backs for the Cowboys?

1. Maybe it was a diversion to throw everyone off, or maybe it was just a Cowboys screw up.

2. Cunning and sneaky doesn't sound right for Phillips (maybe Parcells). How about daft and overwhelmed?
That sounds about right.

3. The team put this video up on their website. Anyone who actually thinks this is a real draft board is an idiot.

4. well i think that they need to draft defensive backs in the first round then draft wide recievers in the later rounds.
