In our FanHouse Mock Draft, we figured that Dallas may go after a cornerback with the pick. And that was before they dealt for Pacman Jones.
They did so by trading up and selecting South Florida's Mike Jenkins.
This is a huge need for Dallas as their secondary was very, very shaky last year. If everything stays the way they expect, they now add Pacman Jones and Jenkins into the mix in a huge upgrade.
However, the fact they dealt up and seemingly targeted Jenkins means they are at least midly concerned that Pacman won't be reinstated this year. Jenkins was deemed one of the big four corners in the draft (along with Leodis McKelvin, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Aqib Talib). The other three were gone and Dallas made a decision to move up three spots to make sure they got him.
Still, even if Pacman is reinstated, this was a big enough need that warranted making this pick. The Cowboys figure these two guys will thrive in Big D.

1. Look Dallas don't need no more head{PacMan} aches. They got enough with R0mo. Maybe they should get them a real good back up Quarterback that is willing to give 100 per cent to the team instead of one that puts his lust life first.
If Jerry would invest more money with the rest of the team that makes R0mo look good, then just maybe, we can get another Super Bowl Win!
