My point is that you cant discredit the job Deion does based on how he does it... The fact of the matter is that he DOES have a reputation and that reputation prevents the QB from throwing his way more times than not... He also DOES have better speed and hands and vision than Newman, and in addition to that reputation, it shouldn't even be a consideration at this point who is better... An OLD Deion is still better than any, ANY, ANY cornerback on the Cowboys... Now, when you consider how old he is, how easily he can break down, and how terrible he is at wrapping up, I think it is obvious you would pick Newman over Deion at this point, but that does not make Newman the better CB...

I would pick Deion in his prime easily over any Cowboy CB. But today's version is a shell of that, and yes I think that Newman today is the better CB. Now as to the use of the #5. Why a LB or DE? Maybe a DE, and get a vet CB -- but LB. They have 4 very quality LB's on the team now, that are not extremely old.

The needs I see are CB, upgrade at safety (unless Woodson comes back soon), DT, DE (I think Kaleen will be starting next year), and then LB on the defensive side of the ball. Unless their is a Ray Lewis available at #5, then I don't even think of LB. I think if Bill could get a big NT, like Sam Adams or T Washington, they would go 3-4 with Kaleen Thorton as a LB, and Glover/ Ellis as the Ends.

I would like to see them move a 2nd rounder to Miami for Ricky Williams, and see what they could do. (not sure it would happen, but I think they should offer it -- if Bill thinks he could work with Ricky)

Tight End -- covered....Witten and Campbell with a backup will be enough
QB -- Untested Henson - with high enough pick, take another one maybe
O Linemen - maybe need 2 more.
Rec -- have 3, need a couple more
RB - have questions...JJ can be good - maybe, Anderson is not a game breaker but good, Barnes OK, Eddie is a shell of himself (see Deion), Lee has some pop, but I guess I have been spoiled by TDorsett and ESmith.

DT - have one, need another
DE - have one, and one speed rusher, one fairly good....but could use upgrade
LB - have 4-5, don't need unless their is a monster on the board
Safety- have 1, have a great vet (who is injured), and need at least one more better than Dixon
CB - have one in Newman who is still learning.........need 2-3 more. Maybe some of them that were drafted, but you are correct, a good Vet here would sure help .
