Cowboys' Draft Drama: Smokescreen or Surprise?

0:00On April 22nd, the NFL draft kicks off Thursday night, and the Dallas Cowboys sit at the 12-pick, ready to pounce. With the clock ticking down, rumors are flying about their targets, mixing offense and defense in ways that have everyone guessing. Monday brought word that Dallas might grab Arizona State-wide receiver Jordan Tyson at 12, even though their defense screens for help after a rough season. Then Tuesday heated up with talk of LSU cornerback, Mansour Delain, the top guy at his position, possibly sliding right to them. Fans are buzzing hard. Delain blazed a 4.340 at his pro day, so most figured he'd go top 10 easy. For Cowboys nation, landing him would fix their secondary woes and spar dreams of a shutdown defense. But here's the real play. All this league talk smells like pure smoke screen. Teams, including Dallas, love feeding the media to fake out rivals, had trade value, or hide their true loves. Until the Cowboys are on the clock. Thursday, treat every whisperist chess moves in the draft game. They're just keeping opponents off balance for that.
