I think we are going to have a chance to get the best safety in the draft next year in the top 5. No worries, guys.

LOL, Claiborne's teammate Eric Reid.

Actually I would really take a hard look at Bacarri Rambo if he does indeed enter the Supplemental. Jerome Henderson, Brandon Carr, Morris Claiborne, and Bacarri Rambo = fixed Secondary.

I actually don't hate this move.

I wouldn't have done it but I don't hate it.

There are those who truly believe Claiborne is a far more gifted cover CB than Patrick Peterson was/is. Now Claiborne isnt the extreme return threat Peterson is, but he's a bigtime CB

Dumb fucking move. We need players at so many positions. This just cost us a realistic shot at improving the offensive line this year.

I'm just about fucking done with this team! Jerry! Take a look at the Patriots, Giants, Packers, etc... THEY DON'T MAKE MOVES LIKE THIS!

Instincts/Recognition 2 Instincts continue to improve with more game experience. Shows confidence in press-man coverage. Displays above average awareness in zone. Confident in trail position. Will bait QBs to throw his way by keeping distance. Knows limitations and can capitalize when QBs take the bait.
Cover Skills 1 "Has experience playing inside but spends majority time on perimeter. Can continue to improve upper-body strength and needs to become more consistent with press technique. However, he has long arms and generally does a very good job of re-routing WRs when in press. Outstanding foot quickness and fluid hips for a taller corner. Can flip his hips quickly and shows the top-end speed (even faster on tape than 40 time) to run vertically with faster SEC receivers. Shows legitimate second-gear and can gain ground when ball is in the air. Tends to get too high in backpedal, especially when playing off. But shows good burst out of his pedal and closes quickly when playing the ball thrown in front of him. "
Ball Skills 1 Former wide receiver. Few college cornerbacks show his awareness and ability to track the ball over his shoulder. Outstanding body control. Shows ability to lay out and make diving catch. Appears confident attacking the ball and has cashed in on most opportunities. Production matches tape (11 INTs in 2010 and 2011 combined). Shows some wiggle and explosiveness after INTs. Also has shown big play ability in the return game.
Run Support 3 "Above-average in run support for a cornerback but not as big, strong or physical as former teammate Patrick Peterson (Cardinals). Gets pushed around at times by bigger blockers and it takes him a bit too long at times to get off of blocks. But there's no question he's willing to support the run and mix it up physically. Flashes a bit of a mean streak. Will break down in space and stay under control. Attempts to wrap up most of the time but occasionally leaves his feet and puts his head down. Should continue to improve tackling skills with more experience. "

so? do they have a monopoly on how to win or something? Teams win in all different sorts of ways

Getting great players isnt a bad thing to do, and Caliborne is a potentially great, shutdown CB

Mostly I'm just glad we didn't take Michael Brockers at 14.

I think we are going to have a lot (more) pissed off fans when we see who is still available at 45.

Its a little bit of a downer that we wont have a 2nd, but I never really thought they'd be in a position to get Claiborne either. If you take out the QB's from the equation Claiborne was probably one of the 3 best players in the draft.

I just like that the Cowboys saw a player they couldn’t live without instead of taking someone they have to take at that spot. Next year might be fun to watch. I can’t watch corners sitting 15 yards back on 3rd and 10.

Even if Claiborne is slightly better than Newman ever was, this is a shit deal.
