If we need starters with the first three picks, then why would JJ draft Barron? Can he actually beat out Pool? or Senasbaugh?
Brad Sham: If they take Barron, and they might, it will be because they think he can step in and play. And a lot of folks think he can.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From ThirtypkThirtypk: ]
Who is a better fit, Cox or Brockers?
Brad Sham: They're still figuring that out and they don't have to decide for 2 weeks. Right this second I think it's Cox.

[Comment From JackJack: ]
I know Stephen Jones said that the Cowboys have no plans at the moment to move Ratliff to DE, but then there was the report they are "really high" on Dontari Poe. Do you think that report was just a smokescreen to get other teams interested in taking Poe, either by trading up above the Cowboys or taking him ahead of the Cowboys, so they can choose a player they actually want?
Brad Sham: I think thru like Poe. And I think EVERYTHNG that EVERYONE in the NFL says this time of year is a smokescreen.

[Comment From HOLCOMBHOLCOMB: ]
Do you think the boys should move down and try to aquire more picks or stay at 14?
Brad Sham: Holcomb, I think they should stay, unless they get overwhelmed by a trade and don't move too far. They will get a very good player at 14, one who can help them quickly, and that could be one of 4,5 or 6 guys, I'm guessing.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From Adam krupaAdam krupa: ]
I dont see many elite prospect options at the 14th pick. I understand filling our needs is a priority, but in my mind it makes more sense to grab a player with elite level talent than a decent player thats a need. Especially with todays rookie pay scale
Brad Sham: Humbly disagree. See above.

[Comment From MattMatt: ]
If you could only choose one area of the team to immediately upgrade in the draft, which area would give us a better chance to contend right away: 1) interior o line OR 2) additional pass rush ?
Brad Sham: Those choices are too limiting. They need linebackers and secondary help as much as they need more pass rush.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From canadian cowboys fancanadian cowboys fan: ]
Assuming the cowboys take a DL or LB with 14, which player do you think they should take?
Brad Sham: The problem with answering that is that I don't know who's left. I am a big Courtney Upshaw fan. I'd also remember Ingram from South Carolina. But the answer changes if one or both are gone, and in the draft, sometimes that happens. The question becomes what do you do when what you THOUGHT would happen doesn't?
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From canadian cowboys fancanadian cowboys fan: ]
Who or what do you see the cowboys targeting wih the second pick? Boise has a LB who has potential and could slide to us.
11:33 Brad Sham: You're talking about Shea McClellin, and yes, he's an esxcellent prospect. I think in the 2d round you should still take the best player available. If they take Barron and McClellinn is there in the2d, that make sense. So does an interior o-lineman or a tight end. Don't forget the tight ends, now.

What do you think of Troy Aikman's comments that Tony Romo may be a better quarterback than he? I sensed a concussion joke coming. Thanks for your years with the Cowboys.

---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From StanleyStanley: ]
In your many years with the team, do you think they've been more popular? Even without winning, it seems they are more a conversation topic now than ever.
Brad Sham: Your point is an excellent one, and having said that, they're always more popular when they win. They have a different way to be measured by you who buy tickets and jerseys and products, because the Rangers and Mavericks have achieved in the last 2 years at levels never before reached or thought possible. Bottom line for me, though, Stanley, is that after more than 40 years in the market, I have trouble imagining the circumstances under which this would not be a Cowboys' town first. Just as St. Louis is a Cardinals town first, whatever the Rams and Blues do.

Can you rank the top five Cowboys receivers of all-time? Come on, Frank Clarke! Thanks.

[Comment From JackJack: ]
Brad Always enjoy your work. Question on the draft. When there are so many good players from the same team (Alabama for instance) does it cause any concern that the individuals may get overrrated by playing with so many other great players as opposed to a player that is the only standout from his team?
Brad Sham: It's an interesting point, Jack, but if you ever had a chance to watch coaches and scouts watch tape and hear their discussions of what they're looking at, you might have that concern eased a bit. And it's something they talk about when they watch. They're aware of it.

[Comment From AllenAllen: ]
What do you think the Cowboys most pressing need is int he draft and who do you think will be their # 1 pick.
Brad Sham: I don't mean to sound like a smart aleck, but their most pressing need is for the best football players they can get. They need linebackers and passrushers and DBs and o linemen and a tight end. Who they pick depends entirely on who the first 13 to go are.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From chaddchadd: ]
Any chance dallas goes after M Claiborne since the 3rd pick is up for trade?

---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From DavidDavid: ]
why draft Barron when we have young guys like Church and McCray on the team,I thought we were tring to build within the team.
Brad Sham: If they take Barron, it will be because they think he's better. There are plenty of chances for Church and McCray to contribute. Maybe Danny McCray has a career like Bill Bates. That's not impossible. Don't forget the
importance of special teams.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From ThirtypkThirtypk: ]
If, BIG IF, Claibourne drops to 6th or 7th you don't think it would be a good idea to trade up and get him?
Brad Sham: Well, that's a different scenario than trading up to 3. If a guy starts to drop and he's high on your board, you should ALWAYS try to find out whay and what it would cost to get him. That's how they wound up with Emmitt Smith. My guess is it would still cost more than I'd want to spend, but at point it's absolutely worth a look.

[Comment From JayJay: ]
DeCastro at 14 seems to best bet fit...Starts right away and boosts pass an run game..
Brad Sham: Jay, that makes sense. Here's the question you have to answer if you're in the room: you've got 10 minutes. Who's going to have a better career, fit your system better and help you most, a potential all pro guard or a potential all pro linebacker? That, to me, is what makes it fun. That's where short term need and character and leadership also come into the conversation. It sure sounds like whoever gets DeCastro is going to have a a great player for 10 years or more. And then I envision someone like Upshaw being a havoc wreaker and think how can you pass that up? Or Barron same thing. And you can only pick 1.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From SteveSteve: ]
Do you think the new strength and conditioning coach will have a great impact on injuries during the season? For example, help Miles Austin stay healthy.
Brad Sham: Steve, I think the single most untold and untellable story from last year is what might have been different if Mike Woicik had had a chance to do his work in the offseason. I can't prove it, but I believe Miles would not have had the muscle issues he did if he'd had the program to work in. The NBA is finding out the same thing. The lockout and shortened offseason and training camp were killers.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From GuestGuest: ]
Who do you think is the best team in the NFC east? Who has had the best off-season so far?
Brad Sham: Let's see who drafts whom, but I will tell you this: I did not like DeMeco Ryans going to the Eagles. He's a great player and a better person and leader.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From MichaelMichael: ]
An old chestnut from Landry was that "you'll know what kind of player you have after 3 years." Do you think that will be equally applicable after this year due to the lack of off season and limited training camp last year? If it is, what improvement would you expect to see from Dez Bryant?
Brad Sham: Michael, it's less applicable today because the salary cap has forced teams to play younger players sooner. Sometimes you don't get a 3 year learning curve any more, but the essence of what Tom believed is still true, in my opinion. I would HOPE to see significant improvement in Dez, who I think suffered from lockout mnore than any other Cowboy. I have NO idea what to expect.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From GaryGary: ]
If Pass Rush is so important why are there any talk of taking Barron or an offensive lineman? Are the Cowboys more high on Cox, Brockers or Poe? Poe has bust all over him.
Brad Sham: Gary, I think the answer is because you take the best player. You don't take the best pass rusher available if there's a safety who's a better footbasll player. I think the answer toi your second question is Cox, at the moment. But that can change.
---------------DallasCowboysUniverse.com---------------
[Comment From John T/ GoldJohn T/ Gold: ]
Why all the Barron talk? He really doesn't fit a need. His strengths are stopping the run and weakness his pass coverage. Doesn't make sense to me when the Cowboy's need pass rush and pass coverage. Am I missing something?

[Comment From Terrance HunterTerrance Hunter: ]
Why, I'm not sure you've answered this or not, are the Cowboys allowing Jesse Holley to continue staying in Free Agency Knowing that he did as much on special teams as he has?

You start with Jim Brown. Then you have in no order at all the likes of Sayers and Simpson and Payton and Dickerson and Sanders, and that's just off the top of my head. You see where Emmitt fits in with that group. Somewhere, but I'm pretty sure my top 4 would be Brown, Payton, Sayers and Simpson.

Brad Sham: I was pretty busy with college basketball most of March and I may have missed something, but I think (a) I don't know how Carter rates as an outside linebacker. I've always believed they saw him more as an ILB, so his time and Spencer's wouldn't necessarily compete with each other, dependiong the scheme of the moment, and (b) I think they're in the mode of letting the best players play.
