Baton Rouge, La., LSU conducted it's annual pro day on Wednesday.

ESPNDallas.com didn't attend but we have a few results thanks to the LSU media relations staff.

*Safety Eric Reid who could be the first or second safety taken. Texas' Kenny Vaccaro has already said he wants to be the first safety off the board. Reid ran the 40-yard dash at the pro day in 4.50. It was slightly better than is combine time of 4.53. The Cowboys are in need of another young safety and some teams might like Vaccaro over Reid. But one agent said he thinks Reid will get drafted first.

*It was interesting to see cornerback Tyrann Mathieu come in with some bulk at his pro day. Mathieu is 5-9, but weighed 186 at the combine. Wednesday afternoon, Mathieu was 194. He didn't run the 40, standing on his combine time of 4.50. Mathieu's off-the-field problems is an issue and the Cowboys don't have a need at corner. Still, coach Les Miles has a good relationship with Cowboys GM Jerry Jones and if Mathieu's name is on the board in the third round maybe the Cowboys take a chance.

*Barkevious Mingo didn't bench press or run the 40, but he measured at 6-4, 237 pounds. The defensive end was an outstanding pas rusher in college and will play outside linebacker in the NFL. The Cowboys don't need Mingo in their 40-3 scheme. If the Cowboys had stuck with a 3-4 and let Anthony Spencer walk in free agency, would Mingo have been a nice selection?

*According to Dallas Cowboys.com Tom Ciskowski, the assistant director of player personnel and Drew Fabianich, the national scout, were in attendance. ... Last time the Cowboys drafted an offensive player from LSU was wide receiver/running back Skyler Green in the fourth round in 2006. Could running back Michael Ford be next. He impressed everyone with a solid 4.41 40 on Wednesday. In the combine, Ford ran a 4.50. At 5-10 and 206 pounds, Ford could be a nice little scat back for the Cowboys offense to compete with Lance Dunbar. ... Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who attended Texas' pro day on Tuesday attended LSU's event. Saints coach Sean Payton was also in attendance at LSU.

You shouldn't be allowed to stand on a previous time if you gain 9lbs. Run again, fatty.

They showed Rob Ryan and Marcus Spears standing around LSU's pro day as well.

I really want us to draft the Honey Badger in the 3rd round. I realize the risk but the kid is an impact football player. He comes up big in clutch moments, he's an excellent return man, and one if the best blitzing CB's I've seen in years.

No to a 3rd, but a 4th for sure. I'd like for us to draft both Reid and HB and have them back there with Mo. Sign the Honey Badger and cut Scandrick.

I don't think he makes it to the 4th. He might not make it til the 3rd.

What??

I've been reading up and doing youtube scouting on Eric Reid recently... Definitely like him in the 2nd round if he lasts.

I wouldn't mind that, and I don't want to hear the malarky that corner doesn't seem to be a need on this team.

So what? Slowly faze out O-Scan

I like Spencer Ware better.

Same here. Not understanding you. I've always stated that I'd rather use a 2nd on Reid than a 1st on Vaccaro.

Works for me or just outright cut him. If you have a chance to come away with assembling 3/4ths of the LSU secondary, you take it.
