There's no way to know exactly how strong. I just remember reading from a lot of different sources that we liked Smith, JJ Watt, Cameron Jordan, and Amukamera.

And while we did take Smith, we almost did trade down with Jacksonville.


You are right about that. Kiper was saying all along it would be Amukamara, then he eventually changed it to Watt, before near the draft when it was a foregone conclusion that the Cowboys would take Smith. I'm not sure the Cowboys "almost" traded down with the Jags. I know they considered it naturally, because the Jags approached them first, but they knew that if they did, Smith would not be their at #16. The Redskins would have taken him---to spite the Cowboys because they wanted the trade down, or either the Vikings or lions would have taken him. This was one of the drafts in the 1st that I am glad Jones stood pat.

I highly doubt the Cowboys will take a guard in the 1st round... I see them going defense in the first two rounds.
