Cowboys beat writer David Moore answered your questions in a chat Monday. Here are some highlights.
What are the chances for Ratliff moving to end?
It's difficult to put any odds on that happening at this stage. We still haven't had a chance to talk to Rob Ryan and get his thoughts. But this topic continues to come up because, while very effective at nose tackle, is physically small for the position. There is a belief his quickness and size could create even more havoc if he was used at end where he would have a litlte more space to operate.
We've seen a lot of opinions on the Cowboys' pick at No. 9. Who do you think the Cowboys should and will take?
I think it's early to make that projection with any sort of certainty. The clubs haven't even attended the scouting combine yet, which takes place later this month.
But from what I've seen, it appears that there will be some talented cornerbacks on the board at No. 9. That seems like the best bet at the moment. Nebraska's Prince Amukamara is as good as any name to pencil in at the moment.
The key word here being pencil. Like I said, this will change.
What do you make of Jason Garrett's recent staff acquisitions?
You know, we talk about head coaches, coordinators and assistants all the time and how they set the tone for the team. Well, you can argue no one person sets the tone more than the strength and conditioning coach.
Woicik is an outstanding hire and a signal there will be a different level of accountability.
