What are the Cowboys looking for in the 2009 draft?

Before we can answer that question let's look at how many picks we have right now.

The Cowboys have 9 total draft picks.

No First rounder.
2nd round - #51 slot.
3rd round - #69 slot.
4th round - #97 slot, #113 slot.
5th round - #148 slot, #158 slot.
6th round - #184 slot.
7th round - #193 slot, #210 slot.

Did you know they had 9 draft picks? Seems like a lot and I love the fact that they have the two 4th rounders and the 2 5th rounders because you just know Jerry Jones is going to be wheeling and dealing.

I would not be shocked to see the Cowboys move into the late part of round one or early in the second round by giving up some combo picks from those four.

Here's a random listing of players that I would like to see the Cowboys target somewhere in this draft.

Herman Johnson,  OG from LSU - Read here, here and here.



He reminds me of the old Nate Newton that I used to love watching blow open holes for Emmitt Smith.

Jasper Brinkley, ILB from South Carolina - Read here, here and here.



Big time run stuffer who just has to stay away from the injury bug. 

Rashad Johnson, Free Safety from Alabama - Read here, here and here.



He can only play Free Safety, but he's a playmaker who knows how to go after the football. 

David Bruton, Free Safety from Notre Dame - Read here, here and here.



Versatile kid who could probably play both the Free and Strong Safety spots.

Fili Maolo, Defensive Tackle from USC - Read here, here and here.



Will not have to play right away and can develop into a solid contributor in time.

Sean Smith, CB/S from Utah - Read here, here and here



Is he a CB or a Safety? I say he's a very good DB, just draft him and then figure it out.

Demetrius Byrd, WR from LSU - Read here, here and here



He has the speed to develop into a nice #3 WR who can become a deep threat in time.

This is just some of the players that may be available to the Cowboys when it's their time to draft.
