Does Dallas have some kind of cosmic belief drafting a CB fifth is prophetic?
oh wait, nevermind. it was sixth.
it would be cool if they covered the opponent occasionally

I thought this was a brilliant move by Dallas. They could have used Barron or Claiborne and they got the guy that had higher draft grades all around. Part of the reason I like this move is because I've been completely against the Bucs taking Claiborne. I watched a lot of film on him, and he shines in man coverage, but he's gotten beat by mediocre WRs when he plays zone. Also he has a hard time not letting those plays affect him mentally. The defensive scheme in Tampa is completely dependent on zone coverage, unlike in Dallas who keep their CBs in man almost every play (3-4 scheme, rush 5 drop 6 into coverage, ILBs and S in zone, CBs manned up). He's a great fit for them.
