NFL Draft 2008 – Round 5 – Dallas Cowboys – CB Orlando Scandrick
 |
James Joyner | Sunday, April 27, 2008 |
The Dallas Cowboys traded for Adam Pacman Jones in the week before the draft, took CB Mike Jenkins in the 1st round, and have now added yet another corner, Orlando Scandrick of Boise State, in the 5th round.
He didn’t make the top 150 at Scouts, Inc. or Mel Kiper’s Big Board. Rick Gosselin, though, had him ranked as the 83rd best player in the draft.
Not bad for the 143rd player taken.
Albert Breer reports,
To get in position to take Boise State CB Orlando Scandrick, the Cowboys dealt their fifth- and seventh-round picks (155 and 213 overall), which moved them up 12 spots to 143rd overall.
I’ve been hearing whispers about the Cowboys’ interest in Scandrick going all the way back to the combine. And it’s been quiet of late — which can be a sign that a club genuinely wants a guy. The Cowboys obviously did.
That seems like a lot to move up 12 spots in the 5th round but nothing else the Cowboys have done today has made any sense, either.
