Draft is coming, which sounds really dirty

Not only is there no news about the Dallas Cowboys acquisition of Pacman Jones, new news shows that Jones paid the shooter in the Las Vegas ordeal two payments of $15,000. Hush money or extortion? You be the judge.

Without any movement on the Pacman front and no news in terms of Jerry Jones trading for a receiver, the Cowboys intentions must remain as such for the draft: receiver, running back and cornerback.

Furthermore, the Cowboys retained all negotiating rights with Marion Barber and Chris Canty as no teams thought it'd be worth a couple of draft picks to steal them away.

Rivals
22. Jonathan Stewart
Oregon running back who's been loosely connected to the Cowboys in other mocks. A bowling ball with speed.

28. Kenny Phillips
The Cowboys were linked with Miami's Brandon Meriweather last year. Instead, he ended up starting for the Patriots. Seems like a guy with all tools, but had an inconsistent streak his senior year. Very interesting mock because Rivals leaves Felix Jones, James Hardy, Malcolm Kelly and Aqib Talib to the late-first round and second round.

Peter King
22. Rashard Mendenhall
Yuck. Dude has "bust" written all over him.

28. Aqib Talib
Suggests the Cowboys are shopping this pick for Roy Williams, the receiver.

Sports Central
22. and 28. traded to Oakland Raiders for rights to No.4 pick.
Although I think Jerry Jones is ... umm ... jonesing for Darren McFadden. But I don't think he wants to spend top 10 money.
