FRISCO - We talk a lot around here about "B.P.A'' and "B.A.A.'' ... but: Is it ever acceptable to use the first-round pick in an NFL Draft to pick for 'need'?

Indy Car Tim welcomes Cowboys Nation to the “Daily Blitz” by DSP Media in partnership with CowboysSI.com.

What should the Cowboys’ contingency plan be? Let’s discuss!
