Draftdaddy.com has a link asking the question "has a camera man exposed the Cowboys draft board"?
The picture on the link shows an individual in front of a white board with DB's (Both CB's and Safeties) ranked.
Here is the picture:

I think the name is
"Johnson" from Ark. St. at 6

according to BoysBlog, its not our board
but just a list of DB prospects written by the a Cowboys coach, not our scouts.
A story, or rather some photos are making the rounds and are making some wonder if the Cowboys’ draft board may have been inadvertently leaked to the public in a Dallas news video.
I spoke to a source who told me this is footage from the defensive coaches’ room and that the lists behind DC Brian Stewart are likely a coach’s or some defensive coaches’ rankings of players and are not those of the Dallas scouting staff.
In other words, this ain’t the board, folks. Not even close.

Yeah
like the Cowboys would actually say "Yup, that's our board."
Who is the source? Without that knowledge, who knows if it has any validity.

I can't imagine the Cowboys would allow
a picture of that list to be taken. Seems hard to believe.

Well there's the picture
they have their draft board completed, why would they have a different list up? Why would the Cowboys defensive coaches put up a list of players that wasn't the draft board if the board is complete? You're the one that posted they have their first round board complete. And we'd have to suspect that DRC, McLovin, Phillips, Jenkins and Talib are all 1st-round or very close.

Only DBs?
This appears to be just a list of DBs that someone was ranking.

Correct, only DB's
There are other lists on the board for other positions but we never get a close up of that. I'm not saying this is the composite draft board, but the rankings of the DB's. Regardless of whether it's official, I can guarantee you this is very close to what they are thinking.

Here's a scaled-down wider shot
The list behind Stewart's head is "DL" (defensive line) and the one on the right appears to be LB.

Yeah
But reporters are nosy by nature.
What would add authenticity to the pic would be if the photographer caught Stewart with shock on his face and a hand reaching for the camera.
Anyone else notice those arrows down the list. Might be looking for DB value in the later rounds too.

I was trying to make out
the list to the right of the DB list

It's da silly season, so who knows what 2 believe
Anybody find it ironic that the rumor-rampant silly season coincides this year with the presidential primaries?
Hmmmmmmm.
Well, if you think about it, there is a similarity in that everybody in the NFL lies these days about as much as politicians do around election time.

Here's the pic
You can clearly see DRC first, McKelvin second, it looks like Phillips from Miami third, Jenkins 4th, Talib 5th, I think Barrett from Arizona State 6th, then Godfrey from Iowa next, after that I can't make out anymore.
by Dave Halprin on Mar 20, 2008 10:46 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I'm saying Barrett
Because it looks like Ari St, not Tyrell Johnson from Ark St. But from your pic, it could also say Flowers, although the school doesn't match.

Never mind
Looks like you changed it.
by goodjobtimmyheresabluestar on Mar 20, 2008 10:52 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Naw, that's Johnson
from Ark St.
I think the "Jo" in Johnson is pretty clear, and it's just a sloppily written "K" in "Ark. St." that makes it look like an "I."
Wow, slow day at work for me.......

that is NOT the cowboy draft board
by Deke on Mar 20, 2008 2:05 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
To be clear
no one is suggesting it's the composite draft board, but the possible draft rankings of the defensive backs that will be integrated into the composite draft board.

I think its a ruse to throw off other teams
by Terry on Mar 20, 2008 3:36 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
you guys should visit
every team in the league has their own scouts. You think they're gonna drop what their scouts think to take a Cowboys scouts opinion? That would piss a guy or two off. This means jack squat.

Look closer at the photo on the website
There is a morror and I can distinctly make out the image of Pac-man Jones handing a bouquet of flowers to ... it looks like Jerry Jones, but I'm not sure.
by BigE on Mar 21, 2008 8:33 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
That is Jerry...
...and if I am reading his lips correctly he is telling Stephen Jones either "Lets cut Roy Williams" or "Lets trade for Roy Williams." It's one or the other.
