Cowboys 2013 Draft Rumors And Scuttlebutt: Sifting Through

The countdown clock is on. As we inch closer to Kansas City hitting the clock, we have to pay some attention to a few of the things that are coming out about possibilities for the Cowboys. O.C.C. already covered that there could be a flurry of trade activity in the first round. How things play out before Dallas even comes within range will have an immediate and direct impact on what Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett do based on Tom Ciskowski's team have worked on for the past couple of years.

We occasionally get a glimpse of some of the things that could be happening. Of course, they have to be approached with the requisite grain of salt, as any leaked info could be misdirection subterfuge trying to get other teams to draft non-targets.

We'll try to keep a running tally of stuff that comes out and leave it up to you to determine whether or not it holds water.

• Cowboys heavy interest in TE Tyler Eifert - Matt Mosley
• "Kiffin helping weigh idea of Vaccaro in Rd 1 + 2 DLs (including Bennie Logan) " - Mike Fisher

Finally, hat tip to BTB member Da Jugganot, but I couldn't let this draft go by without people seeing this video from those waiting to get into the NFL Draft. It speaks for itself. For the couple Cowboys fans in it, if you post here, I need you to fess up.
