Well this would be a nice development, thanks in part to Cam Newton (#8 to Tennessee) and Julio Jones rising in their mock draft, SB Nation now projects Nebraska corner Prince Amukamara to the Cowboys at number nine. Their comment:
↵↵↵9. Dallas Cowboys (6-10): Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska. Should the first eight picks occur in this fashion, Dallas would have a very easy decision to make. Terence Newman will be 33 by the time the 2011 season begins, Mike Jenkins suffered through a rather horrid 2010 season, and Amukamara is the best prospect remaining on the board.

As things sit now, this seems like a dream scenario for Dallas. As mentioned, they have corner issues on their roster, and Rob Ryan could presumably use high end cover guys.
↵The mock draft bumps Nick Fairley up to the top spot, after his strong performance in the national championship game. Mark Ingram also rose, as he now sits in the #15 slot to Miami. Prior to Ingram, the draft is all front seven, corners, receivers and QBs (Blaine Gabbert is projected #10 to Washington).
