7 Round mock draft by Todd McShay

[jchap2k]

At ESPN draft page:

Never really liked McShay's mocks, but since it hasn't been posted yet (or at least I couldn't find it), here are the Cowboy picks:

14. Mark Barron, S
45. Janoris Jenkins, CB
81. Joe Adams, WR
113. Akiem Hicks, DT
135. James Hanna TE
152. Senio Kelemete G
186. Chris Rainey RB
222. Tim Fugger OLB

In a shrewd business move, Jerry doesn't offer a Janoris Jenkins jersey in 2012. Instead, he waits for Mike Jenkins to leave via free agency next year, and gives 21 to Janoris Jenkins.

I'd be okay with that minus Jenkins. I'd rather take josh Robinson.

[Woods]

I can't see Garrett drafting J Jenkins at CB.

why akiem hicks so high when he is a projected 7th round pick?

[funkytown]

I actually like it.. Would take that.

Ehh. I do like the Jenkins pick in the 2nd would love it in the 3rd. no way we take a RB in this draft, maybe UDFA but not a flier. Hicks pick seems weird also. I really do not like barron in the first. I have man crush on Hightower and with the way Ravens radio is gushing over him so do they. I would love Decastro or a small trade down and grab hightower and experiment with carter at OLB.

[Cowboy Junkie]

I think he is off big time and I do not think he has one player correct

SDogo's board has him 5th-6th round.

NFLDraftScout has him 3rd-4th round.

I have never seen a round 7 grade on him.

I'd be willing to bet Hicks is off the board by the end of round 4.

He's got too much upside to last much longer than that.

I think it was sideline scouting that had him projected as a 7th rounder.

Interesting.

Fine draft

Someone brought it up a couple of days ago that his measurments are on par with Brockers. For someone who is a 'talent' in Brockers based on his physical tools, one would think that Hicks is a poor man's version. SDogo has gone on here and said he's off the Cowboys board though. Along with Chris Rainey.

Well said as far as a poor mans version of Brockers. That seems spot on. I guess his popularity would warrant a higher pick. I have no problem with him being off the Cowboys board.

Wow.
Jenkins is very talented, but that is a roll of the dice. I think Ryan would have to really sell that to JG.

186. Chris Rainey, RB
222. Tim Fugger, OLB


Fixed. I'd be ecstatic with that draft.

[jchap2k]

Me too

[AKATheRake]

Those top 3 picks would be outstanding.

I doubt he'd be able to get up on the table to state his case.

If Red drafts Jenkins in the 2nd...I want a close up on the cowboys war room camera so I can look and see the redness in Red's eyes and realize he has been dating the same girl Jenkins has been dating...Mary Jane. :laugh2:

[Dmoore Esq]

I take that. I absolutely take that.

[jterrell]

That would be a stellar draft.

Jenkins and Barron were two of the best SEC players two years ago as sophomores.... they are well proven.

Rainey that late would be great. He could be converted to a slot WR a la Percy Harvin here. Showed great hands and solid route running at the Combine along with special speed.

If they take injury chances in r2 for special talent I can see them taking character chances. It's been a while since Jenkins failed a drug test though I am less sure how many maternity wards he has filled up in 2012.

You might be surprised, we brought Doug Martin in for a visit. And SDogo mentioned there is a legit interest there. Makes sense IMO, there is no way they bring Felix back after this season and Demarco was injury prone at OU and then got hurt last year.

On a homer note, nice to see Danny Coale in the 4th round. Would be sweet to see him reunited with Tyrod in Baltimore.

I'll never forget this play

I've been to a lot of football games, but it will be tough to ever match that one. At-least with the crazy finish.
