For Those About to Mock......

[stasheroo]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Stash's Dallas Cowboys 2008 Mock Draft[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 1 (a): Antoine Cason - CB -Arizona - 6’0” 190 lbs. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Naturally-gifted playmaker at a need position. Hard worker and solid character individual. A ballhawk with excellent anticipation and hands for the interception. Instincts, character and work ethic. Think Chris McAlister with a better attitude.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 1 (b): Limas Sweed - WR – Texas - 6’4” 212 lbs. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Rare size/speed combination. Smooth and agile with good change of direction for his size. Great hands and focus on the ball. Has the size to be a dominant red zone target. A leader with a solid work ethic and the drive to improve. If not for a wrist injury, a player of this caliber wouldn’t be available here. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 2: Ray Rice - RB - Rutgers - 5’9” 195 lbs.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Highly productive, versatile back. Thick and muscular with a solid lower frame. Can handle a full-time workload if necessary.Attacks the line of scrimmage with great power and low center of gravity. Great pass catcher and can handle blitz pickup as well. One of the draft’s most versatile running backs. Could either spell or eventually replace Marion Barber if necessary.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 3: Red Bryant - DT - Texas A&M - 6’5” 326 lbs [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Tremendous size for nose tackle position. Very strong with a quick first step. An experienced four year starter and two-time team captain. Motivated, hard-working player who plays with an attitude. This pick would eventually allow the Cowboys to transition Ratliff to DE.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 4: Chilo Rachal - OG - Southern California - 6’5” 315 lbs.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Great size with the frame to get bigger. Excellent, explosive drive blocker with a teriffic hand punch. Experienced starter who plays with good leverage and technique. Would be an improvement over Kyle Kosier in a Hudson Houck power running line.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 5: In my ideal scenario, this pick has been trade to the Tennessee Titans for CB Adam Jones. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 6: Dominique Barber - S - Minnesota – 6’0” 211 lbs.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Solidly built prospect who has improved with each year of experience. A leader in the secondary with the speed to cover 3rd receivers. Was the best player on a poor Gophers defense. Brother of Cowboys running back Marion Barber III (which might even help in long-term contract talks). Can be a solid special teams contributor.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 7: Orlando Scandrick - CB- Boise State - 5’11” 188 lbs.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Developmental cornerback prospect with good size/speed combination. Uses his hands well and is also solid in run support. Durable player who is also a good special teamer. Could develop into a solid #3 corner.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman]Let me know what you guys think.[/FONT]

[Bizwah]

Very nice.

I'd love to see this.

[Woods]

I think it looks good.

I don't know much about Orlando Scandrick though. I'll have to do some research on him.

Also, it would be great if R Rice fell to our 2nd round pick, but I have my doubts. You may need an alternative RB there. (K Smith, Forte, or Choice?)

only if this is our real draft........


keep on dreaming.

[TheCount]

Not bad, but where did you read about Barber's speed?

Last I heard he ran a 4.7- 4.6 or some such 40.

Should be a 2nd round pick, I can't see any scenario where he's available late 3rd.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 4: Chilo Rachal - OG - Southern California - 6’5” 315 lbs.[/FONT]

You have a guy who Mel Kiper has ranked 23rd overall in his top 25 going to us in the late 4th round?

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 7: Orlando Scandrick - CB- Boise State - 5’11” 188 lbs.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Developmental cornerback prospect with good size/speed combination. Uses his hands well and is also solid in run support. Durable player who is also a good special teamer. Could develop into a solid #3 corner..[/FONT]

Corners who run a blistering 4.32 at the combines usually get picked prior to round 7.

[the kid 05]

I think Barber's bro could be our replacement to KD

[AbeBeta]

Interesting on Cason since the draft board that is flying around for the 'Boys on various web pages (e.g., http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/6...ftboardky0.jpg) is noted to list our DB board as

#1 DRC
#2 Leodis McKelvin
#3 Kenny Phillips (S)
#4 Mike Jenkins
#5 Aqib Talib
#6 Either Tyrell Johnson or Josh Barrett (S)
#7 Looks like Charles Godfrey from Iowa

So Cason, although he's a board fave, likely isn't the guy at 22

[Tobal]

I've seen Bryant everywhere, so he could very well be there

[FONT=Times New Roman]Round 4: Chilo Rachal - OG - Southern California - 6’5” 315 lbs.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]He's a 2nd round pick everywhere I've seen, and it's usually not even the bottom half of the 2nd.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I love your Mock though, but I could go any number of players, but I like the position order you took,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I guess that could say I wasn't taking BPA, but I'm basically thinking the way the draft lays out this yr it fits our needs well.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]22 and 28 should be in the thick of the 2nd tier CB's WR's and RB's.[/FONT]

That's not our draft board.

In fact, a vidio clip of this board along with other stuff is posted on dallascowboys.com.

It appears that the defensive coaching staff is discussing various college players on the DL and secondary.

[dbair1967]

I've said all along I think people in this forum are going to be very surprised where Cason ends up going. There's no way I'd draft him at 22 and I really think he'll be available well into the 2nd rd

Do you really think Cason makes it past Atlanta's 2nd round pick? They just got rid of the troublemaker DeAngelo Hall and Allan Houston can't cover both left and right corner.

Come on, abe. That's not any sort of official board. And even if it were, it likely isn't completely yet. The fact that we're bringing Cason in to interview and work out is much greater evidence of our chances of drafting him at 22/28 than some random list in dry erase marker on a white board.

Or Green Bay's pick in the 1st round for that matter? The idea that someone would predict Cason to be available at our 2nd round pick is just laughable.

Tell that to DaBoys4Life who has us taking him in round 2, it is laughable.
