2. Andy Alleman - This was really kind of a surprise to me as I didn't expect an OG this early at all. I'm not a huge fan of Alleman though, he's strong and athletic but he's just over 80% on his blocking success rate and he hasn't shown a whole lot of success with down field blocking. He's also prone to giving up sacks and QB pressures. Not a pick that I would be on board for. Grade: D

Don't know about this specific player however would not be shocked to see an O-Lineman, even an OG taken here. It is something that has become a trend with dallas although not every year.

6. Jeff Rowe - I'm kind of indifferent to this pick. I don't see it as a great pick and I don't see it as a bad pick. The question I would ask is this: does he have more potential than Matt Baker? If yes then sure, no problem spending a late round pick on him...if no, then go for someone else. Grade: C

Agreed. If he is not any better than our current third stringer in some area than just pass on him. JZ may not be better in all areas but at least he has some kind of special it to him...not saying to take Z here but just giving an example of something where they have to have an area where they are better instead of taking one just to take one.

6. Aaron Rouse - Not a pick that makes a ton of sense to me. He's more like an undersized LB than anything and I just don't see that fitting into our defensive scheme. He could be a backup to Roy I guess, but there's already Elam there. So this time the question is does Rouse have more potential than Elam? Grade: C

I agree in some areas. I mean we have plenty of safeties on the squad that could backup roy if need be. Here is the thing though. At this point in the draft you get a player that is either a developmental player or basically a backup player. And that backup player better be able to help out on Special Teams. Rouse can help out on special teams as Coach Beamer at VT will have had his players coached well in that area.

Its a draft I would be fairly happy with but not overly thrilled with. The pick in the second round is what throws me off the most, I just don't really understand it. I don't think OG is a big need for us right now and I don't think that Alleman will be BPA at that point. Other than that I think it's a good mock though and with a change in the second round is something I would really be happy with. Some concerns: Nothing really done to address C, only late round prospects to help CB and DT. Great picks of Meachem, Barbre, Robinson and Young though.

I think any O-Line man pick could be considered a point of need down the road. Just not sure why we would take this specific guy at that time. Other than that I agree with your over all takes.
Oh one last thing...I LOOOVE that RB from Hawaii as the last pick. Only seen him play once or twice but it was quite amazing for a kid of his size.

Good Job over all on your Mock Bob!
