My Line of Scrimmage Mock - Page 2 - Dallas Cowboys Forum

**BrAinPaiNt** · 01-09-2012

I like the first four picks. I would complain about no DBs but you stated you were going O and D line in the mock so I can't fault you for that...although I could ding you for not getting a DB in FA.

Looks too good to be true. Doubt Jerry understands the importance of building lines instead of reaching for potential star players at skill positions like WR.

If we have Cambell and Rat at DE's, that gives us 3 pressure players on our DL along with Ware. That would be a dream come true

Laron Landry in the first post.

Sorry...Should have been more specific, Meant CBs more than S. Of all the positions in the secondary I think SS is the least of my worries...want more CBs and a true FS. Either way I would love the draft.

The current team can not stop the Giants run or pass game (gave up a combined 68 points and almost 1000 yds to Giants), and the current team can not score on the Eagles (only scored 7 points each game). Whatever we do has to concentrate on how we match up in these 4 games next year.

I think Hostile's offseason in this mock will go a long way to closing the gaps. However, I agree with Brainpaint that we have to find at least one solid CB or we will be in trouble. If we lose Newman as expected (and deserved)... who is going to match up against Nix/Cruz/Manningham? Jenkins/Scandrick/??? I don't think we have that answer on the roster yet.

Yep because GNATS are better on both lines, and the Egirls are better on the D Line. Could not agree more.

I think teams are savy on Rats game. If he doesn't beat the center off the snap he can be neutralized. Also, I see him going around blocks more and more trying to get upfield and he just gets caught up in the OL wash. I say yes to a NT, but more of a one gap type guy. Someone that can get in gaps and much things up in the backfield and also strong enough to collapse the pocket using a bull rush.

Jerel Worthy or Dontari Poe are bigs guys that can move.

i would sign up for this off season right now
as others have said, one issue would be CB and we could sign a mid-range CB in FA

Me too, I know we have money in FA, but do we have enough for this?

BraveHeartFan · 01-09-2012

I would be quite happy with this draft and these moves for the most part. I wouldn't be upset about it although I agree with some others I'd like to see a CB added in there somewhere.

I certainly don't want to stomach watching Newman back there pretending to be a defensive back in this league anymore.

Thick 'N Hearty · 01-09-2012

I like the mock, but the corner position – Newman's specifically – should be addressed. I like the DeCosta pick at 14, but I think I would go with Alfonzo Dennard from Nebraska at the 45th spot.

fortdick · 01-09-2012

Replacing both Spears and Hatcher? I think Lissemore may be a good one in the future and we should give him this off season to see if he can start for Hatcher.

Wait a sec.....I just check the DallasCowboys.com depth chart and they list Hatcher and Coleman as the starting DE's right now, with Spears as Hatcher's backup.

Alfonzo Dennard will go in the first round, and even if he does not, he'll go before the 45th pick.

That's a possibility, but I think it's more probable that he goes in the 2nd. A lot of boards have him ranked as the 6th best CB.

About 1/4th of the mock drafts that I have looked at have the Cowboys taking him at 14. Scouts Inc. has him at 24, Kiper has him at 19. Both rankings have him as the 3rd ranked CB behind Claiborne and Kirkpatrick. I haven't seen anything that would indicate him going in the 2nd round.
