Fredd's Mock 2.0

[Fredd]

Everyone else is throwing their mock out there so here is mine - I completed a full 7-round mock for all teams and I tried not to homerize anything...here is who I had the Cowboys selecting:

1st: Coples, Quinton (DE, N.Carolina)
2nd: Silatolu, Amini (OG, Midwestern St)
3rd: Johnson, Trumaine (CB, Montana)
4th: Green, Ladarius (TE, La-Lafayette)
4th (supp): Brewster, Mike (C, Ohio St)
5th: Harris, Cliff (CB, Oregon)
6th: Benford, Tim (WR, Tenn Tech)
7th: Smith, Jacquies (DE, Missouri)

Addressed pass rush, Interior of the OLine, Secondary, back-up TE...thoughts?

Honestly, I'm just not comfortable with Coples. I would look for Ingram before I would Coples.

If Ingram or DeCastro weren't there at #14, I might be willing to trade back a few spots only to be able to trade back up from the 3rd to get two second round picks. Then try to grab say, a CB/Safety in the first and Brandon Brooks and Bruce Irvin in the second.

I'd be fine with this one except I'd like a safety at some point if we can get a good one.

There in lies your problem. This is a nery bad draft for safeties. There is Barron then pretty much everyone else.

[DFWJC]

Have to assume he thinks Brewster can start as a rookie--which may be true.

Trumaine Johnson would play safety.

That's right, I forgot that he's physical enough to cross over.
That helps.

I dont want Harris anywhere near this team...he is trouble with a capital T.

if we are going to take a CB late, I want Brooks from LSU

I have seen Coples play--we do not want him. Takes too many plays off. Lazy and hard to motivate. Smallish for a 3-4 DE.

The good news is that anyone we draft in the first round will have had every single collegiate play dissected to the 20th degree. They will have asked anyone and everyone about the obvious issues/rumors about that player. So they will certainly know better than any of us on how much of a risk a player is worth.

I like the players individually but I'm not sure I'd feel great about walking out of the 4th round and 3 players came from Midwestern, Montana, & LaLa. Each player is worth the risk on their own but the risk kind of accumulates with each small school pick.

I actually really like this mock. Coples is a risk, but I have him as one of the best players in this draft. I love Silatolu as well. Not in love with the Trumaine pick...he has the size and measurables I'm just not sold on him. I agree that Harris is trouble, but I think the risk/reward factor is great enough in the fifth to take him. We need another corner, and I think we have solid character guys in the secondary already. Good mock IMO.

[interestedobserver]

Depending on the mock, those first two will be off the board by the time the Cowboys draft. Silatolu has been rising recently.

No Irvin but love the first 2 picks. And Harris at the bottom of the 2nd day also works for me.
