New NFLMDDB mock, 2/12

[J-man]

Overall I'd be pretty happy with it.
Not the best board at 12, but I think Nolen can be a stud inside.
Campbell is the best LB in this class.
Made 1 move and got a 4th rd pick using some of our 5ths.
Johnson and James could be a great 1-2 punch at RB.
Restrepo could give them a solid slot WR who gets yac.

Could live with that. I'd prefer a second LB to either the WR, EDGE or CB pick, but it depends on what we do in free agency. If we do nothing at those positions, then they become a bigger priority. Diggs probably misses at least part of the season, so we need a starting-caliber CB, Cooks is a free agent so we need a No. 2 receiver and if we don't re-sign Lawson, we probably do need to add a pass rusher, especially with Williams coming off an ACL tear. I'd like to see all of those spots addressed in FA.

I think most of us would, but not likely, if recent history is any indication of their plans.

That would be a tremendous haul of players.

Nolen is way too high at 12... I've been watching film and listening to podcasts around folks who have access to all-22 and he has not impressed like he should and if anything is the 3rd DT on the list.

Lots of folks have Grant, Tyleik and Harmon over him... the fact that it is so spread out makes me say there is more research to be done but the DT class is deep.

this is a home run mock and would take the team to a contender in 1 season...I don't think it happens but I would pray...

this DT and LB combo would give us a surge like Jalen Carter and Zach Baun... making our defense top 5 right after April. Adding Judkins and Savion Williams with a potential FA or 2 gives this team a fantastic outlook for the future even with an aging Dak... sets the team up for post-Prescott and that young QB to succeed with little to no pressure similar to how Dak's rookie season and first 2-3 years went.

Dallas' failures to draft good DTs was never more evident than this last SB.

Eagles got massive pressure with a 4-man rush, meanwhile Cowboys continue to grab the Lawrences, Personses, Gregorys, etc. because they are "flashy" players.

Ignoring the basics is never a good thing....

Using PFN simulator Graham keeps dropping to 12 for me too. I think it is unrealistic, but I suppose given the depth of the DTs in this draft maybe some teams feel they can wait and still get a quality DT. Still, unless he completely messes up the combine I don't see him dropping. Then again, Parsons did so why not Graham?

Drafting a LB ois a waste this year. I know we need bodies but I'd rather sign vets then draft LB in 2026

Exactly
Need some big bodies that can move

Campbell is pretty good though. A good fit for Eberflus scheme too

Sure. But I would prefer D-line early. I would like us to focus on fixing D-Line and RB this year. Leave LB to next year. Also I would leave O-Line to next off season as well. Let's find out what the new coaching staff can do with our current guys in a new scheme. Then assess and react in the 2026 draft when there hopefully better talent coming out.
