What everyone think about this mock

One of the better I've seen. Where do I sign?

I was thinking the same thing especially with adding two space eaters in the middle of that DL to cover up them gaps to give the LB's a chance to chase and hit anything moving.
 
I like this draft a lot, if you can come away with this haul you have solved most of the D problems, the OT future and a nice developmental QB.


10. Dallas Cowboys - Patrick Surtain II, CB - Alabama

This might be the most common non-quarterback mock right now. Patrick Surtain II already offered enough traits and on-field production to place himself as the draft’s top corner, but an impressive Pro Day performance seemingly solidified that. Surtain joins his former teammate, Trevon Diggs, to give Dallas one of the better young cornerback tandems in the NFL.

44. Dallas Cowboys - Richie Grant, S - UCF

The Cowboys have already added Damontae Kazee to be their centerfield safety in Dan Quinn’s scheme, but his contract indicates Dallas doesn’t view him as the long-term answer. Richie Grant played a similar role at UCF, and he displayed the kind of ball hawk skills that netted him 10 interceptions through three years. Between Kazee and Grant, Dallas would have some great options for the pivotal free safety role in their new scheme.

75. Dallas Cowboys - Carlos Basham Jr., EDGE - Wake Forest

Dan Quinn’s tenure in Atlanta revealed a lot about his approach to building a defense, namely that he prioritized coverage and pass rush. The Cowboys have DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory already, and they brought in Tarell Basham along the edge too. Now they add his cousin, Carlos Basham Jr. This Basham is an ideal fit in Quinn’s scheme, and his power rushing skills - which yielded 20 sacks in three years at Wake Forest - would make for a great contrast between Gregory’s overwhelming athleticism.

99. Dallas Cowboys - Marlon Tuipulotu, DT - USC

The Cowboys double-dipped on coverage players and now double-dip on pass rush with Marlon Tuipulotu. They already have some promising young defensive tackles in Trysten Hill and Neville Gallimore, but Tuipulotu offers great athleticism when rushing up the middle, and his value as a run defender is something this defense was sorely missing last year. He’ll figure into a very deep rotation at defensive tackle for Dallas in year one.

115. Dallas Cowboys - Walker Little, OT - Stanford

The Cowboys learned the hard way last year what happens when you don’t have good depth on the offensive line. And while it seems like Tyron Smith and La’el Collins are both on track to return next season, it would be prudent to figure out a succession plan going forward, especially for Smith. Walker Little seems ideal for that plan. Little was once a surefire first-round prospect, but his 2019 season was cut short due to injury and he decided to opt out of the 2020 season, so his stock has tumbled quite a bit. Little won’t have to play right away in Dallas and can thus focus on getting back into the shape that once had scouts buzzing about his potential to become an elite left tackle in the NFL.

138. Dallas Cowboys - Charles Snowden, LB - Virginia

When the Cowboys added Keanu Neal with the idea of playing him at linebacker, it was clear that Dan Quinn wants tough linebackers who can cover. Neither Jaylon Smith (75.9% completion rate allowed the last three years) nor Leighton Vander Esch (missed 13 games the last two seasons) fit that bill, but Charles Snowden does. His insane length and play style seem custom made for a Quinn defense, and landing him this late in the draft is a massive coup.

179. Dallas Cowboys - Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR - Iowa

Fans may not like this, but it’s a fact: the Cowboys will have to make a decision about their receiving corps next offseason. The decision not to restructure Amari Cooper’s contract strongly hints that they’ll choose between him and the expiring rookie deal of Michael Gallup. Either way, Dallas is gearing up to lose a receiver, so drafting a replacement this year seems smart given how deep this class is. Ihmir Smith-Marsette was a playmaker in every sense of the word for Iowa, but a struggling offense and an injury to end the year has kept him under the radar. Smith-Marsette offers a similar skill set to Lamb in terms of athleticism and versatility, and the

192. Dallas Cowboys (from DET) - Khyiris Tonga, DT - BYU

The Cowboys have already taken moves to shore up their run defense in the trenches, tendering Antwaun Woods and signing Brent Urban. There is still more work to be done, and adding the massive Khyiris Tonga - measured at 6’4” and 322 pounds - would help. Tonga is mostly a nose tackle who offers value on rushing downs, which is why he’s still available at this point in the draft. But Dallas has already learned what happens when you don’t have those kinds of guys, and they can’t afford to make the same mistake again.

227. Dallas Cowboys - Camryn Bynum, CB - California

At this point in the draft you’re mostly looking for depth guys and special teams contributors, and that’s why Camryn Bynum is the pick. He offers the frame to be a corner in this defense and he brings plenty of experience as a four-year starter. Bynum shouldn’t be counted on as a starting cornerback, but he the has athleticism and physicality that is needed for special teams work. Both Dan Quinn and John Fassel will love this pick.

238. Dallas Cowboys - Zac Thomas, QB - Appalachian State

Mike McCarthy has been pretty open about his desire to take quarterbacks late in the draft with the intent of developing them and flipping for more draft capital later on. They tried it with Ben DiNucci, and might try it again this year. If so, Zac Thomas is a great target. He helped guide Appalachian State through the best stretch of its football program and has a similar playing style to Dak Prescott. He played at a much lower level of competition, which is why he’s a seventh-round pick and not a fourth-round pick, but Thomas has the kind of skills to wow in preseason for a few years while serving as a solid backup option. Just what McCarthy wants.

My thoughts exactly you addressed needs at every level of your defense and put to bed some the problems that have plagued us in the past with draft philosophies that go against drafting large DT's.
 
It's OK Surtain is a no brainer and Basham would be good value there. Walker Little might turn into a good player. Grant is a polarizing player that I wouldn't be too excited about.
 
Passed over Alim McNeil multiple times and took secondary first two picks so I give a meh.
 
I just don't like the idea of taking another CB high, with this scheme. The benefit of this scheme is to not have to spend big money at CB. By drafting a CB in the first round, you basically work against one of the strengths of the scheme choice. But thats kind of how this team works so whateve.......
 
I like it but I’d rather not take CB high

with those same picks I’d rather go

10: Moehrig
44: Nixon
75: Turner
99: St Juste
115: Little

to me this draft has a ton of value in rds 2-4 and we have a ton of picks. Right now we have 6 in the first 4 rounds. I’d love to trade up and get 2 more in rds 3-4. so once I get into rd 3 I’m looking to trade up for CB, TE, LB, DT

Honestly don't think you can skimp on CB anymore the league has changed this scheme is meant to mask certain deficiencies but you can't play the same coverages constantly with the rules that are in place now to make this game a point scoring machine. I think Surtain brings versatility be it man or zone that will make our CB duo very formidable hence why I like the pick at 10. But I get what you saying about the the scheme choice.

I think 10 is entirely too high to go get him there.
 
18. Miami Dolphins - DeVonta Smith, WR - Alabama

It might surprise some to see DeVonta Smith drop this far, but his size - 6’1” and 174 pounds - will scare off lots of teams due to the incredibly high fail rate of receivers around that weight. But in Miami, they’re reuniting Smith with his former college quarterback and have already displayed the kind of offensive creativity to take advantage of Smith’s unique skillset.

But Waddle is 5'9 about 160 lbs. wet, and you have him going at 8 to the Carolina Panthers? :huh:

Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer a trade down and take him but if he’s a long term FS starter and is worth the 17th then he’s worth the 10th

Nah we're not talking about all world ball hawk here he has good range but 10 is way too high if he's not day 1 starter
