Dallas gets the S they been looking for since Darren Woodson. Big, and fast with the play making ability the team thought they were getting with Byron Jones. Dallas turns a big weakness in 2016 into one of the best up and coming secondaries in 2018.

Round 2
Maurice Hurst DT Michigan
Think he's going to drop a little because of size and because of the heart issue. Dallas might have to trade up but i think they would if they had to. With the amount of substitutions the team does it makes alot of sense to stock pile more pass rushers inside.

Round 3
Josey Jewell LB Iowa
Smart player who could shine at ST to start his career and learn from Lee in a limited 2 down role. Then come on and take over a primary role when Lee moves on. Provides insurance for LB depth too.

Dallas trade Cole Beasley and its RD5 comp pick to NE for their RD3 pick.
Round 3
Dallas picks Dante Pettis WR Washington
Dallas sends Beasley to a place where he would fit with his size restrictions, and adds a whole lot of speed that can take over the slot and Kick return duties.

Round 4
Darius Leonard LB South Carolina St
More depth and speed to a core that needs it.

Round 4 COMP
Royce Freeman RB Oregon
Big back that can do it all.

Round 6(SEA)
Cole Madison G Washington State
Type of G Dallas likes, strong and athletic enough to pull and get to them DBs

Round 6
Antonio Callaway WR Florida
On the pre draft visit list. If he could get his head on straight he could be a serious addition. Little risk high reward here.

Round 6 COMP
Desmond Harrison T W Georgia
Brought in for pre draft invite. Could be something to S Jones talking about Dallas needs to add depth to the OL in the later rounds for development

Round 7
Justin Lawler DE SMU
Another Draft visit.

James would be a heck of a pick. has he come in for a visit yet?

Not that i have heard.

I actually think as the draft get closer Dallas might have to jump AZ to pick him up. Ive read mostly AZ going OL early since they got a QB who if he's getting hit will fall to a injury quick. So i could see Dallas making a trade with GB, but since it played out with James and Smith there in this mock i did i had them staying put.

I think Lamar Jackson and Ridley hold the key to a player like James or Smith and if SD think sit needs a NT with the suspension to Luiget
 
Would love it... but the first two picks won’t happen, IMO.

James will be gone by 19 and Hurst will be long gone by 50.

Most of the team needing S are behind Dallas. Think James has a real possibility to be there, he could go 15 to AZ so i could see Dallas trying to trade up to 14.

On Hurst, i dont think you realize his size restrictions, and the scheme fit and lack of teams who use that scheme. If you dont run a 4-3 with focuses more on a up push in your inside rushers you arent even looking at Hurst. Dallas, Tampa, Maybe NE, Jacksonville maybe Atlanta. which nis why i said i could see Dallas trading up if it made sense.
 
Many teams will have Derwin ahead of Fitzpatrick. I think either player is highly unlikely to fall to 19. If the team wants either player, they would have to move up.
 
I don't want to say there is NO way James would be there...but I don't think he will.

One would also have to consider that if both He and R.Smith start falling to 15 or below that cowboys might be phone doing all the can to move up to take one of those two players.
 
Would prefer Vander Esch with the 19th pick. He has the size at mlb the Cowboys did so well with when R. McClain was in there. Little concerned with his lack of experience, but then again they can coach him like they want, won't have so many bad traits to unlearn...
 
Maliek Collins isn't a 1T. Will be injured by mid season, IMO if forced to play there. Not a great run stopper either way, weak anchor due to foot, and gives up 30lbs before the double team shove on the guards way to the LB. Price/Ash haven't shown me anything so far. LB's will stay injured due to this so better make sure the new ones don't have much learning curve.

I don't think that the Cowboys feel they need another safety besides Heath, Woods and Frazier. Not to mention they also have Showers.

And James is no Woodson, per his draft profile his pass coverage needs work....
 
Love this draft but I don't think James and Leonard will drop that far. If they do, they are steals at that point. Love the Pettis pick.

James has had an acl tear, they might push him down a few spots...

I’ve been wrong before, but we will see.
 
Over Derwin James? I would kick my TV's ***.

If you think that MLB is in better shape than strong safety, I understand. But as far as the Cowboys' coaches are concerned, I think they aren't convinced Smith can handle the Mike spot, don't want to put Lee back at Mike either, and the other linebackers don't have the beef to handle the spot, so a bigger Mike is more a need.

But you never know about this team, Jerry will probably push for a kicker at 19 :facepalm:

A kicker, heck I was thinking a long snapper, they are people to! Lol
