Post week 6 Mock Draft

Unfortunately since its looking more and more like we will be 8-8 again, and we all know that Jerry isn't smart enough to just trade up for Herbert to ensure a ring, so lets draft assuming we dont trade:

Pick 1: Rashan Gary DE Michigan
An outside rusher who can do it all. He is lightning fast into the pocket. He can rush from any point on the line standing, or hand in the dirt. Him and Tank would make a duo to fear. Gary, Woods, Irving, Lawrence, Taco, Gregory, Crawford, Collins, Armstrong, Ross. Thats your DL depth. Thats scary.

Pick 2: Taylor Rapp SS Washington.
This dude is the real deal, instinctive, hard hitting, and a leader of the secondary. Personally, i think Heath is best off the bench, and Rapp is just better at everything.

Pick 3: Anthony Johnson WR Buffalo.
At 6'2" 207 this kid is a deep threat that can get 50/50 balls like Dez could. He reminds me a lot of young Dez. Long highlight reel strong catches and possession catches 5-10 yards consistently. Huge upside if he can sharpen his routes.

Pick 4: Troy Dye LB Oregon.
Im in love with Oregon. But not just because Im a fan, but because for the next few years they have some of the best talent coming out into the draft. First off Dye is an amazing ILB who would be able to play Sam. He is instinctive and hard hitting. He can over persue, but has the upside to be a pro-bowl LB athleticism wise.
Oregon on its team right now has:
Herbert, Jelks, Dye, Scott, Sewell, Mitchell, Graham, Holland, Lenoire all kinda peaking my draft radar interest. These guys will be big time.

Pick 5 (still round 4): Caleb Wilson TE UCLA
A speedy 6'4" tight end who can do it all. He mainly uses his speed as a mismatch and has the ability to create seperation in the seem.

Pick 6: Daniel Jones QB Duke
Accurate pocket passer. Not taking him to be the franchise, but taking him as an upside play that could push Dak. He goes to Duke so he is being overlooked somewhat, he has arm talent to be an NFL qb. I think he could come in and start and be very good if we needed him too. Better than White and Rush

Pick 7: Ryan Bee DT Marshall
High upside DT. Doesnt get moved out of position easily. Very aware player. Not particularly great at anything, but not horrific at anything either. Would really push the back end of our DL depth. He can play from anywhere on the line, but is best inside, like Crawford. He would be able to push.

End up with a primary roster looking like this:

Wr1: Michael Gallup, (Allen Hurns)
Wr2: Allen Hurns, Anthony Johnson, Terrence Williams
SWr: Cole Beasley, Deionte Thompson

TE: Caleb Wilson, Geoff Swaim, Rico Gathers, Dalton Schultz

QB: Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones, Mike White
RB: Ezekiel Elliott, Rod Smith, Tavon Austin
FB: Jamize Olawale

LT: Tyron Smith, Cameron Flemming
LG: Connor Williams, Joe Looney
C: Travis Fredrick
RG: Zack Martin, Parker Ehinger
RT: La'el Collins

RDE: Rashan Gary, Taco Charleton, Randy Gregory
1t: Antwaun Woods, Ryan Bee, Daniel Ross
3t: David Irving, Malik Collins, Tyrone Crawford
LDE: Demarcus Lawrence, Dorance Armstrong

Sam: Joe Thomas, Chris Covington
Mlb: Jaylon Smith, Troy Dye
Wlb: Sean Lee, Leighton Vander-Esch

CB1: Byron Jones
CB2: Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis
SCB: Anthony Brown

FS: Earl Thomas, Xavier Woods, Darian Thompson
SS: Taylor Rapp, Jeff Heath, Kavon Frazier

So, you think we re-sign Irving?

I like Gary but could see him at 3-tech, replacing Irving. Won't be Ed Oliver, but still someone that can be a force inside. If not him,one of the Clemson guys, Simmons, or even a guy like Zach Allen if Rod is still here in some capacity would be nice in day 1/2 depending on combine etc.

Would Gary fall to an 8-8 team?

Have a feeling he'll light up the combine. Fast 40/some impressive agility numbers.

Some new names for me too try and watch at some point.

8-8 and you throw virtually the same offense out there except for 3rd and 5th round rookies? I’d puke.

You obviously dont know this team very well.

And from the looks of it,were going to be in it til the last week of the year, Dallas will think they have an elite offense that can drop 40 on the Jags, so they will pick whoever they want.

Johnson and Wilson would upgrade this offense immediately, and if we are going to look for a qb it sould be in 2020 unless herbert falls to us. This class doesnt have many true 1st round calibur wrs. Aj brown, and thats pretty much it. And we wont draft Oline.

Yeah. Irving will be back in Dallas. They wont break the bank for him. And maybe its just one year. But we will keep him around. Hes too good. We need to resign him

I do know this team...they are reactionary and will probably go overkill on the WR group if they continue to struggle. Like they did with OL, ignored the position for a while and then drafted a bunch of 1st rounders. If by some miracle the offense does continue to look good like vs the Jags and I can see your point, but I highly doubt that so I think a big investment will be made into the WR group.

Hell, they apparently tried to go after an overpriced Sammy Watkins this past off season.

Thats what they said during this draft. Then they picked LVE

Daniel Jones would be a fantastic pick in round six but I think he'll be long gone.

Ill eat my hat if Gary falls out of the top 10.
The only thing this team needs to worry about is what will it take to get the #1 overall pick in the draft and select Herbert.
I love Caleb Wilson but he won't fall that far either.

I'd be willing to bet the 1st selection is the receiving corp.At this point I like Noah Fant in the first but things will change.

Where are we picking to get Gary and on what planet is Jones going in the 6th round?

since there's no way to know where they'll be drafting, I'll guess somewhere in the middle so my 1st round target ~15 is starting safety Deionte Thompson, Alabama
2nd pick would be best player that is still on the board like a N'Keal Harry or maybe even Noah Fant. every year guys slide and every year people have players ranked differently but I think Harry is a big guy that can catch in traffic and run after the catch which is what Dak needs it would seem
Dallas also needs elite tightend help
Raekwon might be around that 1st pick range (unless he Suh's somebody else) and if Kris gets Earl then that buys time at safety

it would suck to draft a tightend if a beast linebacker like Devin White is around though but anyway
they need a 1 tech and DE but will Marinelli call the shots this time or will Richard be the guy in the war room? don't forget, he was in there last year

I have zero faith they would draft a qb early, not with Dak still playing for peanuts

Long gone for sure ...like in the 1st round.

some have N'Keal Harry going in the top 5, some sites have him going at the end of the 1st
I guess it's safe to assume there's no way he makes it out of the 1st
so scratch that idea

I dunno about that. My boys made him look pretty average today.
