Trade Down from 16 to 22, get extra 3rd
Trade down in 2nd for extra 3rd
Trade 4th and 5th for late 3rd

1 (22): DT Aaron Donald
(I realize that no Cowboys fan will believe that he available here, but I believe it's possible)
On the field with Melton on nickel downs. Splits snaps with Melton on base downs.

2: DE Marcus Smith
Quick twitch, Weak Side DE. Decent height and long arms.

3: OG Brandon Thomas
Powerful, athletic college LT moves to OG.

3: OG/OT Billy Turner
Powerful, athletic college LT. Plays OG or RT. Needs some time to develop. Very aggressive player.

3: WR Martavis Bryant
Big 6-4, 211 and fast.

7: DT Calvin Barnett
Quick and strong. Could play 1 or 3.

7: DE Aaron Lynch
Terrific athlete and good player at ND, then transferred to South Florida. Mental makeup questions make him available this late. Upside is through the roof.

7: DT Ken Bishop
So dominant at the small school level that it's comical.

7: LB Howard Jones
Terrific athlete with decent size 6-3, 235.

7: CB Phillip Gaines
Fast with good height.

7: FS Dontae Johnson
Terrific athlete with decent size 6-2, 200.

X,
I guess it's possible that Donald falls to 22, but I think it's a fairly low probability. Between the NYFG, Bears it could be very challenging.

Also, how would you compare M Bryant to Moncief (sp?) at WR? I think they are both 3rd rounders (roughly speaking).

I will take this draft right now as is
only major concern for me after this would be FS

been saying this for a long time, if donald (or jernigan) is there at 1, he wil be there at 22-25 range

i would love a trade down if the option is there

Donte Moncrief would be a very good pick in the 3rd also. I had in mind that he might be gone by the mid 3rd.

I really like what I've seen from Marcus Smith. Room to grow too.

 

[MonsterD]

Marcus Smith confuses me, every thing I have read says he is definitely in the right type of guy for our defense but when I see him play, he seems to be pretty much no technique rusher. Also I see complaints about his strength and that he will need to get bigger, but I am most concerned about his lack of on the LOS and using hand/arm, moves, and mostly strength.

No way I'd trade a 4th and 5th in this draft for a late 3rd.. especially hot having a 6th already.

No team is going to go 3 rounds without a pick in the best draft in a decade.

I do like the thought of trading down a bit... and I am in manlove with Donald. --but no so much that I HAVE to have him at all costs. So I would trade down there.

Think you've done a really good job of targeting players where we can get value for them.

That draft would make us a lot better.
