News: BTB: 2016 NFL Mock Draft Database: 30 Mocks, 10 Prospects For Dallas Cowboys

[NewsBot]

We survey 30 NFL mock drafts and look at which 10 players are projected as possible Cowboys picks.

In our inaugural mock draft database of the season, we take a peek at 30 different mock drafts by some of the better-known draftniks on the interwebs to get a better feeling for the lay of the land at the top of the first round.

As it currently stands, 27 of the 30 mocks are projecting the Cowboys to take a defensive player. If you were locked in on a quarterback, you may have to start rethinking your position.

The table below lists the 30 mocks by their publication date and shows which player is mocked to the Cowboys. For your convenience, the table is sortable.
