News: BTB: 2017 NFL Mock Draft Database: 35 Mocks, 17 Prospects For Dallas Cowboys

[NewsBot]

We survey 35 NFL mock drafts and look whether any favorites have emerged for the Cowboys so far.

In our inaugural mock draft database of the season, we take a peek at 35 different mock drafts by some of the better-known draftniks on the interwebs to see whether we can get a better feeling for the lay of the land at the bottom of the first round.

As it currently stands, 31 of the 35 mocks are projecting the Cowboys to take a defensive player. If you were locked in on a wide receiver or perhaps even a tight end, you may have to start rethinking your position.

The table below lists the 35 mocks by their publication date and shows which player is mocked to the Cowboys. For your convenience, the table is sortable.

That and everything else will likely change over the next three months. Stay tuned.
