The boys at BTB are getting a little crazy lol. This would be an amazing draft but seems pretty damn unrealistic
Round 1
As we begin the first round, the Cowboys were eyeing Jared Goff or Jalen Ramsey, Unfortunately, Goff is gone to the Browns and Ramsey to the Chargers. Suddenly, the phone rings and it's the Giants. New York wants Joey Bosa and badly. The Cowboys admittingly like Bosa but are willing to hear the offer.
The Giants offer picks 10 + 40 (1,800 points) for 4th overall (1,800 points)
Pick 10: Cowboys Select Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State
Analysis: Dallas flirted with the options but Wentz is there at 10 and it's too good to pass up. We're talking about a guy who is getting comparable praise to Andrew Luck. With Tony Romo looking to a possible plate over the collarbone and their need for the future, it's just time to pull the trigger on the position. They loved what they saw from him at the Senior Bowl and didn't want to show their hand at the Combine. Wentz has the right combination of size, arm strength, athleticism, and accuracy. Put those traits with a very intelligent, high football acumen leader and you got something to work with.
The Cowboys are happy to have a quarterback but that doesn't make them content. Dallas wants back into the first round, eyeing potentially Ezekiel Elliott who is sliding, Eli Apple, or a defensive end. They place a call to the Super Bowl-winning Broncos:
Dallas offers picks 34 + 99 (664 points) for Denver's 31st (600 points)
The Broncos accept and the Cowboys are absolutely thrilled with who's there at 31.
Steelers select Eli Apple at 25
Seahawks select Ezekiel Elliot at 26
Cardinals select Jonathan Bullard at 29
Pick 31 (From DEN): Cowboys select Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky
Analysis: Wow, despite his owning up to the record at the Combine, Spence falls nine spots to 31. The Cowboys sans Randy Gregory for four weeks really need some defensive line help. Sure, Spence had some drug issues that got him dismissed from Ohio State. However, unlike Gregory, Spence has been clean ever since. It's a risk Dallas is willing to take to get the very best pure pass rusher in this class, though it'll certainly come with some backlash. Like Gregory, Spence will need some help in run support and is still a bit unfinished, but he adds an instant rush to the lineup.
Round 2
Pick 40 (From NYG): Cowboys select Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana Tech
Analysis: Dallas gets a defensive tackle that Rod Marinelli really liked coaching in the Senior Bowl. He penetrates the pocket with strength and can give blockers more than they can handle. Vernon plays with a ton of intensity and gives his all for all four quarters. His motor is outstanding and he has played every position on the line. The Cowboys need more athletic rushers at the point of attack, Butler fits that mold.
Back-to-back upgrades to the defensive line are too good for a pass-rush needy team like Dallas.
