Over the next few days, we’ll be releasing several mock drafts. The purpose of these mock drafts is to look at the different directions the Dallas Cowboys can go in the 2018 NFL Draft.
With needs across the roster, there are plenty of names that could come in and produce from the start, but the Cowboys know that it is not that simple. Dallas will need to be ready to change their draft strategy on a pick-to-pick basis.
Disclaimer: In this article, we will focus on how the Cowboys could draft if their option in the first round is at the receiver position. Keep in mind that these picks are not what I would do. Instead, these picks are what I believe the Cowboys will do.
Round 1, Pick 19: Calvin Ridley, Wide Receiver, Alabama
Dallas sent their main brass to the Alabama pro day. Jason Garrett was even in attendance. The Cowboys did just that in the 2016 NFL Draft with Ohio State when they used the fourth-overall pick on Ezekiel Elliott.
With the Cowboys releasing Dez Bryant, Dallas’ receiving group became one of the biggest question marks in football. The addition of Allen Hurns will be a good one in Dallas. He is versatile and can play outside or in the slot, but the Cowboys could use more firepower.
That is where Ridley comes in. He is the perfect receiver in this draft class to fit the Cowboys’ desire of a “Dak-friendly” offense
At 23-years-old, there is so much refinement and professionalism in Ridley’s game. He is an excellent route-runner and has the speed to go with it. His movements are very particular and he uses that to create separation from defenders. Most rookie receivers struggle to make an impact in the NFL. Because of his skillset, Ridley should be able to perform immediately.
