I used Great Blue North Draft Report for draft order. I’m also using NFL Draft - 2015 NFL Draft Prospects - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com as a default player board.

1(27) Gerod Hollimon FS 6-0/201 Louisville
QAXm7IW4_400x400.jpeg

Hollimon has been my top target for some time and he finally debuted on CBS’s board this week as their 28th ranked player. He leads the nation with 13 interceptions and with one more will tie the NCAA record that has stood for 46 years. His tackling needs work but his ball hawk skills would be a huge boost to this defense.

2(59) Tre’ Jackson G 6-4/330 Florida State

The Cowboys almost pulled off a trade last draft to acquire LSU guard Trai Turner so it’s clear the team wasn’t done with the O Line renovation. Tre’ Jackson is a 330-pound, three-year starter for the Seminoles. He steps in at right guard with Zack Martin replacing free agent Doug Free at right tackle.

3(91) Eric Kendricks MLB 6-0/230 UCLA
Eric-Kendricks-2-615x400.jpg

The younger brother of Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Mychal, Eric is a 3-year starter and leader of the Bruins defense. He has led the team in tackles the last two seasons and already has 110 tackles this year. Kendricks can play Mike or Will and gives the Cowboys flexibility with all of their potential free agent linebackers (McClain, Durant, Carter).

4(123) Preston Smith DE 6-5/270 Mississippi State
BUYEITAIVCEDRKD.20140901172652.jpg

Preston compares to current Cowboy Tyrone Crawford. He can play the strong side end and then slide inside to tackle on pass-rushing downs. The Cowboys seem to be utilizing the Seahawks‘ “throw bodies at it” approach with the defensive line, so Smith’s versatility will be a plus.

5(155) Jamison Crowder WR 5-9/175 Duke
Jamison+Crowder+ACC+Championship+Duke+v+Florida+9FGli24tgn6l.jpg

The Cowboys have the tall, outside receivers in Dez, Terrance Williams, and 2014 draftee Devin Street. With Dwayne Harris and Cole Beasley entering free agency, the Cowboys need to find slot types and Crowder has been a dangerous weapon for the Blue Devils. In four years, he’s caught 256 passes for 3291 yards, has 1695 return yards, and has found the end zone 25 times.

*6th round pick goes to Baltimore (Rolando McClain)
*7th round pick goes to Tennessee (Lavar Edwards)


7a(207) from San Diego (Sean Lissmore) Owamagbe Odighizuwa DE 6-3/270 UCLA
Owamagbe+Odighizuwa+Nebraska+v+UCLA+bUOOd6vGcIml.jpg

Player compares to 4th round pick Preston Smith but with him still be available on the CBS draft board here, he was too good to pass up. Good combination of strength and explosiveness, his future is probably at 3-Tech.

7b(211) from Baltimore (Rolando McClain) Quinten Rollins CB 6-0/203 Miami(Ohio)
spt-umfootball-48.jpg

My 2014 sleeper, I think he might fly up draft charts once we get to the all-star games and combine workouts. He played basketball for the Redhawks for 4 years and was a team captain the last 2 years. He had 1 year left of eligibility for football and has been a star CB this season. He has 62 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 12 passes defended. At 6-0 and 205 lbs. and pretty physical, he could be a good fit as a Tampa 2 corner.

You really think Odighizuwa lasts that long?

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Leave Martin at guard and just draft a tackle or resign Free.

I'll take that draft any day. Although, might need to add a RB somewhere if Murray leaves and we don't get a FA RB pickup.

The sense I get from the Cowboys is that the Cowboys do not want to move Martin to tackle in the future. They didn’t give him any tackle snaps over the summer in case of any emergency scenario. They view Martin as a dominant guard and have said more than a few times that protecting Tony Romo up the middle is of incredible importance to them.

No way of knowing the final draft order and no way of knowing who is and isn't on the draft board when the Cowboys picks come up.

this!
I'm cool if the MLB 3rd rd pick is the BPA but I think we need a CB (or possibly a RB) there if there's a good one available. Same on the WR pick 5th rd pick.
Love the 1st, 2nd, and 4th round picks

nice to hear from the other side - KNOW WAY OF KNOWING ON THE DRAFT DAY UNLESS YOUR IN THE ACTUAL ROOM - so I guess we will all quit having our mocks

We do this every year it is a right of passage in the draftzone and oh so humourous when we look back at the pre draft predictions. Welcome to the cowboys draft hardcores if you are here you're on the path of speculation extraordinaire .
I am offering up one of my worst predictions and that was Felix Jones partner in the backfield Darren McFadden from Arkansas. I had Jerry trading up to draft him in the 1st rd using our other two first rd picks. In retrospect that would've been Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins(CB) and possibly a couple more from a later round.

Owamagbe Odighizuwa DE 6-3/270 UCLA

looks impressive

this is what I am worried about him

08/29/2013 - UCLA defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa will miss the upcoming season while recovering from hip surgery. UCLA coach Jim Mora said the senior isn't "physically or emotionally" ready to play after going through two surgeries on his hip. The second surgery was more difficult than Odighizuwa expected, according to Mora. Odighizuwa, known as "Owa," has been a key reserve for three seasons on the Bruins' defensive line. He made 44 tackles last season and emerged as a rising star while UCLA won the Pac-12 South and made the Holiday Bowl. But Odighizuwa had surgery on his left hip after the season, and needed another procedure after spring practice. - The Sports Xchange

will this affect him only time will tell

I would prefer Defensive line at the top

love the first pick but i would like to see more pressure players, probably in rounds 2/3

guys like lorenzo mauldin or danielle hunter would be welcome edge rushers imo potentially in round 2
