So my last one is from 3 months ago so a ton has changed obviously since than
https://cowboyszone.com/threads/carters-mock-2-0.472506/
Here is my Cowboys Picks for next week . I might do another one a day before the draft.
Round 1 Pick 10
Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama, 6'1, 205 Lbs
Patrick Surtain II is a highly touted cornerback for the Crimson Tide. A former 5-star recruit and coveted player, he’s been a three-year starter for Alabama. The son of former Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs corner Patrick Surtain, he has the DNA and football genes of a former successful NFL player. The junior cornerback's length, discipline, and mild-mannered playing style are the best attributes of his game. Surtain II's deep speed will be the biggest question that he will need to answer on the next level as there have been some occurrences of where he’s surrendered throws into the deeper portions of the field.
I had Surtain in my last mock too and im pretty sure he or Slater will be the pick but i think they will hope for T.Smith and Collins to make a full recovery and stay on the field more.
Round 2 Pick 44
Jalen Mayfield, OT, Michigan, 6'5 320 Lbs
Jalen Mayfield projects as a quality starting offensive lineman at the NFL level. He’s got ample size and functional athleticism to play in space in pass protection and with just two years of starting experience under his belt, Mayfield is only going to continue to get better with more repetitions. Mayfield showed impressive improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 after facing a murderer’s row of pass rushes in his first season as a starter in 2019, having to block top-50 picks Yetur Gross-Matos and Chase Young while also having to handle other prominent pass rushers such as Anfernee Jennings, Jayson Oweh, Shaka Toney, Terrell Lewis, Khalid Kareem, Julian Okwara, and others
Round 3 Pick 75
Carlos Basham Jr. , DE, Wake Forest, 6'3 285 lbs
Wake Forest defensive end Carlos Basham Jr. takes his game to the next level after racking up splash play after splash play from 2018-2020. In 31 games across that span, Basham Jr. has 33.5 tackles for loss, 19.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles, and a defensive touchdown. At the next level, Basham Jr. projects most favorably as a left defensive end in a 4-3 scheme that situationally gets chances to rush interior gaps. He’s a power style end that is strong at the point of attack, does well to contain, and features a sufficient pass-rushing skill set where his technique and effort leads to pressure on the quarterback.
Round 3 Pick 99 (Comp)
Tommy Togiai, DT, Ohio State, 6'2, 300 Lbs
Ohio State defensive tackle Tommy Togiai projects as a high-level run defender along the defensive interior in the NFL. Togiai offers natural leverage with his build and frame, which allows him to sit under the pads of blockers with consistency. That leverage advantage is paired with nifty hand usage and really good lateral mobility for his stature—giving Togiai a prominent presence along the line of scrimmage on both interior runs and plays that are strung out into the numbers. Togiai’s ceiling as a pass rusher isn’t great, but he does have enough quickness to threaten gaps in single-gap penetration opportunities. Ideally, he’s an early-down defender who cedes reps to more dynamic threats and designated pass rushers at the pro level. With that said, he has the feel of a starting interior defender.
Round 4 Pick 115
Andre Cisco, S, Syracuse, 6'0 200 Lbs
Syracuse safety Andre Cisco’s college career will be remembered for the frequent splash plays he made on the football that resulted in 13 interceptions and 14 pass breakups in just 24 games. He’s a ball magnet and his ability to take away the football makes him an appealing prospect. Not only is he a ballhawk, but Cisco’s size and athleticism are also both plus traits.
He tore his ACL last season but if the medical report is good on him i take him as hes a true Safety and not a Hybrid like most guys this draft. The injury will probably drop him out of the 2nd day of the Draft.
Round 4 Pick 138
Hunter Long, TE, Boston College, 6'5, 255 Lbs
More often than not, talented tight ends are underutilized in college, but that is not the case when it comes to Boston College’s Hunter Long. In 2020, Long led all tight ends in college football with 89 targets, 22 more than the second-most targeted tight end. Long led the nation with 57 receptions and collected 685 receiving yards with five touchdowns. He was featured heavily in the Boston College offense and he delivered. Long is a sound route-runner with good hands and sufficient ball skills. He’s a versatile option that is experienced blocking and running routes from a variety of alignments within the offense. Long projects as an excellent TE2 in a 12-personnel heavy offense with the ceiling of a modest TE1.
(Comp)
Round 5 Pick 179 (Comp)
Jack Anderson, OG, Texas Tech, 6'5, 310 Lbs
Jack Anderson is a solidly built guard prospect that looks every bit of the part. Last season, he was only able to play in three games due to injury. Prior to that point, he collected 28 consecutive starts at right guard. With a well-developed body overall, he uses it to his advantage in all parts of his game. In the Raiders' up-tempo scheme, he receives many opportunities to show off his skill in pass protection. Anderson keeps his balance intact with a controlled set with his hands consistently loaded and ready to fire.
Quick-moving and fast-attacking linebackers can give him trouble when attempting to land his body on them.
Ideal Role: Development right or left guard that could eventually turn into a starter.
Round 6 Pick 192
Chris Evans, RB, Michigan, 5'11 215 Lbs
Michigan running back Chris Evans presents as an appealing Day 3 gamble for an NFL franchise to take. Evans has all of the physical skills necessary to be an impact ball-carrier, but his pathway to the NFL has been marred by some bumps in the road along the way. Evans missed the entire 2019 season due to academic suspension and his return in 2020 was him only used sparingly—so there’s a two-year gap between his high-impact play and when an NFL team will need to make an investment in him
Round 6 Pick 227 (Comp)
Trevon Grimes, WR, Florida, 6'4 230 Lbs
After beginning his career at Ohio State, Trevon Grimes quickly pivoted to Florida (2018). After transferring there, he found a home and settled in during his time in Gainesville. Showing positive signs in 2019, he became a more featured player during his final season with the Gators. Grimes is a big-bodied receiver that is best when placed along the boundary. With below-average speed, but long strides, he has the ability to threaten defenders in front of him. A mainstay as a run blocker, he provides extra value during short motions to in-line positions on the backside of runs.
Round 7 Pick 238
Bobby Brown III, DT, Texas A&M, 6'4 315 Lbs
Bobby Brown III is an interior defender that’s built like a brick house. He possesses a very mature body that helps him maintain leverage as a run defender on the interior. He’s proven to anchor well and has the lower-body strength to stand pat at the point of attack. Brown III does everything that you can ask a run defender to do on the interior of the first level. While he isn’t a big sack artist, he has the ability to create pressure strictly off of gaining penetration with his natural strength. Playing mainly the 1-technique, he has gained lots of experience against double teams.
Ideal Role: Developmental 1-technique.
Scheme Fit: 1-technique in a 4-3 defensive front.
