CowboysZone Mock Draft​

Houston is on the clock at #20​

Vote how you think the team WILL draft (not how they should draft)​

I'll provide at least 8 choices for each team (sorry if I don't include your favorite and you're welcome to email me suggestions prior to a team's choice)​

I'll leave the option out there for at least 4 hours unless it is so unanimous that I can go on to the next team. When we move on, I'll make a post saying the counting for that draft slot has ended and what the verdict is​

Notes.
Assumed team needs: CB, RB, OG, S, DT, WR,

 

[DFWJC]

They lost Dunta Robinson and need a CB VERY badly, but there are sveral available here. A trade down could happen...especially for a team wanting Earl Thomas (which is becoming very attractive value-wise). It would cost Dallas their 1st and 3rd to move up here. Do they do it?

Instead, I think they stay with their board and take the best player available

Earl Thomas, S, Texas


CB is the greater need but they could use a safety too. And being in Manning's division, they need a ball-hawk.

 

[JBS]

Thomas

 

[dmoore]

I think CB is too great a need to pass up, and there's a couple good ones still on the board.

Kyle Wilson

Earl Thomas continues to drop, but he won't fall past the Packers.

 

[SMCowboy]

CB is a much bigger need that Safety. And Kyle Wilson is a great value at #20 as well...

Yer joking. They've got Jacques Reeves.

I'm looking at a Mock on line that says ET makes it to the Eagles. That same mock agrees with you and has Houston taking Wilson

 

[Avery]

Earl Thomas - this should be a slam dunk.

 

[JBell]

Wilson

Ryan Matthews

I tend to think the secondary needs help and that Slaton and the new kid, Foster, can do okay. But a lot (maybe most?) mocks have them going with Matthews....so you are not alone.

Matthews makes sense, but I think Wilson's a better prospect. Plus the RBs available in round 2-3 are better than the CBs in round 2-3. That's part of the reason that I couldn't go safety. If they skipped both of the two main holes, then it's even later until they get to address them. I just think going CB-RB-S helps them more than going S-CB-RB.

 

[Woods]

Wilson. They need to replace D Robinson who went to Atlanta.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Earl Thomas. They need a Cornerback too, but this is the type of elite talent they need in their backfield to help stop the Colts.

 

[Letemburn]

Earl Thomas with Kyle Wilson being a close 2nd.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Kyle Wilson.
