CowboysZone Mock Draft

MINNESOTA is on the clock at #30

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 3 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, DT, S, OT, QB, RB, LB

 

[Woods]

T Tebow

 

[Jenky]

Kareem Jackson

 

[TheSport78]

Tough pick. I definitely think CB should be their highest need, so it's between Jackson and Robinson. I'll go with the player who has been rising as of late: Kareem Jackson.

 

[DFWJC]

Minny has plenty of players they like still on the board. If this were to happen, someone would proably trade up a few slots with them...maybe Buffalo going for a QB.They could go any number of ways as they're getting old at DT (Cody or Price) and the secondary could use help, plus they eventually need a QB and backup RB. Even Oline

They need CB help badly and Jackson is flying up the charts...so

KAREEM JACKSON, CB, Alabama


At some point, someone will pull the trigger on the two high risk but high reward guys (Mays, Campbell). The risk is much lower this late. I'm sure one of them will go much earlier in the real draft.

 

[COWBOYSNUM1]

Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama

 

[CATCH17]

Let's go with Dick Butkus.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Brian Price. Pat Williams is getting up there in age.

 

[Avery]

Tim Tebow - Favre remains one more year and teaches him the ropes.

 

[DFWJC]

2 hours in ...not much voting

so far: Jackson =4, Tebow =2, Price =1

 

[eightysiX]

Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama

 

[Arch Stanton]

Colt McCoy

 

[28 Joker]

Brian Price UCLA

 

[KingintheNorth]

Kareem Jackson

 

[Phrozen Phil]

I'll go with need and a rising prospect: KAREEM JACKSON, CB, Alabama

 

[Picksix]

I agree with Kareem Jackson.

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Cody, DT, Oklahoma.

I don't see them reaching for Tebow or McCoy this year. Favre will be back and T Jax is servicable. Next year's QB draft will be deeper, IMO. They make the safe pick and go DL.

 

[Manster74]

K. Jackson

 

[dasander]

Kareem Jackson CB from Alabama.

 

[ShiningStar]

Tim Tebow - Favre remains one more year and teaches him the ropes.

Problem with this, when asked "how will you help Rodgers be prepared to take over?"

Favre responded with "its not my job to prepare him"

Favre has told many a people no one helped him prepare and hes not here to help them prepare or be ready or to take over. Now maybe that has changed but i have not seen 1 bit of evidence and hes certainly not there to help Jackson, and I highly doubt he has the time, if he does come back, to help their next qb.



BTW, K Jackson CB, Green Bay is not going to get away with an injury free CB corp this year, get some young blood in there that can get the job done.
