This is the beginning of my first mock, some of you wanted to know who I was interested in. I still have some sleepers, won’t put them down yet. I know I have for each round some players drafted, but I will break that down after the combine in more detail who I think the Cowboys will take. but I put in bold who I think the Cowboys will draft, but make changes later after combine, visits the Cowboys bring players in to look at etc...
1. I think we take a top OT if one is around when we draft, if not a top OG like Iupati, if you look at all of the past drafts, no offensive guard was ever taken till the 22nd round or so. The Cowboys may have to trade up to get him, because the eagles were looking at him too and you all know how andy reid liked linemen. However, if the OGs and OTs are gone and someone like Earl Thomas is there, the Cowboys could take him.
