Over the weekend we asked BTB members for their mock Cowboys drafts in our Mock Draft Challenge. 77 mock drafts later we look at the results of that challenge.
n Saturday last week we launched our second 2015 BTB Mock Draft Challenge of the year in which we asked BTB members for their mock Cowboys drafts and then asked the community to vote on the mocks. But instead of simply asking for a list of randomly put together names, or copying something Fanspeak, we limited the flexibility by establishing some specific rules: The mock draft had to be conducted according to the player rankings provided by the CBSSports.com big board. Only one trade-down was allowed, and trading up was only permissible if the trade value points given up were equal to or greater than the trade value points received.
is significantly limited the options in the mock drafts and forced the mockers to make decisions that they might not have had to make with a less rigorous approach. Also, the mockers were stuck with where a given player was ranked by CBSSports.
77 valid mocks were submitted in total, and a staggering 168 different players were picked in those mocks.
The CBSSports big board had some early Cowboys fan favorites like Todd Gurley (No. 18 overall), Owamagbe Odighizuwa (No. 24), and Kevin Johnson (No. 26) ranked ahead of the Cowboys' 27th pick. You would think that such a short hop would entice many Cowboys fans to move up, but that didn't happen. This is what the 77 mock drafts ended up doing with their first pick:
Trade up: 5
Stay put: 23
Trade down: 49
