Dane Brugler 2nd Round Mock

[Toruk_Makto]

Adding impact RB will have a bigger influence on team success than adding adding defenders who may or may not be able to beat out our incumbents

Sorry. I value cbs and defensive lineman more than I do rbs. Especially with our line that gets our rbs 3 yards per rush before contact.

 

[Ken]

He is suspended 10 games. how are we going to get any pressure on guys like Brady. Rodgers on one leg did not teach some of you anything.

At the moment he is but it will be reduced. In addition, there is a lot of draft left and still more offseason even after that.....patience grasshopper.

 

[JIGGYFLY]

He is? May have to rethink my stance.

Are you a Johnson fan?

 

[Rogerthat12]

There was surprisingly a lot of talk about Duke last night on the Cowboys Draft Show. Maybe he's in play after all

He may be in play, I think since they passed on the first rounders they may go the platoon route after all. Duke is an explosive player with great hands, so if this is the direction they go, he could work well in a rotation.

 

[Alexander]

Are you a Johnson fan?

He has been growing on me recently.

I get that but our cb's and D-linemen weren't great last year and look what this team did with a great O-line and top RB. We should have beat GB. We destroyed Seattle in Seattle and think we would have again. I think were we are putting to much into this O-line being able to make any RB great

That's my point. You call Murray a top rb now. But nobody did before the season. Think about why.

That line made him an All Pro.

 

[Frosty]

I will ask this again. WHERE IS THE PASS RUSH ? we draft a CB and a RB. WHERE IS THE PASS RUSH? only 28 sacks last year. right near the bottom of the NFL.

Look no further than DLAW...Hardy...MIncey...Crawford...it will be better

 

[Zimmy Lives]

He has been growing on me recently.

He's been growing on me like foot fungus but I am not ready to embrace him just yet at 60.

 

[BigD_95]

That's my point. You call Murray a top rb now. But nobody did before the season. Think about why.

That line made him an All Pro.

the guy ran for over 200 yds in one game his first season. Over 1,000 the year before this past year. Skill was there but Garrett refused to run the ball.

 

[Crown Royal]

Assume Hardy is good for 12 and you can find 6 more with Lawrence, that puts the Cowboys at 45 or good for top ten last year. (Assuming Mincey stays productive with a different role).

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Many a rb have had awesome games who weren't awesome. Remember when you blew your fantasy free agent budget on Jonas Gray?

And Garrett didn't refuse to run the ball. We only ran on favorable downs because we couldn't impose our will. Now we run whenever the **** we want to.

Lance Zierlein 2nd RND Mock
Round 2

33. Tennessee Titans -- Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
Titans need cornerback help in a big way and Collins has first-round upside.

34. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon
Tampa Bay must find tackle help to protect its investment in Jameis Winston.

35. Oakland Raiders -- Donovan Smith, OT, Penn State
Big and strong, Smith provides a formidable frame to add to the Raiders' offensive line.

36. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Eric Rowe, CB, Utah
Rowe will likely remind Gus Bradley of his former pupils in Seattle, where he served as defensive coordinator.

37. New York Jets -- Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA
The most productive collegiate inside linebacker over the last three years goes to Todd Bowles.

38. Washington Commanders -- Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE/OLB, UCLA
Washington needs an edge-setter with athleticism and "Owa" has been rising up draft boards.

39. Chicago Bears -- Landon Collins, S, Alabama
The Bears would be thrilled to see Collins available here, but he could be the target of a trade-up earlier than this spot.

40. New York Giants -- Carl Davis, DT, Iowa
Davis had a huge Senior Bowl week and the Giants could use his brand of strength and quickness.

41. St. Louis Rams -- Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State
This is about the right spot for Strong, and it is definitely the right fit for the WR-needy Rams.

42. Atlanta Falcons -- Eddie Goldman, NT, Florida State
The transition to a 3-4 defense needs a pass rusher and run stuffer. Goldman is the run stuffer.

43. Cleveland Browns -- Eli Harold, OLB, Virginia
Cleveland needs edge speed; Harold is one of the quickest upfield in this draft.

44. New Orleans Saints -- Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
The Saints lost Kenny Stills but Smith is likely an upgrade.

45. Minnesota Vikings -- Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Missouri
Teddy Bridgewater gets a boom-or-bust deep threat with the ability to come in and help right away.

46. San Francisco 49ers -- Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State
Darby didn't get the headlines that P.J. Williams received while at Florida State, but he's the more talented of the two.

47. Miami Dolphins -- P.J. Williams, CB, Florida State
Oh, hi, P.J.! I was just saying I love your game! ... Williams gives the Dolphins length and press-man coverage talent.

48. San Diego Chargers -- Jordan Phillips, NT, Oklahoma
Big-bodied interior player with rare quickness for a man his size. Has dominant potential, but must unlock it.

49. Kansas City Chiefs -- Preston Smith, DE, Mississippi State
Has great hands and will be a plus pass rusher as a 3-4 end in the Chiefs' scheme.

50. Buffalo Bills -- A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina
Rex Ryan didn't have a first-round pick, but he is always looking to win in the trenches, and Cann helps that cause.

51. Houston Texans -- Tre' Jackson, OG, Florida State
Bill O'Brien wants to transition into a more power-based run game and Jackson has the size and talent to help in that effort.

52. Philadelphia Eagles -- Quinten Rollins, S, Miami (Ohio)
The Eagles could try Rollins at cornerback or safety, but what he flashed in only one year of college football was undeniable.

53. Cincinnati Bengals -- Grady Jarrett, NT, Clemson
One of the most disruptive interior defenders in this draft, Jarrett can fit right into the rotation for the Bengals.

54. Detroit Lions -- T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh
Long fall for Clemmings, but a good spot for him if he ends up this far down the second-round board.

55. Arizona Cardinals -- Nate Orchard, OLB, Utah
Everyone knows the Cardinals need outside linebacker help. It's just a matter of what their draft grades look like at this spot.

56. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota
Williams needs to improve as a run blocker, but he comes from NFL bloodlines and is the best pass-catching TE in this draft.

57. Carolina Panthers -- D'Joun Smith, CB, Florida Atlantic
Wiry frame with great man-cover talent. Smith's quick-twitch athleticism is a welcome sight in Carolina.

58. Baltimore Ravens -- Duke Johnson, RB, Miami (Fla.)
Johnson is an electric running back with the best zone-scheme skills of any rusher in this draft.

59. Denver Broncos -- Mitch Morse, OG, Missouri
Morse has been flying up draft boards lately. The former tackle transitions to guard or center and fits Gary Kubiak's offense perfectly.

60. Dallas Cowboys -- Randy Gregory, DE, Nebraska
Sources tell me Gregory is off the draft board for many teams, but Dallas might not be able to pass on him if he's still available.

61. Indianapolis Colts -- Paul Dawson, ILB, TCU
Dawson didn't win the combine, but there were no other inside 'backers in college football who made more plays than him.

62. Green Bay Packers -- Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi State
McKinney can be a little bit plodding and limited at times, but he's steady and a great tackler, which is a need inside for Green Bay.

63. Seattle Seahawks -- Michael Bennett, DT, Ohio State
Winning with quickness is a Seattle trademark, and Bennett is a plus pass rusher from the interior spot.

64. New England Patriots -- Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State
This might seem early for Lockett, but he is an outstanding return man who has Wes Welker's competitiveness from the slot.

[RackofRibs]

Too many people on here are content with relying on unproven 4th round and later defensive linemen. Ok, only Gardner is unproven but last years rookies weren't great and we won't really know if they improved till like wk 4. If they don't address Dline in the 2nd and 3rd then I hope they plan on re-signing Hardy to a multi year contract

 

[cowboyvic]

Look no further than DLAW...Hardy...MIncey...Crawford...it will be better

Hardy is suspended 10 games. and we had the other 3 last yeay and had no pass rush. we have got to fix this pass rush in this draft.and all i see is people talking about is RB. and other things. people need to stop.

 

[Alexander]

He's been growing on me like foot fungus but I am not ready to embrace him just yet at 60.

I understand how you feel. I am just paranoid about trying to wait until 91.

This is a copycat league. Seattle used to have the market cornered on the RB thing, but our season last year probably made more believers.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Carl Davis, Grady Jarrett, Preston Smith, Brendarick McKinney even Randy Gregory could be there in 28 picks...omg

 

[Alexander]

Especially with our line that gets our rbs 3 yards per rush before contact.

I keep seeing this and it appears to be applied globally.

What was Randle or Dunbar's yards per rush before contact?

 

[Alexander]

Carl Davis, Grady Jarrett, Preston Smith, Brendarick McKinney even Randy Gregory could be there in 28 picks...omg

You have to like what is there, just hope a couple of these players are there.

Couldn't agree more. Look at the Giants when they won the SB, they had 4 or 5 guys that struck fear in the hearts of defenses. Right now we're saying, well if these THREE guys have CAREER years then we might have a chance. Time to stock up on guys that aren't projects.
