Draft Network Mock

[gimmesix]

I'll take that all day every day.

I would like to see a LB though even if its late. If not it'll be a gaping hole this time next year.

I like the defense-heavy first four picks. They fit needs and are generally considered good selections for their slot. Like you, I'd like to see at least one linebacker added, if not more than that. I'd probably add one in the fourth instead of the RB.

 

[Bigdog]

No chance after the senior bowl performance

Yeah he might go at the end of the 1st but definitely in the 2nd

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Pair this draft with signing Tomlinson away from the Giants and It would be a good off season. If Maye gets signed id hope they still take Grant if he's there, Wilson won't last healthy all 16 games cause of the way he tackles.

 

[Floatyworm]

I think our first pick will be an offensive tackle.

If we were smart and thinking long term.....it should be....unless your really wanting to get better...then I trade up to #2 and take Zach Wilson.

After messing around with a lot of the simulators - this one has the comp picks and typically is more realistic than some of the others....however you occasionally get that dream draft situation. If this somehow was to occur, the defense should be set for years to come:

1st. Caleb Farley - CB VTech
-Pitts, Slater on the board as well - lock down CB (just stay healthy)

2nd. Davioyon Nixon - DT Iowa
-3T - great burst, get after the QB type of DT. Best way to create havoc - up the middle.

3rd. Richie Grant - S - UCF
-He is rising so this might be a stretch - Ideal FS for years to come. Would fit perfect in Dallas.
Deonte Brown - G from Bama was on board so, would have been him if Grant gone.

3rd. Tyler Shelvin - DT LSU
-1T - run stuffing DT matched with Nixon and we are ready to roll. I want him really bad in this draft. Might even look at him with first 3rd depending on how board falls.

4th. Kenneth Gainwell - RB Memphis
-Can be primary back after Zeke and excels in passing game. Would need to fill out more to be featured back..

4th. Rashad Weaver - DE Pitt
6'4 270 DE - not going to wow but good first step. Missed 2019 with injury. Had 8 sacks and 3 forced fumbles last year.

5th. Olaijah Griffin - CB USC
Was highly recruited out of HS - 5 star athlete. 6ft 180lb - likely outside CB. Some minor injury issues but will go after the ball and willing to tackle.

6th. Jaylon Moore - G/OT - West Mich
6'4 315 - developmental Oline. 2nd team all Mid American last two years.

6th. Joshua Kaindoh - DE - FSU
Physical freak at 6'7 250 - gonna need to develop as a pass rusher but the tools are there.

7th. Marco Wilson - CB - Florida
6ft 195 - can play inside at slot - we are gonna need more CB given the FA that are leaving. He has the athletic ability but needs to play more physical at next level.

If Dallas wants Grant they are going to have to Draft him in Round 2. I think Weaver might go a round early or at least won't make it to our pick in Round 4 especially since that pick will be towards the end of the Round. I would replace the RB in the 4th Round with a LB. But I like the picks and I think most of the people putting up Mock Draft understand that we are going to draft Defense early and often.

Agree with everything you said here.

Wow!! You passed on Pitts for Caleb Farley. Pitts not only has a higher floor then Farley but also has a higher ceiling. The draft is about improving the team’s overall talent. As much as we need defense the draft is about bringing in the best talent. This draft is scary because the offensive players are so much better then the defensive guys. There is chance that 9 offensive players get picked before our pick at 10.

 

[Cowboyny]

Yeah he might go at the end of the 1st but definitely in the 2nd

I think he is more of a top 50 prospect, but may go higher due to lack of depth in the class. It is very possible one of Moehrig/Grant can still be on the board at the time of the Cowboy pick. What is also possible, a player like Holland could go ahead of them.

 

[Cowboyny]

Honestly, I'm not sure the FO and/or coaches have anywhere near the problem with Jaylon Smith as fans. For example, many fans feel his performance is so bad, they want him replaced as cut, off the team. Interestingly he led all defensive players in snaps for the year. So if coaches thought he was as bad as fans seem to think, I'm guessing they would have benched him at least but that didn't happen. Meaning a huge gap between what fans are seeing and coaches based on snap counts/playing time. Bottom line, I don't think THEY have a question of what to do about Jaylon...he's a 2021 starter, nothing to indicate otherwise.

BTW....I think they have to make a decision on LVE option this year ( May or June I think )

Nothing we have heard or read indicates Jaylon's roster spot is in trouble, but look at the rest of the positional group:

-Lve has missed 13 games in the last two seasons
-Sean Lee is on his last legs, more then likely he retires
-Joe Thomas is a fa
-Need another starting linebacker moving to the 4-3
-Have zero depth at the position outside of special teamers or undrafted fa's.

The front office needs to address the positional group in a big way. Free Agency and the Draft.

I love these picks right here and hope they fall to us. I like your 2nd as well but love these.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

I think our first pick will be an offensive tackle.

Don't see it, took offensive first last year, and I think that's only because Lamb was available, and one of the worst NFL defenses ever last year.

Awuzie, Lewis, Goodwin and Woods all free agents.

DB, probably CB, I think. Depends on who's available of course. No doubt OT would be a good pick, with Smith and Collins both coming off surgery, though...

I think a corner or offensive tackle will be the pick.

All things equal they will take a tackle and look to bolster the Oline back up.

We can get buy without super elite corners.. If our tackle situation gets bad then we’ll just be a bad team.

I think the defense gets back to bending and not breaking regardless of who we trot out there.

Based on who you read/listen to, there are several very good OT prospects that are likely to be available in the second round, don't see there are that many good corners.
And I also think teams value cbs more than ots, in general. But I haven't researched that, just my off the top of my head reaction.

But I'd be glad to have either OT or CB at 10, both are needs and both have top players available...

Well sure after all good running backs are a "dime a dozen", right? A 7th rounder will be just as good as Zeke.



And grab hold of something, the anti-Zeke'ers are rolling.

Agree 1000% but Jerry and Stephen have been proactive ( looking 2-3 years ahead ). Don't get me wrong, I see exactly what you're saying about LVE, Lee and depth but since Jaylon and LVE are under contract, I don't expect them to spend a lot on the position other than few low-level bargain players.

hate this mock. No real corners . Just JAGS..EDIT...except for Farley. We need several good cb's.

Who are your starting 3 linebackers if Lee/Thomas don't return which is a real possibility? Who replaces Lve if he cannot stay healthy? Free Agency starter is needed and better depth in the draft.

I agree CB is gonna be a very big need for Dallas but you can't have 3 rookies playing CB. That's asking for a disaster. They are either going to have to resign one of Lewis/Cheeto or sign a FA that can play. However, revamping your Dline is just as big of need.

If they were to somehow come away with the top CB, top 3 S and those two guys on the Dline. I'm not sure you could ask for more.

FA - CB and LB will be a must.

under normal circumstances, your right. Our db's had vets last year and STILL sucked. At this point, just get the rooks in there. I dont even care if we start 2 rookies. I want the best corners starting no matter who they are and where they came from.ONE insteresting concept/idea I have is signing Sherman and asking him to move to safety. I think that would be very interesting and allow him to play longer.

 

[reddyuta]

I really dont want to wait till the 6th RD to draft a OT,our situation is more dire than people realize .your entire offense can be wreaked with bad OT play.
