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.
I agree. Running backs are a dime a dozen. We need a healthy, stout tackling machine at linebacker.

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.
He is rising so this might be a stretch= maybe first high second right now but even high second we can try for Anil in the third

We need several good cb's.

Several? Diggs played pretty well for a rookie, the injury set him back some, with more games he'd probably have continued to improve. So there's one. Robinson was a rookie and played little last year, he was drafted, he needs a chance to show if he can make the grade. Awuzie, Lewis and Brown all need to be considered, ability aside, they all have NFL experience, that has value just by itself.

Cowboys' record of free agent picks is poor, I don't trust them to all of a sudden sign a great or very good cornerback, which you'd have to in order to get "several" besides the draft.

Still need a cornerback in the draft, but if you draft "several" you're greatly reducing the team's chances of getting a linebacker, safety, offensive tackle or defensive tackle, all of which are also a need. And you can't totally ignore need...

I did a PFN simulation mock and time and time again we had Farley or Surtain. then Pitts available at 10. The Slaton kid will be a steal. I like your pick there. DJ Daniel is another under the radar cb.I see 3 day 1 starters in your mock. Farley, Cox, Daniel. Radunz may not start right away due to who may be there in front of him. I like him tho.
