  Dallas Cowboys
  Nakobe Dean
  LB, Georgia

Butkus award winner in college this year. Would be a perfect fit for Dan Quinn's scheme. Just not sure if they go LB back to back years. Would be a much more effective version of Keanu Neal. 6'0 225

• 56.
  
  Dallas Cowboys
  Arnold Ebiketie
  EDGE, Penn State

Quick twitch DE that can get to the QB. Gregory replacement. Needs work on run defense, but gets into the backfield quickly to disrupt plays. 6'4 250

• 88.
  
  Dallas Cowboys
  Jalen Wydermyer
  TE, Texas A&M

Playmaking TE - offensive weapon. Could step in and start next year. Needs to work on run blocking, but has good size and should improve. 6'5 265

• 125.
  
  Dallas Cowboys
  Ed Ingram
  IOL, LSU

Strong player - can play T as well, but would work best as a G in the NFL. Ability to anchor, which our current LG lacks. 6'4 320

• 165.
  
  Dallas Cowboys
  Reggie Roberson Jr.
  WR, SMU

Quick twitch WR - Explosive in breaks and has another gear once in open space. Route tree is limited but should excel in space. 6'0 200

• 174.
  
  Dallas Cowboys
  Zaquandre White
  RB, South Carolina

Has played both LB an RB in college. Will be a threat in passing game (if they can figure out how to do that) and quick change of direction in back field. Hasn't played a ton in college but everything is there for him to develop quickly. 6'1 220

  Isaac Taylor-Stuart
  CB, USC

He was the top CB available - good size, but I don't know much about him to be honest. Pretty sure he's fast 6'2 195

Regarding Taylor-Stuart ; Participating in adidas and Nike camps, Taylor-Stuart won 40-yard sprint competitions at both events and is being proclaimed as the nation’s fastest high school football player. His fastest 40 was 4.32 seconds.

I think pick 88 long gone by then. Need a DT somewhere

LOL “drafting for need” by totally ignoring the biggest ones: OC, LOG, DT

 

[Hardline]

You don't draft for need.

We don't have 20 picks

DE - gonna be a huge need with Tank cap hit and Gregory FA
LB - Parsons - Cox coming off injury and what? - huge need
OG - don't think I need to explain this one - huge need - this is a LOG
WR - half are FA and could walk - leaves huge cap hit with Cooper and Lamb - huge need
TE - Schultz is FA - huge need
RB - Zeke is washed, will be on last year - Pollard FA after next year - huge need for talent here
CB - this one isn't necessary a big need, but value was there

C - we have players there, no FA leaving that creates a hole
LG - drafted in my mock
DT - we need a big DT - they aren't going to draft that - despite my wishes, they just don't value that typically. We have young talent that could step up next year here

Agreed, but just went with what was there. Small chance he falls as there is a lot of TE talent in 2nd-3rd rounds

I want a big DT just as the rest of us do, but they just never draft that for some reason, so I've given up hope
