With about a week away, all we are going to hear is smoke. This yr is by far the hardest to project; no combine, no individuals workouts, no 30 visits. Think slotting will be all over the place. In my past mocks, I projected what I think the Cowboys would do, this is what I want them to do:

1-Slater G/T Northwestern (OL is really starting to show their age, time to reload with a Zach Martin talent)
2-Grant FS UCF (think he is the best fit for the single high safety that this scheme requires)
3-Joseph CB Kentucky (he is just a notch below the 1st tier players, he gets knock down for character concerns)
3b-McNeil NT NC State (think he is the best 1T in the entire class, see many project him going this late)
4-Barnes LB Purdue (a potential 3rd day Steal, add depth to a need position.)
4b-Deablo S/LB Virginia Tech (same school, same build as Kam Chancellor)
5-Sample DE/DT Tulane (one of those base DE, kicks inside on the nickel
6-Niemann LB Iowa (continue to add more to a positional group with major question marks.)
7-Jackson T Iowa (developmental tackle)
7b-Ehlinger QB Texas (MM likes to develop young QB's)
 
I'd be pretty happy with that. Forgot developmental tackle....I'd look for C/G depth in the late rounds. We have like 8 tackles on the team. If we draft one high, absolutely no reason to waste another pick on one.

Deablo is gonna be a steal for someone. He'd be doing in 2022 what we want Neal to do this year

1- Don’t hate it but would depend on who’s there
2- No thanks. I think he’s the 5th best option for FS personally. To each their own.
3- If he last this long it’s a good pick.
3B- same as above
4- I like other LB’s more, but there’s probably 6 or 7 guys that are ranked similarly in this range depending where you look
4b- Don’t love the player, but it’s not a bad pick
5- Solid 5th rounder, but I hope we pick a DE earlier.
6- If he last this long it’s a good pick.
7- Probably wouldn’t make the roster. Need to take an OT earlier IMO
7- Why not
 
I've heard bad things about K. Joseph..don't think he's in play..also don't want Slater..but I'll leave your mock draft alone..final mock 2.0 will be better
