For Those About To Mock (We Salute You)

[SDogo]

AC/DC tribute mock in dedication to Hos and his appreciation of Mock draft titles that mimic a song title.

This typically about a month earlier then I like but in the "Dog Eat Dog" world of mocking the earlier your start the better you are in the long run.

If you don't like it I apologize but just once try "Giving The Dog A Bone"

V1.

Round 1.9
Prince Amukamara, CB Nebraska

We lose out on the Patrick Peterson sweepstakes but still lands the most fundamental CB in the draft. I'm with Hos and the unpopular opinion that Newman will extend his career in Dallas by moving back to the Safety position. Our defense was horrid against the pass last year. Some of it the lack of pressure and some of it the lack of coverage. Prince can "Cover You In Oil" at the line of scrimmage or come up in run support and make you feel "Thunderstruck".

Round 2.41
Cameron Heyward, DE Ohio St

There is always a player that drops on draft day like a "Landslide" and Heyward will be a victim of a deep DE class and a disappointing SR campaign. Jerry has the ability to eliminate the need for a DE but I cant see Spears, Bowen and Hatcher brought back. Cameron is an athletic freak that can anchor the outside and occasionally push the pocket. He will feel "Kicked In The Teeth" after dropping out of the first round when he was once a top 5 player. We need a few more players with a chip on their shoulder.

Round 3.73
John Moffitt, OG Wisconsin

We need to come out of this draft with one of the members of the Great wall of Wisconsin or I may "Shoot To Thrill". I still think we sign Logan Mankins in FA and move Kosier to RG but I think Davis is history and we lack serious depth along the OL. He wont be needed to start right now but the Cowboys need to start paying more attention to the OL. This guy plays like the "Skies On Fire" and is one of the more athletic lineman in the draft. When he pulls and finds a defender he makes their "Brain Shake".

Round 4.105
Deunta Williams, S North Carolina

Following the trend of Heyward the Cowboys will pounce on another player that dropped down the draft board but this time due to injury. A possible 1st round pick Williams represents pure value at a risky discount. All indications are that he may possibly be ready to put on some individual workout's for teams but most will only have tape to judge on. A ball hawk and play maker he will almost certainly upgrade the Dallas safety play in his first year and reduce the need to rush AOA into duty. A year or two down the road these young safeties will be ready to "Inject the Venom" on the rest of the league.

Round 5.137
James Carpenter, OT Alabama

Back to the OL, this is a player I know Dallas has spent some time scouting. An athletic big man with a mean streak he has left opponents hearing "Hells Bells" from the day he walked onto campus. Again, this is a change in direction for the Cowboys. Getting away from the scale killers to a more athletic group.

Round 6.169
Mike Mohamed, ILB California

I found a way to sneak one of my pet cats into this draft. Mohamed is tackling machine averaging 8 stops per game over his career. He is a fiery, high character guy and a leader. a 3-4 team cant complete a draft with out grabbing a LB. Ironically, in a AC/DC tribute mock we can refer to Cal coach Jeff Tedfor when recently asked about Mike, "he has got, "Big Balls".

Round 7.210
Derrick Locke, RB Kentucky

This guy is like "Kissin Dynamite" in the open field. I think he slips a little due to his size but I have been trying to land an all around weapon in my mocks like him for several years. He could fill in at RB, he's a dynamic kick and punt returner and a threat in the passing game. With him and Dez in the return game it will be kick to us "If You Dare".


So there it is, I walked the "Razor Edge" on some of these picks having guys slide a little but it happens. I'm sure I'll take some heat and a few will show their "Meanstreak" but I look forward to the feedback.

For those of you not old enough to appreciate AC/DC or missed the references, I apologize but "Dont Give It Up", "Come And Get It" and you too some day shall be remember as the mocker who "Shook Me All Night Long".

 

[UnoDallas]

I could live with that - very nice

 

[LatinMind]

deunta williams will not last till the 4th round. even with his injury. without that injury he's a top 10-15 pick. he'll be gone by the end of the 2nd.

 

[casmith07]

I could live with it too.

SDogo - what are you hearing on the Cowboys scouting of Deunta from UNC?

 

[Hostile]

One of the best I have seen so far.

 

[batman36]

I broadcasted three of Lockes' high school games(Soph., Jr., and Sr. years), when he was at Hugo, Oklahoma. The team who's games I called never had an answer for him. He comes from an excellent family, and would be a nice addition to the Cowboys.

That's pure early speculation. I know a lot of teams that had a second round grade on him.

I know they were at at the October 2nd game where East Carolina traveled to North Carolina. I was at that game to meet with Rich Behm who I have known since I was 10.

I know they were there to scout several members of the NC defense but on what they thought I could not tell you.

 

[CanuckCowboysFan]

Prince!! I am praying. That would be great. Good overall mock bro!!

 

[CanuckCowboysFan]

without that injury he's a top 10-15 pick.

Um, no he's not.

 

[Nirvana]

Nice mock. Good read with the song tributes. Well done.

I dont know anyone that this season, had him that high. Maybe you did.

Most I saw had him rated as a 2nd or early 3rd rd pick.

 

[burmafrd]

Without him being able to really work out there is no way he is a first or even a second rd pick. I do like this mock a whole lot.

 

[UnoDallas]

got a real delemmas there between 2 - 4 IMO

I think Duenta Williams still goes 3rd of even late 2nd

I think Heyward will be gone by the time we pick in the

I look for us to grab either Tyron Smith, OT, USC - Marcus Cannon, G, TCU

a RT upgrade

don't really like Caprenter hes slow footed IMO

or you go RT late Rounds

Jah Reid, OT, Central Florida
Height: 6-7. Weight: 315.

Richard Lapham, OT, Boston College
Height: 6-8. Weight: 322.

 

[hsfolk]

you don't see Cam Heyward dropping to 2nd round

I like Cannon a lot and almost slipped him in there.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I think despite his performance in the sugar bowl, Cameron Heyward (as well as Adrian Clayborn and Allen Bailey) will be given a second round grade and won't be considered a steal. Between the 3, I would take Bailey, but Heyaward would be cool.

 

[Sunspot Jonz]

One of the best mock drafts I've seen for the Cowboys. Well done sir.

 

[TheCount]

Top 10 to 15? I don't think so but I do like this mock. Well done.

 

[dogberry]

I didn't recognize a single song. Have you nothing from the 16th century? Some folks will need forty years before another Carpenter will be ok. I really appreciate everyone being willing to go out on the limb and do mocks.
