I got two words for ya: M*CK IT

[TheSport78]

Trade down with Detroit so they can draft Prince; we grab their 3rd rounder

1st round: OT Tyron Smith, USC

This gives Dallas a solid bookend, tackle combo for a very long time. Smith will step in right away and start at RT, while the Cowboys release Colombo.

2nd round: G/C Danny Watkins, Baylor

Because of Leonard Davis' fat contract, the Cowboys need to cover themselves by going OL strong early. We know Houck loves Watkins and he would bring a nastiness to the OL, similar to what Colombo has done in the past.

3rd round (3a): DE/DT Kenrick Ellis, Hampton

Rob Ryan loves versatile defensive linemen, and Ellis fits the bill. This guy is a huge sleeper and could push for a starting job down the line.

3rd round (3b): CB Ras I-Dowling, Virginia

Because of durability concerns, the Cowboys lock up the talented corner in the 3rd round. He could be our Chris Canty. We have the best strength and conditioning coach in the NFL. Get him healthy, and keep him healthy.

4th round: ILB Greg Jones, Michigan State

More ILB depth is needed with Bradie James and Keith Brooking in a contract year. The Cowboys have interest.

5th round: S Da'Norris Searcy, North Carolina

We know the Cowboys are bringing him in for a workout. Safety competition is needed. I still fully expect the Cowboys to sign Huff and possibly Sensabaugh once he realizes there is no market for him.

6th round: WR Andre Holmes, Hillsdale

A big-bodied WR that the Cowboys like. Ogletree cannot be depended on, Hurd won't be back and this is Roy Williams' last year.

7th round (7a): RB Allen Bradford, USC

Our future goalline back.

7th round (7b): OLB Bruce Miller, UCF

More pass rushers are always needed in a 3-4. Brandon Williams and Victor Butler have disappointed.

Comments are very much appreciated.

I like it, but I really have no interest in Searcy, despite the Cowboys bringing him in.

 

[laythewood28]

I could live with that draft.

I'm really liking the idea of getting Watkins lately. I know he's real old, but I think he's a low risk, high reward guy.

 

[TheSport78]

Thanks for the comments. I do too, Gaede. I think if Dallas drafts Watkins, the Cowboys will consider cutting Leonard Davis, bringing him back at a lesser salary, and having him compete with Watkins for the RG spot. They'll probably re-sign Kosier to a 2 year deal as well. Free will obviously be re-signed also. I hope our opening day OL is this:

Free-Kosier-Gurode-Watkins-Smith

I like the mock quite a bit.

I'd go with it.

Love the post title. Is that the Triple H "I got two words two words for ya" or the Billy Gunn "I got two words for ya"??

7th round (7a): RB Allen Bradford, USC

Our future goalline back.

I would love to grab Bradford late but I could see him going higher. Some team will take a chance on a 5-11 242 pound runningback that runs a 4.5 (faster than Mark Ingram despite weighing 30 pounds more).

Haha you know it!

My mock (first three rounds):

Round 1: Tyron Smith OT
Round 2: Allen Bailey DE
Round 3: Curtis Brown CB

Three big needs solved.:starspin

 

[rash]

M*OCK IT...I can live with that :laugh2:

 

[funkytown]

I like the mock.. Especially the first 3 picks..

I like the Allen Bradford pick, but i think he can be had in UDFA

I'm really liking the idea of getting Watkins lately. I know he's real old, but I think he's a low risk, high reward guy.

Date of birth: November 6, 1984 (age 26)

That's going to drive his stock down some for sure.

Two rookies on the OL is troubling to me.
