and i was running Dallas draft (I know I know you'll say "I'm glad you're not running our draft"), I would be looking to trade back and take TE Fleener who looks like he could be another Witten. Then I also take someone like Lamichael James, Chris Rainey, or Ryan Broyles in the 4th-6th rounds. This adds a new dynamic and serious threat, or two, to the offense with speed, which is always hard to defend. It also adds speed and threat to our return game.
We could potentially get another 2nd, maybe 3rd or 4th, which I spend on a OG and probably someone like OLB Irvin who can rush the passer. Rest of the draft is DL, DB, and maybe another OL.
My mock would look something like this:
1st, Trade back to the 20s, add an extra 2nd and 6th, pick TE Coby Fleener
2nd, OG Kevin Zeitler
2nd, OLB Bruce Irwin
3rd, DE Jared Crick
4th, S Markelle Martin
4th, LB Tank Carder, although I'd be tempted to grab Lamichael James if he is still available in the 4th.
5th, DL Akiem Hicks
6th, WR/PR Chris Rainey, he is speed
7th, CB/PR Cliff Harris/Broyles
We get better and deeper on D (passrusher, D lineman, ILB depth, and secondary), we add kick return lethality and speed to our offense and we add a playmaker on offense where there wasn't before, #2 TE. New England showed the efficacy of having to hard-to-cover TEs. This is not to mention the fact that we lost our most productive WR this offseason and have no idea if his replacement will be good. Teams focus on defending Witten regularly and since Dez and Miles rarely play in the same game....another highly effective TE (and a healthy Demarco) would add a lot to our offense IMO.
