If the draft fell this way who would you take rounds 1-7 and why

[bodi]

Why does it have us taking a centre in the 5th?

well it would not be a bad idea if he can also play OG and in case Fred gets hurt

I get that but if it was to play Fred at guard I'd rather we just draft a guard and leave him where he is. If it's insurance against injury then I think we have more pressing needs. Personally I would not be pleased if we use a pick on a centre

 

[TheCount]

Hope it doesn't fall that way.. Hope at least HaHa makes it to us but..

1: Mike Evans WR, TX A&M.. BPA at this point... Would ideally trade down in this situation.
2: Will Sutton DT, ASU.. Quick pass rushing DT.. Fits what Marinelli likes perfectly.
3: Daniel McCullers DT, Tenn... Finally get our big body in the middle.. Huge 1 Tech.. If Marinelli can coach him up could be a beast.
4: Seantrel Henderson OT, Miami.. Huge upside would be a steal in this round and Doug Free's eventual replacement.
5: Marion Grice RB, ASU.. Everydown back could fill in for Murray if injured.. much better than Randle
6: Colt Lyerla TE, Oregon.. Had some issues but in the 6th it is a risk that is worth taking.
7: Jonathan Dowling S, Western Kentucky.. High potential kid who had issues at florida and was dismissed after his freshman year
7: Nickoe Whitley S, Mississippi State..Physical Safety that plays hard and can hit.. could be a great ST player
7: Casey Pachall QB, TCU.. Because why not? lol.. has some potential

Wow... I think I might cry myself to sleep if this was our draft.

Is Sam projected in the first?

I don't really like him, he's more of a Greg Ellis than a D Ware, and I think you can find those guys later.

Really like that 2nd round pick though. A lot

Sam tied Aldon Smith's team record in sacks with a clutch strip-sack to win Missouri's bowl game.

Led the SEC (the SEC) in tackles for loss and sacks.

I think his workouts/combine will have him move into the late first. Don't forget, either -- all Greg Ellis did was make it near impossible to run to the right and tally 10+ sacks a year, seemingly every year while he was in Dallas...from the SDE spot. Greg Ellis doesn't get any respect around here!

I dont disagree that Sam is a real good player, but this team needs a speed rusher bad, as well as more push inside. I don't think he gives you either of those things...plus he's a redshirt senior, so he'll be like what, 23 when the draft rolls around (cant find his bday)

He doesn't need to give us speed rush. He's got the power to push the pocket and set the edge. We've got linebackers, corners, and safeties to give us blitzing pressure with great speed. What we need is a pocket push.

It's easier to get a pocket push in the 2nd round with a good DT than it is to get an elite speed rusher though.

And I know I only through it on as a tangent there in my last post, but the fact that he's a redshirt senior is always a red flag to me. These guys are simply older and more physically mature than a lot of their competition, they should put up some good numbers.

 

[Mrdude108]

1. Aaron Donald, DT Pitt
2. Gabe Jackson, OG Miss State
3. Aaron Lynch, DE South Florida
4. Josh Mauro, DE/DT Stanford
5. Kenny Ladler, FS Vandy
7. Keon Lyn, CB Illinois
7. Jeff Mathews, QB Cornell
7. Roderick McDowell, RB Clemson

Josh Mauro was in my class in high school, had no idea he was a DE or even a good NFL prospect.

 

[Oh_Canada]

I'm not sold on Hageman....he seems to get swallowed up a little too easily for a guy his size/power.

 

[JDSTAR]

Josh Mauro was in my class in high school, had no idea he was a DE or even a good NFL prospect.

Wow!! Was he at least a good guy?

 

[cowboys1981]

1- DE Kony Ealy
2- S Dion Bailey
3- RB D'Anthony Thomas
4- OG Tre Jackson
5- DT Calvin Barnett
7- LB Prince Shembo
7- DT Caraun Reid
7- QB Jeff Mathews

 

[ccb04]

1 Trent Murphy, DE, 6-6 #265 Stanford

2 Kelcy Quarles, DT, 6-3 #295 South Carolina

3 Yawin Smallwood, ILB, 6-2, #250 Connecticut

4 Kenny Ladler, FS. 6-1, #205 Vanderbilt

5 Kevin Norwood, WR, 6-2 #200 Alabama

7 Ryan Hewitt, FB, 6-4 #245 Stanford

7 Billy Turner, OT, 6-6 #314 North Dakota State

7 Dakota Dozier, OG, 6-4 #295 Furman

Like this. Actually posted a draft on another forum that had the first 4 picks the same, but it was a trade down scenario for an additional 3rd that had Murphy or Aaron Donald as potential options in round one. Quarles and Kareem Martin were possible options in round 2. The additional 3rd round pick was QB Jimmy Garropolo if available, and a couple of WR's if not (and if releasing Austin). The 4th round was potential options of Ladler, Terrence Brooks or Marqueston Huff at FS. In the 5th I had DT Ryan Carrethers or OL Wes Johnson from Vanderbilt.

Love the Smallwood pick. Was a big fan of his former teammate Sio Moore last year. Think he could play inside or outside, and had 3-year career totals of 332 tackles, 27 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, 16 passes defensed & 6 FF's.

 

[texbumthelife]

Round 1: Taylor Lewan OT Michigan
Round 2: Aaron Donald DT Pittsburgh
Round 3: Kyle Fuller CB Virgina Tech
Round 4: Aaron Murray QB Georgia
Round 5: Taylor Hart DE/DT Oregon
Round 7: Bennett Jackson CB Notre Dame
Round 7: Ben Gardner DE Stanford

In fact, this would pretty much be a dream draft for me. Addresses every single area of need and adds depth and versatility on the DL with a couple guys who can play inside and out.

 

[Mrdude108]

Oh yeah, he was a great guy. He was nice and everyone liked him. He was tall and thin so I was surprised he was a DE but that was in 2009 lol

 

[Macnalty]

1. Rashede Hageman DT Minnesota......reminds me of Mohammed Wilkerson a lot......kinda hard to pass on Mike Evans though, the guy is a beast. Reminds me of a young David Boston but my pick is still Hageman.
He is a physical freak, but has a lot of question marks about production and effort.

2. Aaron Donald DT/DE Pittsburgh......I know, before you all say no way do you go back to back DT I say you have to. Donald is a straight up beast who I would play at DE on 1st and 2nd downs and move inside on 3rd and passing downs.
I don't see him making it to the Cowboys pick.

3. DeAnthony Thomas RB Oregon.....well he went 1 pick before the 4th round but I would think about taking him in the second let alone get him in the 3rd is a steal. SPEED!!!!!!!! Romo has another toy. 2nd option was Daniel McCullers DT huge runstopper who would be a ballsy 3rd straight defensive tackle that would solidify the inside of the line for years to come but I love Thomas and his speed.
Many draft analysts have DAT going lower. He has super speed but is tiny at about 170 lbs.

McCullers is one of the largest humans that you'll see, but he is not a Marinelli type DT. He should be a 3-4 NT.

4. Seantrel Henderson OT Miami.....Free is getting a little older and this guy is HUGE. 6'8" 350!!!!! and he can move pretty well for a guy his size. I believe he will push to start year one and might even fill in at guard if needed. Aaron Murray is an option here but I think there are too many needs to go playing on a wishing QB pick.
Another extremely large human, but he also has very good athleticism. He is a huge risk because he's never had a year in college without some type of incident.

I would be ok with him in the 4th due to the very high upside.

5. Jay Prosch FB Auburn......A TRUE dominating runblocking fullback would do this offense wonders. I would love to get this guy.
Meh on FB this early. Due to the lack of demand, he could easily fall to the 7th.

Trey Millard will likely be a UDFA due to injury but has some versatility. He is a very good receiver and at 6-2, 260+ could be used in as a TE in some situations.

7a. Jeff Mathews QB Cornell....here is your QB to groom.
OK.

7b. Dakota Dozier OG/OT Furman.....Very quick feet, gets to the second level, undersized, project.
OK.

7c. Zack Kerr DT Delaware.....from Delaware so you know he's a project but a talented one at that.
OK.

Almost forgot about good ole Trey Millard, now that is a player. I hope we can snag him UDFA after that nasty knee injury.

 

[Oh_Canada]

If it fell this way:

1.Trent Murphy, DE-would prefer to drop down a bit and still get him, but I know what I'm getting with him and it's pretty darn good.

2.Aaron Donald, DT-Yikes, Murphy AND Donald in the first two round, suddenly the pass rush looks A LOT better.

3. Carl Bradford, OLB-This guy plays flat out angry and I want more angry players playing with a star on their helmet.

4. Caraun Reid, DT-Dallas sends waves of pass rushers for a change.

5. Bryan Stork, C-Can play guard or center.

7a.James Wilder Jr-Tough runner, big enough to carry load.

7b.Cody Latimer Wr-Could be a steal at this point. Passionate player and physical, like the rest of the draft.
