Kiper Mock 4.0 4/13/21

[Risen Star]

With only one of the top five quarterbacks still available, the Patriots jump five spots with the Cowboys, giving Dallas their 2022 first-round pick in return. The Cowboys don't need a quarterback, so they'd be thrilled to get an offer like this and move down only a few spots, because their biggest holes are on defense and they can get a good player at No. 15.

This would be the first time in the common draft era (since 1967) that five quarterbacks went in the top 10 picks. The quickest that five QBs were picked was in 1999, when five went in the top 12.

15. Dallas Cowboys - Jaycee Horn CB South Carolina

Dallas trades back five spots with New England, gains what would likely be a 2022 first-round pick and is able to plug a need at No. 15. The Cowboys' defense was dreadful last season, and they lost starting corner Chidobe Awuzie in free agency. They can pair Horn with 2020 second-round pick Trevon Diggs, who had a nice rookie season. The knock on Horn is that he had only two career interceptions, but that ball production should come in time.

44. Dallas Cowboys - Joe Tryon DE Washington

Tryon played linebacker, defensive end and defensive tackle at Washington, picking up eight sacks in 2019 before opting out of last season. At 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, he'd play end for the Cowboys, who have an under-the-radar hole behind DeMarcus Lawrence. Dallas could go offensive line here as well.

Would you guys rather have NEs 2022 1st or their 2021 2nd (46 overall)?

Dumb question.

Would you rather have a 1st this year or a 2nd last year?

 

[Risen Star]

What's interesting is despite Caleb Farley needing a back transplant Mel still has him going one pick after the Cowboys here to the Cardinals at 16.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I would absolutely take that.

 

[JBS]

Dumb question.

Would you rather have a 1st this year or a 2nd last year?

That's typically what the trade off is, you lose about a round in value for a future pick

 

[HungryLion]

I would be cool with this.

land Horn and an extra first next year?

that would be excellent

 

[Risen Star]

That's typically what the trade off is, you lose about a round in value for a future pick

Yeah and it's dumb.

In order to believe that you have to believe a 2nd round pick last year is the same value as a 1st rounder this year.

 

[JBS]

Yeah and it's dumb.

In order to believe that you have to believe a 2nd round pick last year is the same value as a 1st rounder this year.

Considering Dallas isn't contending for anything this year anyway, I would agree

Well, thanks for that, ya just made me blow coffee out of my nose this AM with the back transplant comment..

 

[Rayman70]

rather go BPA at 44 and it aint Tryon.

 

[Risen Star]

Ya know what the defense would have looked like with Jaycee Horn in it last year?

No different.

 

[Aven8]

I hate future picks, especially from NE. They went all in with FA and knowing Bill they will be really good.

 

[RamziD]

I’m down. Hope that happens.

 

[fivetwos]

I'd be shocked if BB took Fields at all, let alone deal a future first for him.

 

[Rayman70]

Ya know what the defense would have looked like with Jaycee Horn in it last year?

No different.

yup. Mainly because our d coord/front 7 stank and suck at football.Horn himself couldnt solve that puzzle lol. We need a rebuild there at D.

 

[Aven8]

Ya know what the defense would have looked like with Jaycee Horn in it last year?

No different.

That’s why I want their 2nd. Get a LB, DT, and Corner with those top 50 picks. No particular order. I would sign Breeland as well as insurance at corner too.

 

[jrumann59]

I know you cant enough picks but eventually you get to the point where you have so many picks and if you cant get trades done most of your draft is PS or cut.

 

[Risen Star]

If Melly Mel would have sent Barmore to the Cowboys at 15 now we're talking about really beginning to fix this defense.

A real DT and an extra first next year is nice.

Beware of having too many draft picks.
