Kiper's 'A' Draft for Cowboys

[TheCount]

I'd take that all day, and I'm not even a big Sutton fan.

 

[Woods]

Dallas Cowboys

Top needs: DE, DT, S, G, WR

Round 1 (16) DT Aaron Donald, Pittsburgh
Round 2 (47) G Xavier Su'a-Filo, UCLA
Round 3 (78) DT Will Sutton, Arizona St.

Analysis: I don't think Dallas can do enough to upgrade along the defensive line. Donald getting past the Bears at No. 14 is a surprise, and I draft him here with the belief that he can come in and start right away. He was the most disruptive defensive player in college football last year. Brent Urban is a tempting player at No. 47, but Su'a-Filo, who can start as a rookie at guard, a position of need, is the pick. In Round 3, I'm going back to the defensive line. Before his senior season, I wouldn't have thought Sutton could fall this far, but he didn't look as explosive in 2013 and lost some ground. Given that the anchor of the interior defensive line is Henry Melton, who's coming off knee injury rehab, adding depth and upside has to be a priority.

It's good. But I think I'd replace Sutton with a LB in the 3rd and try and take Reid at DT in the 4th (hopefully).

I don't think Donald makes it to 16 at this point nor do I think Su'a-Filo will be there at 47. Also Sutton projects as a 3tech as well I really don't see the Cowboys drafting Donald in the 1st and Sutton in the 3rd.. I think it will probably be one or the other especially considering they just signed Melton.. Using all those resources on 3 guys when only 1 can be on the field at a time for most of the game seems unlikely.

Would love if it went down like this

 

[cowboy_ron]

SOLD!!!

 

[Gaede]

That is almost ideal. But with Sutton (whom I really like), we'd have three 3T on the roster.

Ideally, we would get a pass rusher at DE somewhere in the first 3 rounds in addition to Donald.

They need a DE there in the worst way. I don't know if there was much available though.

 

[visionary]

No, we have no one at DE, esp WDE

give me:

1. Donald, DT
2. Ealy, DE
3. Thomas, OG
4. Reid, DT

I would jump all over those selections.

 

[ThreeandOut]

I think Sutton could also play the 1 technique in this defense and would probably challenge to start.

if we get Donald and Su'a-Filo, I will cry (tears of joy)....I doubt if he falls past the first round.

 

[DTown214]

Sounds pretty good but I would take a DE before we take any O-linemen, even if the value isn't equal. But knowing Jerry and his inability to draft, I'd take this any day.

 

[Machete]

No, we have no one at DE, esp WDE

give me:

1. Donald, DT
2. Ealy, DE
3. Thomas, OG
4. Reid, DT

Ealy won't make it to the 2nd round.

I would donate to Kipers favorite charity if this was our first 3 picks

 

[guag]

I really like this. I'm all about solidifying the trenches with our first day picks. A few OL here, and few DL there, and we'll probably have one of the youngest and upsidiest (yeah, I just made that up, wanna fight about it?) groups of O and D linemen in the league.

I might even go ahead and trade up to just before the Bears pick to ensure that we'll get Donald (if he even lasts that far).

 

[visionary]

Ealy won't make it to the 2nd round.

i agree but Kiper has him going to a team later than #47, so in this draft scenario, i would take him

 

[cmoney23]

Kiper has Kony Ealy going in the 3RD in this deal. I'd be angry if we passed on Ealy in the second and probably jump off a bridge if we didn't get him in the third. IMO he's the best DE in this draft.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

A+

 

[arglebargle]

One injury to a Cowboys' DT and this draft would look like genius. Though I'd probably go DE as well. Because one injury to DE means....uncharted territory.

All 32 teams can be found in the link. Let me know if you want any of the teams picks.

How can the #1 or #2 rated OG be availabe at #47?
