no way they dont take a WR within the first 3 picks.
and I dont think they take a CB.
Love Hernandez,Phillips,Leonard and Jewell.

 

[Kaiser]

If Hernandez really is rated as the 4th best OG by most I think we could still get him after trading down from 19.

I like Leonard but in the 4th rather than the 3rd and I think Jewell will be long gone by 137.

I have a personal theory on that.

I think if none of Wynn, Hernandez, Daniels, or Price are taken by pick #19, and Vea is gone, I think we'd be open for business to move down from pick #19.

 

[morasp]

I really like Jewell but concerned about possible physical limitations. I like Hernandez but I don't think they have him on the 30 visit list. Leonard would be a good value he was one of the thirty visitors and Lee most like will miss a few games.

Guards (and LBs) typically drop in the draft, I think its likely all four are still on the board at 19. If they could trade down from 19 to 25 or so and still get the player they wanted, I think they kind of have to do it and pick up an extra 3rd round pick.

The interesting question is Vea like you say, if they think he really is a Suh-type of dominant DT they should take him at 19 and not look back.

Leonard won't last until the 4th, imo.

 

[Kaiser]

Leonard won't last until the 4th, imo.

That is definitely the most likely scenario but A) LBs usually drop and B) this is deep draft for LBs and some teams may have other players higher on their boards.

I'm not banking on it but there is decent chance it happens.

I agree. I’d be fine with substituting a Miller in 2 and Poona Ford in the later rounds

True. There are lot of lbs I like in the draft but my my top two are Edmunds and RSmith who will be long gone by the time we pick.

 

[Terrancemcclain]

I'd prefer Tim settle over Harrison Philips but good mock draft overall

 

[Stash]

I would too, but Settle was gone.

 

[charron]

Thats alot of linebackers. 2 should be enough in 1 year.

 

[Jake0]

Think you could do better than Armani Watts in the 4th personally.

The green I like, the red I don't, the black I haven't investigated enough to comment. But the bottom line is if you swapped out Armani Watts for a safety I like more then I'd be really happy with this draft.

I appreciate the feedback. What is is that you don't like about Watts?

As for Nickerson, I recommend you check him out. I think he's go abilities and traits that Kris Richard will appreciate and feel that he can develop, even if cornerback isn't a huge need right now.

I see 3 day 1 starters and some nice role/depth players. I like it. Nothing flashy,but sound picks.

 

[Rayman70]

I have a personal theory on that.

I think if none of Wynn, Hernandez, Daniels, or Price are taken by pick #19, and Vea is gone, I think we'd be open for business to move down from pick #19.

If ever we wanted to trade down,this would be the draft to do it. I think we are open for business big time to move back. The depth at receiver and dline and other positions make this likely.

 

[Rayman70]

I see no good reason to give away picks to go up. Even Derwin James..I wouldn't do it. I think Ronnie Harrison at 50 would be just as good. Even later we could draft Kazir White..and still be fine. I been hearing all the chatter from DC.com by Broaddus and Helman about moving up for James. I hate it. It would be stupid.I think he would be there at 19 if we see a run on QB and oline in the top10. We gonna find out just how disciplined we are come Thursday night. Is it a new day in Dallas or will it be more knee jerk reaction and over reaction?

I agree. The cost of moving up is just too great. I can see teams doing it for a quarterback if they're desperate, but I don't see any player where it makes sense for the Cowboys to do it.

Talk like that makes me glad that I've been avoiding the Draft Show.
