1. New York Jets (Tennessee) - Fernando Mendoza QB Indiana *TRADE 1
2. Cleveland Browns (N.Y. Giants) - Dante Moore QB Oregon *TRADE 2
3. New York Giants (Cleveland) - Francis Mauigoa T Miami *TRADE 2
4. Tennessee Titans (N.Y. Jets) - Jordyn Tyson WR Arizona *TRADE 1
5. Las Vegas Raiders - Ty Simpson QB Alabama
6. New Orleans Saints - Arvell Reese LB Ohio St.
7. Washington (Red)skins - Rueben Bain Jr. EDGE Miami
8. Cincinnati Bengals - Keldrick Faulk EDGE Auburn
9. Arizona Cardinals - Caleb Downs S Ohio St.
10. Los Angeles Rams (Atlanta) - Spencer Fano T Utah
11. Miami Dolphins - Jermod McCoy CB Tennessee
12. Minnesota Vikings - Peter Woods DT Clemson

13. Dallas Cowboys - Jeremiyah Love RB Notre Dame
It's unlikely that Love will still be available at this pick come April, but we've seen teams pass on elite running backs because of positional value. I think Love is one of the three best players in the class and a RB prospect on par with Bijan Robinson or Saquon Barkley. Love would be a dream come true for the Cowboys, whose No. 1 running back (Javonte Williams) is set to be an unrestricted free agent. A true home run threat at 6-foot and 214 pounds, Love has ripped off touchdown runs of 98 and 94 yards in back-to-back seasons. His elite patience and burst are ideal for a zone rushing scheme, plus he has the all-around ability to boost the Cowboys' loaded passing attack.

14. Baltimore Ravens - David Bailey EDGE Texas Tech
15. Kansas City Chiefs - Kenyon Sadiq TE Oregon
16. Houston Texans - Olaivavega Ioane G Penn St.
17. Carolina Panthers - Makai Lemon WR USC
18. Detroit Lions - T.J. Parker EDGE Clemson
19. Pittsburgh Steelers - Carnell Tate WR Ohio St.
20. Cleveland Browns (Jacksonville) - Caleb Lomu T Utah
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Mansoor Delane CB LSU
22. Los Angeles Chargers - A'Mauri Washington DT Oregon
23. San Francisco 49ers - Kayden McDonald DT Ohio St.

24. Dallas Cowboys (Green Bay) - Damon Wilson II EDGE Missouri
A prized recruit in the transfer portal, Wilson arrived at Missouri after leaving Georgia. He has posted seven sacks and an interception this season while impressing with his first-step quickness and use of length at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds. Wilson reminds me of James Pearce Jr. in his athletic profile and is posting the stats to back up that comparison. Dallas could use a player like Wilson off the edge after trading away Micah Parsons and rebuilding the interior defensive line by trading for defensive tackles Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark.

25. Chicago Bears - Kadyn Proctor T Alabama
26. Buffalo Bills - Denzel Boston WR Washington
27. Seattle Seahawks - Brandon Cisse CB South Carolina
28. Tennessee Titans (Indy thru N.Y.J.) - Colton Hood CB Tennessee *TRADE 1
29. Philadelphia Eagles - Germie Bernard WR Alabama
30. New England Patriots - Chris Bell WR Louisville
31. Los Angeles Rams - CJ Allen LB Georgia
32. Denver Broncos - Anthony Hill Jr. LB Texas

 

[darthseinfeld]

Eh definitely not passing on Bailey for Love

 

[cowboyec]

that would be an excellent start to the draft in my opinion.
bama ot kadyn proctor would be tempting also but we need some georgia dawg on our defense.
jeremiyah love...thats an easy pick.
home-run explosiveness that our offense could use more of.

 

[Sydla]

In this scenario, assuming they do squat in FA, I'd probably go Bailey and then Proctor. Steele is done.

 

[DasTex]

Given the need for LB and the depth in the 1st couple rounds that is there - I can't see them passing on one in the 1st - since they won't have another pick until the 4th round.

Think they really need to find a way to go LB/S/DE in some combo with the first two picks

It is crazy how the lazy media keeps pushing the RB narrative. Meanwhile, our RBs are doing fine and even the RBs we ran out of town (Dowdle) are doing fine too. Defense, defense, defense and an OT, please.

Dallas has hit on Williams this year. Even if they re-signed him to a fair contract, that's way better than using a 1st on a RB. Rather overpay Williams than use the 13th overall on a RB.

My fear with Bailey is edge contain. Can he be at least average vs the run, or is he Robert Quinn out there? But understand his pass rush ability is very good.

Rather go Edge and then LB if no trade back. CJ Allen impressed me last year vs GT, so I wouldn't mind to root for him in the NFL.

 

[Landryhat73]

If it fell like this David Bailey and Sonny Styles would be my picks.

I agree in one sense about using a pick on a RB in this draft given our needs and lack of likely any movement in FA to fix some defensive problems.

But Williams and a long term deal scare me. They just do. If they do bring him back, I hope it's a very favorable deal in Dallas' favor.

I would hope for nothing longer than a 3-4 year deal-mainly to drop initial cap hit, with guaranteed money ending after year 2.

I like Love a lot, but just seems like a final touch pick. Not when your defense needs cheap talent to at least be average.

 

[Acceptablename]

Safety in a trade down with the GB pic

 

[cnuball21]

Horrific...why do the mockers want ys to draft a 1st round RB every year? Its like they want us to lose.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Given the need for LB and the depth in the 1st couple rounds that is there - I can't see them passing on one in the 1st - since they won't have another pick until the 4th round.

Exactly why it's unlikely we can afford to burn a 1st on RB.........

 

[Killerinstinct]

Are our 2 1's enough to trade up to 6?

Love is a final touch type of guy, if you are a team that has pieces in place but are looking for another explosive playmaker.

We ain't there yet. Although if they lose Pickens, I could see them becoming infatuated with Love thinking an explosive RB might compensate for the loss of Pickens.

 

[Risen Star]

Are our 2 1's enough to trade up to 6?

Going by the trade chart it is enough to get up to 4 with an overpay on our end.

The Jets 4th overall pick and their 4th round pick for our two 1s is a balanced trade on the chart.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I don’t think the Cowboys would see the value in drafting an RB in round 1. Especially, since we’ll still have J. Williams and it would be a RB by committee situation.

 

[DUO_CORE]

If I knew Love was going to have the longevity of D Henry, I'd be tempted. On the flip-side, what kind of second and 3rd contract will he command if he's as good for as long as Henry?

 

[cowboyec]

Horrific...why do the mockers want ys to draft a 1st round RB every year? Its like they want us to lose.

nobody thinks that.
its about the talent...not the position.
he is alot of things...horrific ain't one.
he won't be there when we go on the clock anyway.
but if he is....you turn in that card and move on to the next pick.

considering how our gm screwed up the parsons extension...the same can be said if bailey is as good as he is at texas tech.
