McShay Mock 4.0 4/1/21

[Risen Star]

1. Lawrence
2. Wilson
3. Jones
4. Pitts
5. Chase
6. Smith
7. Lance (Carolina trade)
8. Waddle (Detroit trade)
9. Surtain

10. Dallas - Jaycee Horn CB South Carolina

Jourdan Lewis is back in Dallas, but the Cowboys still want to upgrade the cornerback position opposite Trevon Diggs. Perhaps it's Virginia Tech's Caleb Farley, though his back procedure might cause concern. Instead, I'm tabbing Horn, a speedy and versatile press corner. The Cowboys gave up 34 passing touchdowns last season, so expect them to address that area here -- unless they opt to help protect the $160 million man, QB Dak Prescott, with one of the class's top tackles.

 

[John813]

Rather take Sewell.

 

[Bowdown27]

I’m really curious how this draft plays out. Some have Pitts at 4 or a qb. Some have parsons at 7 or falling to 15. This year will be fun to see how things play out.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

If Sewell is still on the board at 10, I am sure the Cowboys would get numerous offers for trade and could get Horn later.

I would take Sewell if the trade offers were not that good.

 

[Stash]

Rather take Sewell.

I agree. I’d take the top offensive tackle vs the second or third cornerback if it came down to it.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

Remember when everybody on this board wanted us to lose out so we could take Sewell and now he's on the board and we don't take him....

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Rather take Sewell.

I wouldn't, but I see why you would.

I really have only two concerns about this draft, as a Cowboys fan:

1. That Jerry will trade up by giving up their 3rd round pick or multiple lower picks.
2. That after quarterbacks there is a run on cornerbacks and Surtain and Horn both go in the first 9.

Other than that while he is certainly capable of doing it, I can't see Dallas really screwing up this draft, just too many good players available and too many positions of need on the Cowboys. Just going by any of the "experts" rankings they could better this team....

Good point.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Hmm, I don't see that there's a big difference in the top 3 cornerbacks, skill-wise, number 3 would be that for a reason, but they all have deficiencies, none of them is perfect...

Isn't it every year? Nobody had CeeDee falling as far as he did. One of these top 3 WR will probably slip out of the top 15 that they've all been predicted as going.

 

[Hardline]

Nightmare scenario.
Unless we trade down.
I'm taking Sewell if I dont get any knock my socks off trade down offers.

 

[fivetwos]

This scenario ought to provide SEVERAL trade down options...or you take Sewell yourself.

 

[Zekeats]

Thats Mac Jones correct?

 

[UncleOscar]

So we'll be sitting there at 10 with Fields still available in a QB needy league? No possible way no team wants to trade up a few slots and get Fields and give us an additional 2nd? Maybe the Vikings at 14 or Pats at 15?
I'd make that trade and keep Fields away from the Eagles at 12.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Remember when everybody on this board wanted us to lose out so we could take Sewell and now he's on the board and we don't take him....

Well, no everybody didn't want to lose out, as I recall it was pretty evenly split between losing out and trying to win what they could. Maybe one view more than the other, but hardly a huge difference...

 

[Stash]

Hmm, I don't see that there's a big difference in the top 3 cornerbacks, skill-wise, number 3 would be that for a reason, but they all have deficiencies, none of them is perfect...

Agreed, but for me, Surtain is the one worthy of me taking at #10. The one with the fewest question marks. I’d take him at 10 over Sewell.

[morasp]

That could happen.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Texan fans have to be sick looking at the draft this year and what could have been.

I think Waddle goes before Smith.

Panthers and Lions are in no-mans land. So close, yet so far.

I don’t think Sewell will be there at 10.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Agreed, but for me, Surtain is the one worthy of me taking at #10. The one with the fewest question marks. I’d take him at 10 over Sewell.

If available, Surtain is my pick, no question about it...
