Mel Kipers perfect 3 round mock draft

[Qbert]

Dallas Cowboys

Round 1 (28): Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
Round 2 (60): Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA
Round 3 (92): Gerald Everett, TE, South Alabama

I expect the Cowboys to draft defense on Day 1, and defensive back is in play after Brandon Carr, Morris Claiborne and J.J. Wilcox departed in free agency. If Barnett is available at 28, though, Dallas has a chance to grab a pass-rusher who could put up double-digit sacks annually. Former second-round picks DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory combined for only two sacks last season, and Gregory is suspended for at least the 2017 season. Barnett was one of the most productive defenders in college football throughout his career (33 total sacks). Moreau tore a pectoral muscle at his pro day, but his workouts and 4.35 40 at the combine impressed scouts, so he won't drop far. Dallas could get starters with its first two picks. This tight end class is deep, and the Cowboys could bet on Everett as an eventual replacement for Jason Witten, though they have tried that in the past, including using second-round picks on Martellus Bennett and Gavin Escobar. Everett (6-foot-3, 239 pounds) is more of a pass-catcher than blocker.

Don't know much about Everett.

But Barnett and Moreau would be a nice 1-2 combination IMO.

 

[Setackin]

I'd take it

I know enough to know we should still be looking D in the the third

Barnett would be amazing.

Barnett would be amazing.

I don't see a TE in the third round either, but I'd take picks one and two all day.

Replace the TE with any of the Safeties that we like (one has got to fall a bit in a class this deep) and I'll drink to this draft

 

[Trouty]

 

[Dwight]

Don't like the second round pick because CB can be drafted in later rounds but I love the first round pick.

Barnett is my favorite DE.

Exactly. I'll take the draft also.

^^^^^^^^Right here^^^^^^!!

Then decide if we want a slot CB, TE, WR, RT, or LB in the 4th. Or even a Dashon Hall.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Draft Tabor in the 3rd instead of a TE. We have Rico

 

[MileyDancer]

Isn't Kiper more wrong than correct? Didn't he give our last draft a C?

 

[Zekeats]

Don't like the second round pick because CB can be drafted in later rounds but I love the first round pick.

Barnett is my favorite DE.

Mine too. Including Garrett

 

[Trouty]

This would be a fantastic signing, added to the two aforementioned (Barnett and Moreau/or D prospect), Irv. Think he'll still be around that long?

[CATCH17]

I don't understand why Cowboyszone is so against TE's.

We could definitely use another TE.

 

[viman96]

I want to see 2-3 DL and 2-3 DBs drafted. Mayne a LB.

 

[Alexander]

Was okay until Everett.

I think the DL will get a max of two, maybe even one.

One early and one late tops. Can't fill that meeting room too much.
