Mock 4.2

[LatinMind]

ROUND 1
Owamagbe Odighizuwa DE UCLA
He IMO would serve alot of purposes. Hardy is going to be out atleast a couple games. Odighizuwa can line up on the strong side keeping Lawrence on the right side, and when Hardy comes back Odighizuwa just adds another part to the passrush. He showed at his proday he could adapt to LB and Dallas could use him or Lawrence in that OTTO LBer spot. IMO Odighizuwa is the perfect guy for this defense at SDE. Very stout against the run and able to provide that passrush from the strong side. Lawrence would be a very good backup to Hardy on the weakside and OTTO spot IMO. And Mincey backing up Odighizuwa on the strong side.

ROUND 2
Michael Bennett DT Ohio State
Player who can play both tackle spots. Can rotate at the 3 with Crawford and can come in and play beside him on them downs when Dallas plays that 4 man rush they like so much. Gives Dallas that closing speed from its 3tech that Crawford doesnt seem to have to get them pursuit sacks.

ROUND 3
Eric Rowe DB Utah
Big strong CB that Dallas needs. Can play inside and the outside aswell as FS. Seems like Dallas has been drafting and signing guys who can play more than one spot, and can help this team in different ways.

ROUND 4
Bryce Petty QB Baylor
Think this is the yr Dallas invests in a QB that isnt a long shot at making the team, but somebody who can develop into at the minimum a decent backup. Needs alot of work but so did Romo coming out of college.

ROUND 5
Tyeler Davison DT Fresno State
DT who can come in and suprise alot of people. He's big and tough to block. Unlike most 1tech's he can get after the QB. Had 8.5 sacks in 2014 for Fresno. Dallas has been scouting him this yr.

ROUND 7
Corey Robinson OT South Carolina
Mountain of a guy. Kinda reminds me of Parnell. HUGE and strong but more athletic than he should be at that size.

ROUND 7
Damian Swann CB Georgia
Tall CB but needs work, type of late round prospect Dallas seems to like. Big reward low risk type of guy. Plays the ball and isnt affraid to take on blocks.

It's hard for me to get behind a draft that would see McFadden as our #1 RB. Beyond that I just don't like DE in the first because I can't see a rookie coming in and unseating Mincey (a 6 sack DE) which would make him our 3rd DE before Hardy comes back, and 4th DE after Hardy comes back. We only have so many shots to draft a starter... I would rather do it in the first. Though I do like our 2nd - 5th picks... the first and lack of running back in one of the best drafts in recent memory for them just sort of ruins it for me.

 

[waving monkey]

yea, no RB doesn't make me feel secure I need my blanket to drag around

No RB . DE in the first wouldn't make sense at this point. When Hardy comes back in like you said 2 games, he will just be a rotational player behind Mincey and even D.Law. We like to draft starters with our 1st round pick. Which makes CB and RB most likely imo (Carr cut 6/1).

Drafting OO would send a wrong message to Hardy and may provoke him to sign elsewhere next year. On the other side of the green, we draft OO to start full time next year instead of sending all the $$$ to Hardy.

I just dont see all the excitement over Mincey. He's a backup who had a decent yr. People complain about this passrush so much but want to keep the incumbent as a starter in 2015. Makes no sense to cry about the passrush but want said player to start. All of the DEs who were on the team last yr were bad. Every single one of them. Mincey and Lawrence had good playoff runs, but i dare any of you to go back and watch them games and count how long the QB had the ball. CBs played really good when going to man, and them QBs had nobody to throw to at the end of the yr. Coverage sacks are a product of good coverage rather than good passrush.

I dont think Gurley or Gordon will be there to draft. And i dont think after that there is a RB who is better than McFadden. People have to remember who he played for, the guy is a talent. I dont think Dallas is going to part with Randle either. I think you will see McFadden and Randle and Williams share the load. I can deal with that. That and this OL a year older together. Expect some very good things.

no RB =fail

Right he's a backup who had a decent year... but you would never get 6 sacks from a rookie DE... it just won't happen. Lawerence was a rookie DE who had 2 sacks and a sack strip fumble... that isn't half bad for a rookie, and he came in with high expectations. There is no need to assume he won't be awesome this year. Hardy will add a lot to that defense as well. It is weird that you don't think Hardy improves this defense significantly, but you think McFadden improves this offense by a lot. McFadden wasn't even the best RB these past few years in Oakland... what makes you think he will be that good here? Sorry but no RB + DE in the first = bad draft.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Im reading that Rowe might go in the first.

 

[UncleOscar]

Plus Odighizuwa has that prior injury history and surgery on his hips. Pass on this guy.
And no running back in a RB rich draft when we have a huge RB need?
Doubt Rowe will last until the third.

 

[visionary]

I will take this draft right now

 

[tm1119]

Pretty good mock...except for Petty. I get that you're going by the fact that Cowboys are floating around the idea that they will draft a QB, but I'm not buying it. Plus I think Petty will get overdrafted before the 4th anyway. Replace Petty with a RB in the 4th and this would be really good

 

[DBOY3141]

good draft. even with Hardy, if DE is BPA at 27, take him. who knows what's going to happen with Hardy. I like Bennett, but I wonder if they will draft a DT, so I could see RB in the 2nd.

Rowe seems to be screaming up the boards, I wonder if we trade back from 27 to top of the 2nd, if we would take him?

 

[egn22]

Eric Rowe's stock is rising and its highly doubtful he will be avail to us in the 3rd round

 

[unionjack8]

like it but petty will get drafted in round 2, as i think will eric rowe but i like the 1st 2 picks immensley

 

[Future]

I doubt Rowe will be there in the third, and I'm not a big Petty fan at all, but I really like this draft.

It's not just about McFadden in Oakland, its the fact that he gets hurt by arm tackles. That's why I don't trust him.

This is not a bad mock by any means...somepeople just want what they want. Personally if its not Gordon or Gurley then i dont draft one? Talent wise we already have second tier rbs in RunDmc,Randle and Dunbar. I say get this defense stacked so if theres injury we have depth and dont have to get guys from the CFL or off the couch.
