[patrickstillhere]

Trade the 18. overall pick for 1/27 and 2/26.

Round
1. Jesse Williams DT/NT, Alabama
2. Barret Jones, OG/OC, Alabama
2. Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee
3. Bacarri Rambo, FS, Georgia
5. Omoregie Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech
6. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon

Although I don't dislike any of those prospects, I doubt we go QB in the second round. I know we need to address QB at some point I just don't see us drafting one early this year.

 

[Oh_Canada]

I understand the rationale, but DLine has to be addressed in a big way. If Rat gets cut, all they may have going into next year is Hatch, Lissimore and Crawford.
For that reason, both safety and QB will probably take a backseat, though I like Rambo.

 

[Future]

Not a huge fan...I don't like going QB that early, and don't think Rambo will still be available in the 3rd or that Barner will be there in the 6th.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

At this point in the draft process, it would be a waste to take any QB early. In a month or two, that may change, but right now, none have showed the potential to be anything more than a below averege starter/solid back-up, including Geno Smith, the likely #1 pick.

As far as the rest of the mock goes, I think you are over rating Jesee Williams. IMO, I think he goes mid to late second at best. Too one dimensional and not enough size to make up for that. I see his celing being that of a Kelly Gregg, who was a very good NT for several years for the Ravens, but not a guy that made many plays over the years.

Barrett could go late first, but I see no reason for him to go ahead of other similarly rated prospects at his position (peter Konz-55, Stefan Wisniewki-48, Max Unger-49, Ryan Kalil-59). He may get over drafted like a few guys here and there, but he's not the prospect that either Pouncey twin was or Alex Mack or Nick Mangold. If we traded up a bit I wouldn't be upset, but it's likely not necessary.
Rambo won't

Trade the 18. overall pick for 1/27 and 2/26.
Trade 2/17 and 4/17 for 2/11.

Round
1. Jesse Williams DT/NT, Alabama
Overrated player, IMO. I think that there will be multiple better options at the end of the 1st round.

2. Barret Jones, OG/OC, Alabama
Good.

2. Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee
The Cowboys can drastically improve their current QB by drastically improving the OL / Running Game.

3. Bacarri Rambo, FS, Georgia
Probably not a Garrett type of player (failed a drug test).

5. Omoregie Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech
I like this player. He could end up getting picked earlier.

6. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon
I don't see any possibility that this player is available in the 6th round.

No love for small schools this year? I like all the players. Just not sure I like us drafting them.

Trade the 18. overall pick for 1/27 and 2/26.
Trade 2/17 and 4/17 for 2/11.

Round
1. Jesse Williams DT/NT, Alabama
2. Barret Jones, OG/OC, Alabama
2. Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee
3. Bacarri Rambo, FS, Georgia
5. Omoregie Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech
6. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon

I know we desperately need a NT, but I think we can do better than Jesse Williams in the 1st round. I hope we sign NT Terrance Knighton from Jacksonville in FA, and go O-Line in the first. Wither Chance Warmack or Jonathon Cooper. I do hope we trade back though and pick up another 2nd. Hopefully a team bites.

Other than that, I love the mock. It almost seems too good to be true though, so probably won't happen.

I've been a Tyler Bray to Dallas advocate for a while now. He's my first choice, other than Geno Smith, because I really think that with 2-3 years of development behind Romo, he could be special. He's a little immature, sure, but hes only 20. He certainly has the talent, just needs some tutelage and refinement in mechanics/footwork.

I really hope we get Rambo too. He'd be a steal in the 3rd and we desperately need Safety help.

But, with all that said, I'm sure we'll end up drafting a bunch of smaller name guys cause they have higher character. It's more JG's style.

Jesse Williams much overrated.

I concentrated mainly on DL and OL. and selected players based on where they now stand in the rankings and where we will be drafting

1. Alex Okafor--whether Spencer stays or not

2. Dallas Thomas

3. Khalid Holmes

4. Brandon Williams--NT/DT small school with great stats

5. Dennis Johnson--Ark. can be a tough runner and good receiver out of backfield plus KR.

6. Open-maybe Terron Armstead OT, Quanterus Smith injured DE/OLB or others, even a QB. Just whatever available is best for team.

Numbers 2 through 6 would be excellent! Okafor at #18 would be terrible, IMO. In college he was able to use power to be effective; however, his speed/quickness is far below most of the other OLB prospects.

Change Okafor to Dion Jordon or Jonathan Cooper and you have an super-excellent draft.
