Mock Draft

[Pessimist_cowboy]

1st Dion Jordan OLB ORE*
Perfect pass rusher , long arms , nice burst great motor

2nd kawaan Short NT Purdue*
This guy is a warren sapp clone might go in 1st round . Will be best NT in draft

3rd Margus Hunt DE Smu*
Physical freak 6"8 290 has amazing burst and strength ... High motor Steal

4th Rick Wagner OT Wisc*
Solid starter RT prospect develope

5th Stephan Taylor RB
Reminds me of ray rice / Alfred Morris good low center of gravity

6th ZeKe Motta S Notre dame *
Big hitter , high motor , next bill bates (ST)

7th Marc Anthony CB cal*
Solid size and speed a Cb who can tackle well

So, Jordan replaces Spencer, Short replaces Ratliff and Hunt replaces Spears? I like the quality of players you got. But I don't think that much emphasis will be placed on the front 7. We need more help on the O-Line and at Safety. There are some seriously talented players in those positions in the first 3 rounds that I am sure could be had when we are picking.

Need more OL help than that. Wagner is way too slow-footed for my taste.

1st Dion Jordan OLB ORE*
Very intriguing player. His upside is as high as anyone in this draft, IMO. His physical build makes him a little bit of a higher risk pick than some of the other OLBs.

2nd kawaan Short NT Purdue*
Based strictly on physical talent, he should be a 1st round pick; however, it has been widely reported that he has work-ethic issues.

3rd Margus Hunt DE Smu*
I see the upside, but he should have been a more dominant player throughout the season. I know he dominated in games like the one against Fresno State; however, that was against a true-freshman RT.

He is listed at 280. With him already being 26, I would be concerned about projecting him to gain weight.

4th Rick Wagner OT Wisc*
Probably a safe pick but with limited upside. He could probably come in and be the backup RT as a Rookie. I don't see him playing LT in the NFL.

I would be ok with this pick, but there are several mid to late round OTs with much higher upside that I would consider.

5th Stephan Taylor RB
Very good player, but probably gets picked in the 4th or late 3rd, IMO.

6th ZeKe Motta S Notre dame *
I have not really focused on Motta in the ND games that I've seen. I know he has been a good college player. Why is he rated this low? Is it a lack of speed issue?

7th Marc Anthony CB cal*
The Cowboys don't have a 7th but could probably trade around to get one. Size, speed and good tackler sounds like a good CB to develop.

Overall some good players; however, I would not be happy if Rick Wagner is the best and/or only OLineman selected.

Short would be a 3-4 DE not a NT. He does not hold blocks, he is a gap shooting DT at purdue. He is not a NT type of player. I would take him as a DE though.

Actually not really replace just provide competition and change/ upgrade at position . Go watch shorts tape it's very impressive this guy could be a warren sapp type player . Has amazing burst and never stops playing . I choose guys who all play very hard and have high motors . Even if we draft dion Jordan we still hold onto spencer for 1 year and franchise him .
