My Draft Thoughts

[big dog cowboy]

I was going to give you a like but you seem to be getting a little needy.

 

[WillieBeamen]

I want JSN more than anybody in this draft

 

[Sydla]

I want JSN more than anybody in this draft

WR at 26 makes no sense but if you are going to take one, he's the guy.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Lol

 

[xwalker]

If you check the trade chart you'll be embarrassed.

Throw the trade chart out the window when you have the change to draft the greatest player in the history of sports.

They'll induct Bijan into the HoF at halftime of a 2023 preseason game.

Maybe they can also get Darnell Washington and have a co-induction ceremony.

 

[Sydla]

Lol

LOL

 

[Hardline]

Yikes! Not a fan of trading up unless it's just a couple of spots.

My cut off would be 18. The Chargers and Bucs are real threats to take him.

 

[xwalker]

I want JSN more than anybody in this draft

I want Jenna Coleman more than anybody in this draft, but to each his own...

You have to use absurdity to justify not taking him.

 

[Carson]

Always a pleasure reading this every year!

 

[Risen Star]

Same. Somehow the Cowboys generally luck out in the 1st. Dez and Lamb falling. Parsons with a trade back. So hopefully this comes to fruition.

And you’re right about Gibbs. Get this kid and we don’t have to worry about drafting another WR this year. He’s instant dynamic offense. Can you even imagine a DC trying to stop TP and Gibbs? Lol

With Lamb and Cooks. That's headaches.

 

[Floatyworm]

I've learned over the years not to get devoted to any player as you just set yourself up for disappointment. I just want to see logic in the picks we make but I will feel a little bummed when we don't take Gibbs.

That dude is a nightmare to defend. Prescott could be doing his Prescott stuff and it won't matter because Gibbs just took a panic dump off pass 80 yards for a TD.

Tampa is said to like him alot...and wouldn't it be a Philly move to jump us from 30??? Can see both scenerios.

 

[Risen Star]

It would suck even worse if we pass on him and the Eagles get him at 30.

It depends on who drafts him. If Philly drafts Bijan at 10, he's a Hall of Famer. If we draft him at 26, it's a waste of a first-round pick.

 

[gimmesix]

There’s a chance Dan Quinn absolutely hates our draft but if you think about it the FA money was kinda used on defense to bring guys back + Gilmore.

He'll love it when we take Kancey with our first pick, then hate the rest of it because it will be all offense.

Mock
My real mock draft will occur each time the Cowboys are on the clock. I'm not naive enough to think I know who will be available at each pick. There are always surprises.

The rule is unless one of the major draft resources, Kiper, McShay, Brugler, Zierlein, etc., has the player in that general area or later, he is not available at the pick.

The other rule is no cornerbacks ... or anyone who has a cornerback in their ancestry.

The priority here? Win the 49ers game. Surround the QB with playmakers.

1(26) Jahmyr Gibbs RB Alabama
Weapons, weapons, weapons. The next Alvin Kamara, who can time share with whatever form of Pollard we get in 2023 and replace him in 2024. A dynamic game changer. A guy who can score from anywhere on the field as a rusher or receiver isn't worth the 26th pick? Spare me.

2(58) Tucker Kraft TE South Dakota St.
We missed out on the top tier TEs but get one of the best in the next tier. Kraft will give you the blocking of Ferguson with an upgrade of Schultz as a receiver. He's not Dalton Kincaid but he's got some burst as a down field threat.

3(90) Marvin Mims Jr. WR Oklahoma
Field stretching big play WR who can help in the return game while he waits for his opportunity. Has the clutch gene. You're on notice, Mr. Gallup.

4(129) Anthony Bradford G LSU
I have my doubts Bradford will be here but some project him to be. If he is he becomes one of the gems of Day 3. Any warts to his game can be addressed moving him inside where he's an early starter at LG and a roadgrading partner in crime for Tyler Smith.

5(169) Keondre Coburn DT Texas
For some reason he's being knocked for not being taller (he's listed at 6'2") but that only helps him win the leverage battle as a two down NT who moves better than you would think. Quinton Bohanna, we'll miss you.

6(212) Asim Richards T North Carolina
Ideal developmental swing tackle to push Josh Ball off of the roster. I think he goes a round higher than this.

7(244) Shaka Heyward LB Duke
Special teams ace with the tools and frame to develop as a defender.

Note to self: You nailed this. You should post it in a thread that's allowed to be read for the likes potential. Cooks now with Gibbs, Kraft and Mims gives the Cowboys significantly more ammo to win in January and you did it without forcing it. Every one of those players is worth the pick. You've also solidified the OL in front of them. Bring on the 49ers.

Thoughts
* The Cowboys will never do what I just did in the mock.

* Do not forget why we lost in the playoffs the last couple of years. BPA yes, but all ties should go to skill position talent around this QB.

* I just don't buy Darnell Washington as a TE. At least not at the top of the draft. Which is why he's not in my top 50. He's an ultra blocker who has to learn to be a receiver. I don't see the value in the first two rounds. This isn't 1985. I'd rather transition him to OT but he's a project either way.

* I didn't forget Bryan Bresee either. He's overrated. A 3rd round pick.

* The Cowboys have made just one trade in the first 3 rounds since 2015. Trader Jerry has long been dead. It's the rest of him that won't cooperate. (80 years, 6 months, 11 days)

* The absolute biggest realistic home run the Cowboys could hit is if Jaxon Smith-Njigba fell to 26. People are sleeping on how good he is simply because he was injured last year. I think he can be better than CeeDee Lamb. (Fist fights are scheduled thru DM. Use "Pennsylvania Hands Exchange" in the title)

* I really like Steve Avila. If the Cowboys do take him at 26 I'll feel the same about it as I did the selections of Travis Frederick and Tyler Smith. Love the player. I just wish they would have traded down a few spots first.

* With the Cowboys talking to Damone Clark about his college teammates it makes me think they are targeting BJ Ojulari to add to the front seven. No argument here. When you have Cox who would complain about getting a BJ?

* Hey, Cowboys? How about we just repeat what we do in the 1st round in the 2nd round as well? They have a higher hit rate in the 6th round the last 10 years than the 2nd. It's crazy.

* Best sporting event of the year and there isn't a close second.

Cowboys!

I wasn’t going to give you a like, but when I saw your choice of and comments on Jahmyr Gibbs, I just had to.

Exactly right. If that guy isn’t worth 26 then nobody is.

Cowboys!

I hope the Cowboys arent foolish enough to do that draft. Lets hope they understand that football is won in the trenches. Your first and 3rd round picks are a joke.

 

[Kwyn]

I like adding Avila and Gibbs. A wide receiver somewhat high is fine also.

Sure, I’d like to see a DT but I just don’t see a guy I want in the first two rounds.

Cowboys!

Nice point on JSN. If 2020 doesn’t happen the way it did, we don’t get anywhere near Micah Parsons.

Someone is primed to get a steal.

 

[fivetwos]

I like adding Avila and Gibbs. A wide receiver somewhat high is fine also.

Sure, I’d like to see a DT but I just don’t see a guy I want in the first two rounds.

I’d have to applaud Gibbs AND Avila.

Problem is they will most likely need to deal up from 58, and in order to be able to do that, they may need to deal back from 26. They will likely need two picks in the 30-40 range, and a little luck, to make that happen.

I just want a stud blocker. I don’t see guys like Avila, Torrence or Schmitz lasting until the end of the second round.
