My Draft Thoughts

[Proof]

I want JSN more than anybody in this draft

how come? I'm not disagreeing, I just love to hear why guys are passionate about a player.

 

[Flamma]

If none of these guys are there, I'd trade back if there was a willing partner.

RB Robinson
WR Jaxon Smith
OT Skoronski
OT Johnson
OT Jones
OT Wright
DL Carter
DL Lukas Van Ness
DL Anderson
DL Wilson
DL Smith
DL Murphy
CB Witherspoon
CB Gonzalez
CB Porter

I really don't like any of the other players at 26. Maybe Gibbs if everyone else is not there.

Hes gonna be the next

Lol na jk. Even tho a lot of the same stuff thats being said about him pre-draft was said about Jettas


I do think he can be a better Keenan Allen and he has a higher ceiling in the slot than Ceedee because of his route-running and short area quickness

 

[Risen Star]

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.

Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave call him the best of that bunch.

What a terrible mock. Yikes

well damn.

If you are trading prime picks to go chase a TB in the first round, he probably wouldn't you within a 100 miles of his draft room either.

Longhorns finally have a player worth a 1st rounder

 

[Pass2Run]

It's good to see you adding something to the board other than feeding the gullible cheap snark....

I generally agree with you on thinking Gibbs or someone along those lines may be the pick, or profiling your picks to beat San Fran.

Say he is gone, and I think you add a player like Flowers. Seeing Turpin get hit on the last play is all you need to see for the reason they don't play him, because he'll get clobbered out there, and end up hurt.

 

[Pass2Run]

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.

I'm leaning that way for the likely pick, too. But you just never know. Come draft day, some team may have him high on their board. He'd be a great player on this team, and fits what they want to do, and they know it. They know teams will also be coming after Pollard's legs.. which sucks. Pollard is a good dude.

Also, if you can get JSN, you snag him. He could do some damage on almost any team. A Cooks type is his floor, but he has top 10 ability, but I think Flowers and Johnston do, too. Addison, well, I'd say, prove it to me. I'd be willing to give him a shot, just not in the first.

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 think this is a solid mock. I have a feeling that the Cowboys may end up with an OL or DL in the first or second round. I don’t think that the team will pass on Gibbs if he is available (unless they really like someone else who falls) but if that’s the case the Cowboys may take an OL or DL in the second round.

LOVE the Mims pick. I hope he is a Cowboy. Would be great value for us at that position.

 

[TNCowboy]

I look forward to this thread almost as much as Kiper. It’s like Joel Buchsbaum with forearms.

Alright, wake them up! It's Selection Day!!
