My Mock, Version 3.0

[marchetta]

it would suck if MIke Jenkins, McKelvin and Rogers-Cromartie are all gone before 22

but that's very possible

damnit

I love Wheeler though

Not only is it possible, but right now, it looks like it's probable. We may be in a situation where we'll be choosing between Cason and Porter at #22, which IMO is too high to pick either. Our best bet is hoping 1 of the 3 falls low enough for us to move up and grab him w/o it costing us an arm and a leg.

w/ the way Green Bay and New England are spreading teams out, a premium is going to be placed on getting corners, the well will be pretty dry when you start getting to the 4th and 5th round

I've already come to the realization that McKelvin is going to be long gone by the time our pick comes at 22, and am coming around to the fact that Cromartie will be gone too

 

[Bigdog]

I'm betting around 4.48.

If he runs a 4.48, I do not think that he will be there at 22. If he is, that will be great. I have read that his 40 time is around 4.55 but who knows. The things that intrigued me about him is that he has great instincts, can play both the run and pass well, intelligence and above all-has the desire to be the best. Reports indicate that he such a hard worker that he actually ran track for AZ to improve his speed. I place the desire to succeed as a top intangible when it comes to drafting a person. Just my 2 cents.

I'm assuming you're talking about Cason. Yeah, the only knock on him is his speed. I've read mocks where his speed is estimated at 4.45-4.58, so who the heck knows. If he runs a sub 4.5, and does well on his agility drills he may be gone also. This sucks if we're sitting there at #22 and we have Talib (who Drew believes lacks speed and quickness and will project better as a FS) and Porter who's not worth a 1st rd pick. Man that would really suck.

Marcus Monk WR Arkansas​

STRENGTHS
Marcus is one of the finest WR’s in this draft. He is a big, strong, powerful WR with excellent hands. He is one of the best blocking WR’s in this draft. Marcus is a total team player and a smart player. He runs great routes and is not afraid to go over the middle and make the big play. He does a good job adjusting to the ball when it’s in the air. He is a quality receiver that is way under the radar for a number of different reasons; one downside may be that he is another possession WR in this draft that has enormous talent and potential to impact the day after he is drafted.

NEEDS TO IMPROVE
There are reasons why Marcus is under the radar in this draft. Marcus is coming off a knee injury and I’m not sure if he will be able to work out at the combine. If he does work out, I suspect his numbers will not show his true athletic abilities. Marcus has also been on a team that features the run with two of the better RB’s in this draft on the same team.

TALENT BOARD ROUND 1
If Marcus had come out in the 2007 draft as a junior, he would have been considered one of the top receivers in that draft. In spite of being in an offense that featured its running game more than its passing game, Marcus still set receiving records by his junior year. I saw Marcus in his junior year as a complete WR with enough speed to go deep and the quickness and intellengence to separate because of the precise routes he runs. I’m not going to downgrade this kid because he had a knee injury, stayed for his senior year and was in a run-oriented offense. Others will, and believe me, that will be a big mistake. Marcus is a very smart football player who understands situational football. He understands how to use his body to shield the CB and he can set up a CB with the best of them so that he can catch the deep ball. He is a big problem for those smaller DB’s to tackle after the catch. Marcus will fight for the ball when it’s in the air and a team looking for a #1 WR in this draft would be very smart to focus on Marcus even if he is not all the way back from his knee injury. I’m going to call him Marcus (Knee Jerk) Monk because ever since he injured his knee there has been a knee jerk reaction that this kid is no longer a good WR, which I think is ridiculous. Out of all the WR’s in this class, Marcus just might be the most complete. I’m not going to try and tell you where Marcus is going to be picked in this draft, but I will tell you that he is a sleeper and he has first round talent. The team that drafts him is going to get themselves a hell of a WR and teammate to build their passing game around.

Alabama WR DJ Hall?

idk where your list is

I think the 2nd round would be a great place to draft a WR, Lavelle Hawkins is looking mighty tempting

 

[DaBoys4Life]

i think that guy is very high on Ray Rice with that said i want to know if he has said anything about Tavarees gooden, Donnie Avery and Chris Johnson maybe you should make a thread top 50 college player bio or something along the lines of that.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

The fumbling and blitz pickups would be huge detractors for Chris, even for me whose a big fan of him.

If he can improve on those (And I believe he could) I think he'd be a nice addition to a team.

 

[TheCount]

Hey marchetta, can you get one on Jamaal Charles (RB) for me? Thanks again.

Hey marchetta, can you get one on Jamaal Charles (RB) for me? Thanks again.

They're still trickling in. He doesn't analyze every player in the draft, but if he does Jamaal's I'll post it. Personally, from the little I've seen of him, I just don't think he's anything special. My main question is if he even projects to RB in the NFL. I think he and Slaton are going to consider Slot-WR projects by several teams. But I digress. I haven't seen enough of the kid to give a fair analysis of him, so hopefully Drew, or others, will. JMO.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

He's nothing anymore special, from what I've seen, then Cedric Benson was and we've all seen how well he translated to the pros.

Markus Monk...any relation to Art Monk?

3rd round. Owen Schmitt, FB, West Virginia, 6'2", 247. You can't budge me from thinking this guy is a perfect fit in Dallas. I am moving him up a round because I think he is a potential vital piece of a powerful offensive puzzle. Schmitt has two stats that just jump off the page at you. 106 knockdowns and 17 TD blocks. That means 106 times the guy he was blocking hit the ground and 17 times he sprung someone for a TD score. Those stats are unreal for an Offensive Lineman much less a FB. This guy plays with attitude and passion. Our offense needs some of that. Combine him with Barber and we have the meanest RB duo in the NFL. I don't think I have ever seen a more ferocious blocking FB in my life. He has broken 10 facemasks on his own helmets in his college career. That means this guy leaves it on the field every play.

Man, I really liked the way that guy played, strong and physical. I live in Virginia and got to see alot of WVU's games and he is solid.

I went to VirginiaTech and I, of course, would love to see the Cowboys pick up one of their top guys (CB Flowers, LB Adibi or Hall).

Did you happen to catch him in high school? He's from Fairfax. I wish I had known about him then...but then again, he might have been a late bloomer.

Unfortunately no. If I remember correctly he was a late bloomer that not many thought too much of when he came out of high school.

I really enjoyed watching him play at WVU. 3rd or 4th and short downs, he is automatic. He has what I think some Cowboys are missing, heart. He just plays the game, not too flashy and doesn't do stupid things to attract attention. He is like Witten if you know what I am saying.

Good draft, Hostile. But where's the NT? We need a true NT. I don't know if Fergy has much left, and Tank hasn't exactly proven himself.

There's not one I like in this Draft tyke that I think would be available to us. I'd make it a 2009 focus and stick with Fergy, Ratliff, and Tank for 2008.

Not even if in the third round (is that a blasphemous suggestion)?

Haynesworth!

I only like a couple of the NT prospects this year and I expect both to go high in the 1st. I'd be content to use what we already have on board.
