Well I said I was only going to post one mock draft and I guess I lied. People's stocks have gone up and down and on top of that it doesn't look like Carr is willing to take a paycut.
1st round Kevin Johnson CB Wake Forest. I really wanted to take Byron Jones as he has all the physical aspects you want in a CB but Johnson is simply better. He plays tighter man coverage, has better ball skills, and is very physical despite his skinny build. He is a feisty player and reminds me a lot of Orlando Scandrick. Dallas needs to draft this guy and cut Carr. I wouldn't even offer to bring him back at a pay cut. He could have done the deal before the draft so Dallas wouldn't have had to draft a corner. Besides Johnson is a plug and play player who would be an upgrade.
2nd round pick Grady Jarret DT Clemson. This guy plays with a nonstop motor and relentless spirit. I am actually a little worried that he won't be here. He is made for a 4-3 and doesn't fit well with the 3-4 scheme so that should stop about half the teams from drafting him too high. I think he would fit nicely next to Crawford and he did a good job stopping the run despite his smaller stature. He would be an upgrade at the 1 tech while still giving something in the pass rush.
3rd round pick Frank Clark DE Michigan. I was really hoping to get this guy in the 7th round but he had a massive rise on the draft board despite being kicked off the football team. He interviewed well and accepted responsibility for his actions. Now scouts are saying he won't make it out of the 4th round. He has the talent of a 1st rounder and is a much better player than some DEs that will have their names called much earlier. He is a shorter stalkier DE much like Greg Hardy. He could give some quality reps at the rotation this year and could take over next year if Hardy walks. This guy can play football and I am willing to take him in the 3rd.
4th round Best Available running back /Cameron Artis-Payne RB Auburn
This is a very deep running back class. I think there will be a running back that no one expected to be here but I will put Artis-Payne here as he is slated to go in the 4th round. He is a very good runner and displays good toughness, agility, and speed. A very complete runner although like most runners in this draft he doesn't posses great speed. I truly believe someone will be here that is better like TJ Yeldon, Buck Allen, or even Mike Davis but Payne can still get it done if all the better runners are gone.
5th round Gerod Holliman FS Louisville
Man this guy has got some serious ball skills. He actually tied a record at 14 ints in a year. If you want a ball hawk FS this guy is your guy. He also has some serious tackling issues and bombed out on the combine interviews. This is going to hurt his draft stock immensely. Based on his production you would think he would go much higher than this, but he won't. I say you pull the trigger in the 5th round but don't go any higher as he is a very risky pick. While he didn't get kicked off a football team like Clark did he is not very physical.
7th rounder Cory Grant RB Auburn
This guy has some serious speed. He ran a 4.28 40 on his pro day while being 5-9 and 201 lbs. This are the kind of players you take a shot at and see if you can get them to contribute. He is much faster and larger than Dunbar and simply lost his job to Artis-Payne. He is very healthy and could contribute to a RB by committee approach.
7th rounder Leslie Jordan WR BYU Ran a 4.44 on his pro day at 6-2. Very Raw and needs a lot of work but might be worth investing time in.
