New Mock Draft

[Manwiththeplan]

Okay, first of all, I'm basing this on what I think we'll do in round 1, not what I want us to do. I'm cool with Barron, but again, he's not my first choice. I think we'll explore trading down, but I think no deal will blow us away since Tannehill, Richardson and anyone else worth moving up for will be long gone.

14.) Mark Barron, SS, Alabama
I'd rather go DL here, but everything is pointing to Barron. I do like his physical nature and his leadership, and the need is obvious, however I would take Fletcher Cox if he was available.
45.) *Trade Down*
With Peter Konz gone Dallas trades down to #73 in round 3 with Chicago and also picks up the #79 pick giving Dallas 3 third round picks.
73.) Billy Winn, DE, Boise State
I like him a bit more than Crick at this point. Both guys were quite productive as sophomores and juniors and then dropped off as seniors (Crick dropped off before the injury), but I like Winn's workout numbers better.
79.) Michael Egnew, TE, Missouri
Very few posters really want another TE, but imo we need a 4th option in the passing game ready to contribute immediately. Egnew has terrific size and pretty good speed, and while he may not be Gronk or Grahmn, he's likely a better reciever than Bennett already. If Ladarius Green is available, I'd take him, but I want to keep this mock realistic.
81.) Phillip Blake, C, Baylor
I really think the plan is to roll with the guards we have now and upgrade the center position via the draft. I thought about Ben Jones at 73, but the centers we have shown intrest in are Konz and Blake, so I chose Blake.
113.) Chris Rainey, RB/KR/PR, Florida
I really wanted to go CB here, but the chance to grab a dynamic return man was too much to pass up. Can also replace Felix Jones next year when his contract is up.
135.) Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma
Just like John Mofit last year, every Cowboys' mock draft seems to have him. I'm honestly not sure how much he can contribute this year, but I think he can be a very good slot reciever once his knee heals.
152.) Ron Brooks, CB, LSU
We definately need depth here, and I've neglacted it so far.
186.) Casey Keenum, QB, Houston
He can compete with McGee for the 3rd QB spot, if he shows any promise McGee is gone.
222.) Coty Sensabaugh, CB, Clemson
Hopefully he sticks, has decent size and good speed. Cousin of Gerald Sensabaugh

Hate it you just passed on some good players at 45.

Zeitler, Silatulo, and Brooks, a CB, or a OLB or DE will be there. top 50 players can play right away and trading out of 45 to add Winn and Egnew is not a smart move.

Winn is pretty good at pass rush but is bad vs the run, can't hold double teams and isn't a day one starter. Dallas has good depth at 3-4 DE they won't draft more depth at DE and pass on a starting day one OG.

That is a great idea drafting Broyles in case Rainey is a knucklehead. I would of liked to have seen Ben Jones vs Blake for Center but your point is valid cowboys seem to be sniffing around him. Seems like we differ on the true value of Barron, I think we will be looking for a replacement if we draft him. I hope I am wrong, from Alabama I would rather have Hightower and let the draft play out from there along with the additional draft picks we would acquire from trading down.

co-sign
if JJ tries to get cute in rd 2 i will throw something

You have to get an OLB somewhere, IMO. Probably the 2nd or 3rd round.

Philip Blake is better than Ben Jones, IMO.

i have read this several times and it may be true
how tough is this to project though?
i would think that jones played against better DLs in the SEC
