Norris' Mock Draft
Round 1 (4): EDGE Joey Bosa, Ohio State - Please read this. I know reports stated the Cowboys do not have Bosa ranked as highly as other prospects. I could talk myself into Jalen Ramsey, DeForest Buckner or Carson Wentz here. One of the three will be on the board if Laremy Tunsil is a top-three selection. Myles Jack is also a strong option, but the team could be wary of his 2015 knee injury. Basically what I’m saying is the reports can be true, and the team could still end up with Bosa as the pick here. Moving up for Jalen Ramsey or back for extra picks is obviously possible.
Round 2 (34): CB Eli Apple, Ohio State - Many project Apple as a first round selection, but he is likely one of the 10 to 15 fringe prospects in that area. Apple has the size that other Dallas outside corners possess, standing 6-foot-1 and 199-pounds. He might be at his best matching physical receivers.
Round 3 (67): WR Charone Peake, Clemson - Speaking of physical receivers, Peake might be the most powerful receiver after the catch in this draft. There are multiple occasions where Peake actually carries corners who are attempting to tackle him. He doesn’t play as big in contested situations, but that might just not be his game.
Round 4 (101): DL Sheldon Day, Notre Dame - Rod Marinelli coached Day during Senior Bowl week, and he best projects as an upfield gap shooter in obvious passing situations. The question is whether he can play in base situations.
Round 4 (135): RB Devontae Booker, Utah - After signing Alfred Morris the Cowboys likely will skip drafting a ball carrier in the top three rounds. Booker is coming off a meniscus injury and was 23 years old during his final collegiate season. Could that have played a factor in his great production?
Round 6 (189): QB Jacoby Brissett, NC State - Brissett could be selected a few rounds earlier than this. Paxton Lynch in round two, Kevin Hogan in the fourth round or Brandon Allen on day three. I want my backup quarterback to win inside of structure, and Brissett does that.
Round 6 (212): LB De'Vondre Campbell, Minnesota - Linebacker depth for a team that has dealt with linebacker injuries in the past.
Round 6 (216): TE David Morgan, UTSA - Mainly a blocking tight end, but he can offers some short to intermediate receiving skills.
Round 6 (217): EDGE Branden Jackson, Texas Tech - Jackson has upside compared to other late round edge rushers, and is at his best using his length to press tackles back.
