Post Combine FA / Mock

[Sully]

Based off of PFF Mock Draft Machine and tried to keep it somewhat realistic based on who Cowboys have met with and / or their type of players. Leaning a little more towards what I think Cowboys would do as opposed to what I'd do - but still like the results.

FA Signings:

WR: OBJ (WR2)
OL: Jason Peters (swing OT / OG)
DT: Jon Hankins and Carlos Watkins

Draft Picks:

1: Zay Flowers - WR (Will rotate in / out with MG as WR3 and give you gadget plays, kick return ability and be long term solution as WR 2/3)
2. Daiyan Henley - LB (Will take over Barr's role from last year as WILL LBr - + athlete with great coverage ability. Will not have to come off the field)
3. Luke Schoonmaker - TE (add a + athlete to the TE room to build off of with Ferg / Hendershot)
4. Izzy Abanikanda - RB (Bigger bodied RB that is a smooth, fast and productive. Will need to improve pass pro to become a 3 down backer but potential RB of the future)
5. Cam Young - NT (Long armed NT who won't give us much against the pass but developmental run plugger)
5. Keaton Mitchell - RB (Undersized RB with legit homerun speed. Would be a great option to pair with Izzy for the future)
5. Jakorian Bennett - CB (Elite long speed but meodicre instincts - flyer pick on a high end athlete hoping he can develop his eyes / instincts)

No OL at all????? With losing Connor McGovern, not only did Dallas lose a LG but alsp their back up center. Cowboys have more hopes than drafts picks and with them even rumoring to trade away drafts picks, I can see Jerry trading DOWN to get more. And with their 1st selection, in the 2nd round, OC/G Minnesota John Micheal Schmitz.

We have Diggs, just got Gilmore, have Bland on the rise, and Lewis is still on the roster. And Israel Mukamuma played decent when needed. Not even mentioning Joseph and Wright.

Need to draft a couple of WR, TE, RB, OL and DL.


Not even sure we should draft a CB unless a great player falls in our laps.
 

Gilmore is a 1yr bridge player, they need to start developing a future starter at the position. Lewis is either getting cut or will leave in fa next yr. Yes, we have immediate needs, but also have to think ahead. What happens if one of our corners goes down, right back in that same situation again.

Wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on a mid round / late guy but liked the players I picked that were available more.

Peters gives us backup flex at OT and G and Fiarnok would be 3rd strong G.

That is just it, there is NO starting OG... McGovern signed elsewhere. Peters/Fiarnok are backups. There is no backup at center if Biadasz goes down as he did last season. McGovern moved to center.

I think you’re forgetting about Tyron. He’ll play LT and Tyler will play LG.
