Yes, this is cheating and makes it a lot easier knowing where everyone went, but I sat down last night and went through how I would have picked (kept the trade up, even though I would have stayed where we were)
1. Tyler Booker - G - Alabama: On draft day, I was screaming to get Jalon Walker with this pick - however, call me a sucker, but Tyler Booker has sold himself to me. The more I learn about this kid, the more I like the pick. Is it sexy...nope, but I think he fits exactly with what they want right now.
2. Donovan Ezeiruaku - DE - BC: Hard to complain here or choose anyone else. I wrote before Day 2 started that if 4 certain players fell to you here, you pick them no matter what your board looks like. He was one of the 5. While DE probably wasn't the biggest need, he is too talented of a player to pass on. Now, lets say we did take Walker in the 1st, I'd likely take Will Johnson here.
3. Shavon Revel Jr. - CB - E Carolina: See above - you qualms about this pick. Fits a big need right now. Now in the scenario above, CB is taken so I would have looked at Kaleb Johnson here.
4. lol - yeah right, I'm sure we'll trade it again next year.
5. DJ Giddens - RB - K St: I think he fits more of a 3 down back than Blue...who I do like, but really thought with the coaching connection, he was for sure going to be the pick. In the secondary scenario - I'm taking Marcus Mbow, OT.
5. Jeffrey Bassa - LB - Oregon: I thought he was the better plug and play choice here. Good against run, good in coverage. Fit what Dallas needed. Secondary scenario - taking him here as well.
6. Ajani Cornelius - OT - Oregon: I'm good with him - can player G or T it appears. Was ranked as a 4th rounder. Can step in for Steele after next year. In the secondary scenario - Quinn Ewers, QB.
7. Jay Toia - DT - UCLA - huge player, huge need. Hopefully he can be exactly what Dallas has lacked at DT. Secondary scenario - same pick.
7. Connor Colby - G - Iowa: G depth with potential to start down the line. Secondary scenario - same player
1. Tyler Booker - G - Alabama
2. Donovan Ezeiruaku - DE - BC
3. Shavon Revel Jr. - CB - E Carolina
5. DJ Giddens - RB - K St
5. Jeffrey Bassa - LB - Oregon
6. Ajani Cornelius - OT - Oregon
7. Jay Toia - DT - UCLA
7. Connor Colby - G - Iowa
Other Scenario - where I pass on Booker in the 1st
1. Jalon Walker - DE/LB - Georgia
2. Will Johnson - CB - Michigan
3. Kaleb Johnson - RB - Iowa
5. Marcus Mbow - OT - Purdue
5. Jeffrey Bassa - LB - Oregon
6. Quinn Ewers, QB - Texas
7. Jay Toia - DT - UCLA
7. Connor Colby - G - Iowa
It's really hard to argue against the 1st 3 picks - especially round 2/3.
