The Athletic's 1st mock ( week 5)

[Smith22]

Do you think they go corner though? They have Bland and seem to be high on Revel, its not a foregone conclusion that Diggs leaves (although it is probably 50%). To me, the Safety position needs to be addressed, although the cowboys never seem to prioritize it. A late first on a safety would seem reasonable though.

Safety makes sense as well, but as an organization, they don't have a track record of placing value on the position.

As far as corner, Revel and Diggs are both huge question marks. Revel had 1st round talent, but with the injury, lord only knows how his career plays out.

I feel like the Cowboys blasted Diggs enough publicly to show they aren't big fans. Eberflus also likes his corners to be solid at tackling. Throw in the injuries and I think Diggs is most likely in his final year as a Cowboy.

Yes......Diggs will not return. High on Revel, but until he does it, we don't know.

Your probably right since they don't value the safety position as much. I'm curious about Revel, sounds like he is getting closer but may not see the field this year. They have to go defense heavy in the draft but the RB position will need some attention. Do you think they extend Javonte?

I can see that but depending on where we are drafting........I'm 100% sure Eberflus will use a high pick on an LBer. I am not saying it will be a first, but def a top 3 IMO.

I agree...might find good value in the 2nd round.

You really have to think of it as a possibility because really you have three starters. 3 CB's are going to play 75+% of the the snaps. If they move on from Diggs, they are very thin.

If I was a bettor, I wouldn't put my money on CB in the 1st. However its a very real possibility

I like Faulk. But I’m going to be honest I see a Greg Ellis type talent. Very solid against the run and a 6-8 sack guy. I think he’s worth our 2nd first round pick(not first)
