I'm starting to get really amped. I kind of want the lockout to last past the Draft so there is pressure on the teams ahead of us to grab a QB while they still can. Anything to get Snookems Peterson to within grab distance for us.

Gonna operate as if he isn't there and we stay put.

#9. Tyron Smith, OT, USC, 6'5", 310.
Day 1 starter at RT and Colombo is either released or becomes insurance as backup.

#40. Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State, 6'5", 295. Can be a day 1 starter if he pushes himself and beats out Stephen Bowen.

#71. Will Rackley, OG, Lehigh, 6'3", 310. Can be a day 1 starter if he beats out Leonard Davis. I would love that. Yeah, it means two rookies on the right. So what?

#110. John Moffitt, OG, Wisconsin, 6'4", 315. Or he can be a day 1 starter if he can beat out Leonard Davis. The other becomes the replacement for Kosier when he stops in a year or so.

#143. Henry Hynoski, FB, Pittsburgh, 6'2", 255.
Day 1 starter at FB. I think he makes an immediate impact in the Offense.

#176. Deunta Williams, FS, North Carolina, 6'2", 205. I have no idea why he is still dropping on all the Draft boards I see, but I think he is a steal anywhere past the 3rd round. Could one day take over for fellow Tarheel Gerald Sensabaugh whom I think will team up with Michael Huff in 2011 as our Safety tandem.

#220. Noel Devine, RB/KR/PR, West Virginia, 5'7, 175. Day 1 he is our primary return specialist and our 3rd RB after Barber is cut in a cap move. Dangerous in the open field. What do we do with Dez you ask? Use him in crucial situations where we need him, save him when we don't.

#252. Greg McElroy, QB, Alabama, 6'2", 225.
This is mostly wishful thinking. He is the QB I want. A true football student of the game who reminds me of Jason Garrett in that respect. In fact I think he will one day get into coaching and why not with us? Nothing more than a backup, but those are vital needs. Especially smart ones.
 
I love the attention paid to the o-line, especially if Huff is brought in at FS, wouldn't be unhappy with this.
 
Love it but I would try throw in a CB in there. I like Moffit especially since he can play 2 different positions (OG, C) and because of this I would replace Rackely with a CB if one is there for us. Although Hos, Rackely sure is enticing to have.
 
No complaints. I would like to see CB addressed but we only have so many picks.
 
I like it, I would like to see a NT somewhere in there, 5th or 6th round Ian WIlliams maybe.
 
I kinda doubt Moffit falls to the Fourth but hey if he does MORE POWER TO THE COWBOYS!!!
 
I like it Hos. I'm not a fan of the T. Smith pick but all areas are addressed. Love Moffitt and Deunta picks. Maybe Wisneiwski instead of Rackley though.
 
Looks good to me.

Really addresses the trenches, love that aspect of it
 
I don't think Moffit will last that far so I would take him in the 3rd over Rackley. I would also rather see a CB in the 2nd if we go OL in the 1st since I think there will be someone with a lot of talent there at 40. We could then go DT/DE in the 4th. Nice mock tho, just adding my 2 cents.
 
Tony Romo & Felix Jones approve this mock. Make it happen Jerry!
 
Really solid but I'm not sure Cam Heyward or Deunta Williams fall that far.
 
I like it.

Chances are that Heyward is gone at 40 though. But if so, we could plug in Brandon Harris and have a starting CB for the next 8 years.

Ratliff and Brent are doing just fine.
yeah if you say so, We need a run stuffer. I like Brent but no fully sold on him. Give me Ian WIlliams and Brent at NT and we still have Rat to rely on. Move Rat to RDE with Bowen backing up.
You need a run stuffer at LDE so draft Jenkins or Ellis and move Igor to LDE.
your DL would be

LDE
Igor/Jenkins or Ellis

NT
Ian Williams/ Brent

RDE
Ratliff/ Bowen

No No No.... Rat is a Pro Bowl DT in a 34, he is doing just fine. Why lessen his impact by moving him to end.

what if he is a pro bowl 3-4 DE. If it doesn't work out we can always move him back in. We need a pass rush from the DL. Ratliff had zero tackles for a loss last year, he got doubled and shoved out of the way on running downs. He belongs at DE. Also playing DE will lenghten his career. If he can be a pro bowl NT, then he can be a pro bowl 3-4 DE.

I don't understand how one thinks moving Rat to DE lessen his impact. I think he will have more of an impact. He will be able to collapse the left side of the OL and allow Ware more freedom.

He has said it himself many times. He does not feel comfortable out on the end. His game is based on quickness. I feel he lacks the overall speed to have a huge impact on the edge. The defense had a ton of problems last season, I would not be surprised to see rat back to his 09 form along with the whole D.
