Rob Rang has Dallas selecting WR speedster John Ross (there's the obvious J.R./Dallas angle at play) with #28 in round one in his latest mock.
Rang picked Ross to the Cowboys with edge rushers Takkarist McKinley (29th), Carl Lawson (30th), Charles Harris (31st) and DE/DT DeMarcus Walker (#32) being the next four picks.
I'm very open minded about the draft. The team will fill as many needs as possible ahead of time with free agents, waiver claims and possible trades.
And Ross would bring a speed dimension long missing on offense, which is a huge need.
But Dallas would probably go absolutely nuts watching all those pass rushers dropping to their spot.
We can look at video clips and read various scouting reports on all these draft prospects, but it's often impossible to get a real feel for what kind of individuals we're adding to the roster.
Who has the work ethic? Internal burning desire? Absolute team-first attitude? Etc.
The Cowboys spend millions of dollars every year trying to answer such questions and even they can't always tell.
Line one is I want good players in the draft. I'm not in a twist regarding which side of the ball they play on because we need help on offense and defense.
But if the grades are close, we will go defense.
A WR with legitimate speed would be great. Like everyone else Id prefer DE but Id rather have the better player.
