What I think will happen MOCK

[darthseinfeld]

Does it really matter?

Well......maybe we will get the comedy of Kellen Moore getting benched for Jameill Showers

And the Jones saying we can win with both of them

 

[StarBoyz83]

That would be not so Bueno.
Dallas needs 2 good drafts and some more FA's next offseason

 

[waving monkey]

I think based on everything I've seen in FA and media comments, this is what we can expect to see the Cowboys do

.......................................
this would surprise me
if you could find a safety or DT [1 or 3] I'd be delighted.
I think Elliott puts "W" on the board
I know it's against the FO philosophy ect. ect.

What leads you to believe Zeke is a real option?

 

[MikeT22]

Doubt we take Zeke at 4. I do like William Jackson but he may sneak into the first. With Dak's DUI I don't think we'd even take him in the 4th.

Not sure how all this addresses our #1 priority - improving the pass rush. Too much offense.

 

[Cowboys1fan]

We lost most of our games by less than a touchdown because the opposition used no-frills basic game plan against us, knowing we couldn't score. I am not opposed to drafting Elliot, but unless we add pass-rushers, we will have to score 30+ per game to have a chance.

Whoa, we won't have to score 30 to win with Elliot. He would be a monster

 

[egn22]

His talent matches an area of need for us and provides a long term option

I have no problem taking Zeke at 4. I think he is the player we could take that would give us the most bang.

I really don't mind the other players you have taken although I am not as high on Dak as the Cowboys "seem" to be.

With that said...I just can't see them going 4 rounds without only one defensive player. IF they don't take a defensive player in the first round...I imagine they do in the next 2-3 minimum.

On the flip side, the owner/GM has said they won't pay TBs a lot of money.

I think people thinking the Cowboys are going to choose Elliott at 4 are doing it more based on wishful thinking than reality.

I think you might be referring to FAs. I don't think we are overly concerned about drafting a stud in the first because of the financial impact of his rookie contract.

I've already stated my "wish" would be to bring back Hardy and then go Ramsey with the 1st pick and DT w the 2nd pick.

RB with the first isn't my main preference but I'm thinking of what I could see us doing and how it would be explained to the media after.

Sure I'd be excited if we got Zeke but not more excited than I'd be if we loaded up on defense and created a nightmare for opposing QBs.

Except they didn't distinguish between FA and draft pick. Jones clearly stated they do not want to put significant money into the position. And then have operated that way for 2 years now.

In fact, I suspect the exact same thing is going to happen.............. they will eschew (and have) and FAs that will cost money and then look to the mid round of the draft (like they tried last year) to find a TB.

I just don't believe there is any chance at all that they'd take Elliott at 4.

 

[jazzcat22]

We may trade down and take Elliott, but we wont pay a HB 24 million guarenteed

He would be worth it. Keeps him away from Eagles and Giants, and helps this team immediately far more than any other player.

 

[RoboQB]

Who plays QB when Romo goes down week 3?

According to the OP mock draft, probably Dak Prescott... who, by the way, wouldn't be any less ready than whomever
is anyone's favorite QB selection at 4th overall might be.

Don't forget that Romo is the starter from day one... it won't be like Winston or Mariota had it last year... the #2 guy
doesn't get enough reps in camp to be able to jump in and handle everything in week 3.

So, if Romo goes down again this year, we are not much better off at QB.

Must have DE
