Decided to play this fantasy mock draft and came up with this scenario. Players I wanted initially was off the board so I loaded up on picks to go defense heavy with a focus on speed, production, and depth on the backend of the draft.
Traded away 12 for 17, then traded 17 for 25. Traded away 20 for 31
Pick 25- Colton Hood CB (Tennessee)
Solid CB who is great in man and solid in zone and great in run support 8 PBUs
Pick 31- CJ Allen LB (UGA)
3 year starter at UGA with a solid production at a position Dallas need talent at bad
Pick 50- Cashius Howell Edge (Texas A&M)
Speed Merchant off the edge 11 sacks, 14 TFL, 6 PBUs. Could push for Eze's starting position or rotational piece at worse
Pick 57- Caleb Banks DT (Florida)
Big body powerful Def tackle who can add depth behind Clark/ Williams (injured last year but played through it when most would shut it down)
Pick 63- Keionte Scott CB (Miami FL)
Fast, strong, dawg mentality, can blitz, can coverage and can take it to the house 2 pick 6s
Pick 92- Jalon Kilgore S/CB (South Carolina)
3rd CB inthe draft because we have to get this position right, hybrid player can cover TEs or Slot that has speed along with insane amount of PBUs (10)
Pick 95- Isaiah World OT (Oregon)
4 year starter in college, could be a depth piece at the very least, send a message to our current tackles on this team
Pick 112- Kyle Louis LB (Pittsburgh)
Double dip at LB because we have to get this position corrected moving forward, solid productive All ACC player with 8 TFLs
Pick 147- Anthony Lucas Edge (USC)
Love the measurables 7ft wing span and can rush from outside and inside, has some thump to his tackling
Pick 152- Tristan Leigh OT (Clemson)
Team captain, not stiff and has quick feet, inconsistent with bull rush but could still be a nice depth piece behind our current OTs
Pick 177- Roman Hemby RB (Indiana)
Depth player at position but productive in college lead team in rushing last year. Also Kick returner
Pick 180- Travis Burke OT (Memphis)
Big tackle who was first team All AAC, flexible hips and great hand placement but can overcommit at times. Still worth taking to solidify offensive line
Pick 218- Tim Keenan III DT (Alabama)
Big body frame who does well against double teams. Another depth piece to keep Clark/ Williams fresh throughout the game
In hindsight, some of these players will earlier in the draft but this would be an absolute haul if it did panned out this way.
