Mocking the Cowboys Draft: Nine Weeks To Go

Btb_draft_medium

It's mock draft time. Every week from now until draft weekend we summarize the latest mock drafts out there. Below you'll find choice quotes on which players some mock drafts like as our No. 1 pick, and also an overview of selected draftniks that have published a mock draft of at least three rounds.

So without further ado, let's take a spin around the Cowboys mock draft world.

(We recommend starting with Raf's mock, you know he knows the deal with the Cowboys)

Star-divide

Bucky Brooks at NFL.com - 2/17/2010

Taylor Mays, S, Southern California. Jerry Jones finds it too difficult to pass on adding a talent like Mays to his defense.

Newsportdraft.com - 2/17/2010

Taylor Mays, S, USC. Mays' NFL draft stock dropped a little bit this year but he has great size at the safety position. Some teams are concerned with his covering skills and how he plays the play action. I think he will be a great player in the NFL and he is one of the top DB's in my 2010 NFL Mock Draft.

Mocking The Draft - 2/16/2010

Mike Iupati, Guard, Idaho: Kyle Kosier is decent at left guard but Iupati would be a huge upgrade. He perfectly fits the Dallas power blocking scheme. Even more importantly, he would add some nastiness to the Cowboys line.

Walterfootball.com - 2/16/2010

Mike Iupati, G, Idaho. Iupati makes too much sense here. He's the type of mauling offensive lineman Dallas loves to have up front. The Cowboys need help at the position. It's a perfect match, and I found it highly amusing that the Dallas Morning News reported that the entire Cowboys coaching staff "perked up" when Iupati's name was announced for the Senior Bowl Weigh-Ins.

Newnfldraft.com - 2/15/2010

Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Mizzou. The Cowboys have been good of late and I have them taking a player that is on the rise. Weatherspoon is a good LB who has the potential to play opposite Ware and be a very good player. He could be a much higher pick in this draft if he works out well at the 2010 NFL Draft Combine.

Nepatriotsdraft.com - 2/15/2010

Charles Brown, OT, USC. The Cowboys need to address the tackle position after the debacle against the Vikings. Brown has a chance to make Jerry Jones forget about Flozell.

Fanhouse.com - 2/15/2010

Jared Odrick, DT/DE, Penn St. This pick would likely hinge on Marcus Spears departing Dallas, and if he does, Odrick could fill his spot. The Cowboys could also look at bringing in secondary help, but the value just isn't there at pick no. 27.

Foxsports (Peter Schrager) - 2/11/2010

Vladimir Ducasse, OT/G Massachusetts. Who?! Trust me, nobody will be asking that question by Draft weekend, as the versatile offensive line prospect out of UMass made quite the splash at the Senior Bowl and is quickly moving up draft boards. His versatility is the main reason. At 6’5, 330 pounds, Ducasse can play either tackle positions or in the interior at guard. [...] It’s no secret that the Dallas offensive line needs some young reinforcements. Ducasse, though perhaps not the sexiest choice for Cowboys fans, is a necessary step in the right direction.

NFLdraftblitz.com - 2/11/2010

Earl Thomas, S, Texas. The ‘Boys often expect their Safeties to run with receivers in tight man-to-man coverage and this could be the best Safety in this class at achieving that. Another possibility here is Bruce Campbell, but we’ll stick with the best player on our board. text

Draftcountdown.com - 2/11/2010

Earl Thomas, S, Texas. At first glance the Cowboys don’t appear to have many major, glaring holes on their depth chart. This is especially true after the emergence of Miles Austin at wide receiver. However, the safety position has been a problem in Dallas for years now and it sounds like they intend to make bringing in an upgrade a priority this offseason. Thomas doesn’t have great size but he is very athletic and rangy with a nose for the ball and a real playmaking streak. [...] The Cowboys could definitely be in the market for a blocker such as Idaho's Mike Iupati here as well. [...] As a darkhorse don’t completely rule out a wide receiver either.

I love how everyone thinks

that Jerry Jones has this obsession with big names in the draft. Whens the last time we reached for the big name? Its just like his “obsession” with Arkansas players, when Felix Jones was the first one he EVER drafted.

IMHO

my dream first round choice is earl thomas, even if we are moving up, I like him….I think we desperately need safety with ball hawk skills, someone like Ed Reed, Sharper and others….we have a excellent pass rsuhers in ware, spencer, ratliff…so QB is often throwing the ball under pressure, but we cant still pick it with safety…..most of the interceptions of Jenkins, or Newman was a result of QB bad decisions, because they played really good coverage….

so pick earl thomas, and let him finally make the plays we really need….

before there was law, there were the Cowboys!!!

Playing witht the health of YOur QB is risky business.

I like Thomas and I think a ball hawk back there can make us down right scary but man if Flo gets suspended or just gets old at mid season. It will gett ugly fast around here.

Y will that get ugly

we all agree that Free can take his place, then it would be Free and Columbo as the OTs. Columbo had 1 real bad game last year and that was after him having an injury that should’ve benched him the rest of the year, he will be fine.

iowa flozell is the best tackle on the team

He is better than anyone else on the team. Who is better?

by alanTdot. on Feb 20, 2010 10:08 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

Best Tackle on the Team?

I am not sure how that is a relevant argument. LT is a unique position on the oline; it is the anchor position; it is the most important position on the oline. Everything pivots from the talent fielded by a team at LT. Dallas has had problems now for three years on the oline. These problems start with Flo. Something needs to be done here.

by Iowacowboy on Feb 20, 2010 10:21 PM CST up reply actions  

lt is relevant because he must stop the others teams best pass rusher

And protect the blind side of the QB so as to prevent injury and turnovers. The problems start with Flo?? Really? What games were you watching? I think Flo has one year maybe two left as a starter, but to call him the start of the oline woes is, I think, excessive.

by alanTdot. on Feb 20, 2010 10:49 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

Obviously LT Is The Most Important Position

I stated that before you did. We agree on this point. Do you think the oline has been a success the last two years? Do you think we have the depth and skill sets across the oline? As for Flo, what season were you watching? Penalties, striking out at his opponents by tripping and sneaky before the half late hits and inability to handle the speed rush; then going out of the most important game of the year with a frigging bruise. Flo is old, hobbled and a liability.

by Iowacowboy on Feb 21, 2010 9:07 AM CST up reply actions  

Flo Struggled In Pass Protection

Flozell Adams struggled mightily in pass protection this season. He yielded nine sacks on the year and gave up a ridiculous 42 quarterback pressures, by far the most on the team.

by Iowacowboy on Feb 21, 2010 9:17 AM CST up reply actions  

I generally agree with you point of view except on this one.

Being loud and repetitive does not make you correct. Considering that he was older at the end of the season than at the beginning. How is it that he took care of Trent Cole 3 times one at the beginning and 2 at the end? Isn’t he a quote unquote a speed rusher. Pro Bowl at that.

Also since you brought some stats to the support your argument can you find the stats for Peters? Since he did make the Pro Bowl ahead of Flo, he’s stats have got to be significantly better than Flos. I’m just curious to make a side by side comparison. Actually now that I think about it can you OCC put together some OL metrics so we can see how each of our guys compare to the best? Thanks in advance.

I think you have gotten so tired of Flo (false start, holding, getting hurt and still playing the gull of the guy, and my favorite tripping to keep his QB from getting hurt that may bother you but I would rather ask Romo) anything he does good or bad is going to be deflated or inflated.

Let’s wait for the stat comparison before you run the guy out of town. Besides I have a another question for you how many people have you found on the BTB that disagree with drafting a future replacement for Flo? Not me I would love for them to find his replacement in the 2nd. I to want Pouncey in the 1st.

Woodson is a Hall of Famer!!!

by I'm a Cowboy on Feb 21, 2010 9:40 AM CST up reply actions  

There Is Data Out There

Are you denying that Flo was (statistically provable) poor at pass protection? I thought this was a given. Sorry for being loud and repetitive but the argument that Flo is a liability or an asset is at the core of the upcoming free agency and draft period. I can’t quite get over how Romo has been hammered the last two years and the Vikings game. If Dallas does not fix the pass protection, particularly at the two tackle spots, then they are never going to make the championship game, let alone win it.

by Iowacowboy on Feb 21, 2010 10:27 AM CST up reply actions  

Flo played very well during that end of season

stretch that led to the playoffs and the playoff win. I like you expected must more after the Philly game. I was very disappointed and felt the whole string of emotions then reasoning for the loss. But not at anytime did I think Flo was the reason for the loss other than him not being able to play in the game, which did not allow us to pull Colombo.

That game from a pass protecting point of view felt more like last season’s Baltimore game where we had leaks and big pushes up the middle. This prevented Romo from stepping up in pocket and letting the outside pass rush just fly by. This made him a sitting duck to the outside past rush. That’s how I saw the game breakdown.

That being said if I was drafting this year I would be trying hard to make up for the RW mistake and drafting the OL we should have drafted in 2009.

Campbell or Ducasse would also be a nice fit for us.

I saw were Pitt might draft Iupati. They have drafted Faneca there and it work out nice for them. Roethlisberger has been getting pummeled lately so I could see it happening.

Some have Pouncey as a higher overall grade

than Iupati. Quincyyyy put up links to where some guys number rate the players and Pouncey was rated higher. We have a few holes but we should get the most for those positions and I don’t see the huge difference between Pouncey and Iupati

the coaches at the Senior bowl wanted to see what he could do on the outside,and I’m sure they didn’t do it to pass the time. he has a shot at LT. And he is the best Guard prospect in years. he’s gone by 27, not even worth talking about anymore really ……

Campbell Won't Last To Spot 27

He will move up after the combine; his numbers will be amazing; speed, strength

by Iowacowboy on Feb 20, 2010 7:37 PM CST up reply actions  

That all depends . . .

 . . . on the most important part of the Combine — the personal interviews. Campbell will be questioned about his desire, work ethic and inconsistency, all which have come into question. Depends on how well he is coached to respond — that’s the reason he’s rated lower than the other top-tier tackles.

From the hometown of Bob Lilly,

by Long Ball on Feb 20, 2010 11:39 PM CST up reply actions  

yeah i heard some individuals questioning his foucus

I mean we have no idea right, no real reason to assume that but if it is true then that is among the worse traits a LT can have. He may be a good pick at that spot anyway because he could most likely translate into a legit RT.

by Becho on Feb 21, 2010 12:38 AM CST up reply actions  

it doesn't happen often, but it happens

when you see really high G prospects. Steve Hutchinson went 17th and he’s been a perennial Pro Bowler.

Some teams won’t take Gs in the 1st. The Steelers will. They took Faneca and Kendall Simmons in the 1st round. And they desperately need interior line help. Roethlisberger has been pummeled the last two years.

It’s not far fetched to Iaputi to the Steelers. He’s the highest G prospect in a long, long time.

by Rafael Vela on Feb 20, 2010 6:22 PM CST reply actions  

If they just let the draft come to them...

They should come out of the draft with a few good players. The Cowboys should just follow their board.. there’s no need to reach.

There’s going to be a good player available at 27, possibly the highest rated G and C prospects still on the board. Or maybe Campbell falls.. or maybe Earl Thomas drops.

They can fill a few position of needs, as long as they go in with the mindset that they’ll be able to pick them up in no particular order.

by theboysfan on Feb 20, 2010 7:12 PM CST reply actions  

Never reach

but this is a draft to move up a few positions. I think we can still get good value w/ our first where it is and it would cost way to much to move up but the second round I agree w/ Raf that we need to move up there to get the player we want.

by nicholas.rodriguez on Feb 20, 2010 7:19 PM CST up reply actions  

Jenkins in 2008

we moved up from 28 to 25 to get him when he probably wouldn’t have been available 3 picks later, that’s the kind of move that makes sense.

by scottmaui on Feb 20, 2010 9:18 PM CST up reply actions  

I agree w/ that

but the first round will cost a lot even to move up a few spots will take our third, why do that when there should still be a good prospect (Pouncey) when we can move up in the second the same amount of spots for a 6th

by nicholas.rodriguez on Feb 20, 2010 11:15 PM CST up reply actions  

Wow

Cody in the 2nd would be sweet. From a need standpoint I’d rather OL and S in the first/second, but a playmaker like Cody would be really nice to have. After looking at these mock projections I’m feeling really good about this draft.

when he is playing hard, he is amazing, but that isn’t all the time, I think he will be inconsistent in the league and has the highest chance of eating his way out of the league

Raf...Drafting someone who is strictly a RT

Is that an indication that you think Free is the future at LT, or just that the BPA in the 3rd happened to be a OT who can only play on the right side?

I hope Free is the answer at LT, but wouldn’t mind if Free is just a RT. As long as he proves to be a starting at one of the spots, that’s fine with me. But since I’m not convinced Free is the future at LT.. If we take an OT in the draft, I’d like it to be one that has a chance to play the left side.

by theboysfan on Feb 20, 2010 8:23 PM CST reply actions  

He has the tools

good feet, good lateral movement as well. He could be our LT IMO and that is one of the reasons I wouldn’t mind us grabbing Trent Williams who isn’t a LT but can play RT

by nicholas.rodriguez on Feb 20, 2010 11:18 PM CST up reply actions  

The second part

Guys who can play on the left side go higher. I’m intrigued by Jared Veldheer,who looks a lot like this year’s Sebastian Vollmer, who you recall came on late and was taken in the late 2nd by New England. The Cowboys had a 3rd round grade on him and would have considered him there.

Of course, Vollmer went to Houston. Veldheer went to Hillsdale. If he gets a 3rd this year, I’d look at him but remember, Dallas picks late 3rd, which is early 4th. I think LT prospects are so hard to find that even a relative unknown like Veldheer goes in the first 3 rounds.

If Dallas wants a sure thing at LT they should go earlier. OTOH, OL is the worst grade position by draftniks, something I’ll cover this coming week.

by Rafael Vela on Feb 20, 2010 11:25 PM CST up reply actions  

Veldheer actually reminds me more of Joel Bell from last year's draft who went undrafted

Veldheer supposedly had slow feet in the Texas vs. the Nation game. My sources also tell me (I have always wanted to use that phrase) that Veldheer’s arms measured 32 5/8, which is pretty pedestrian by tackle standards.

I’m sure he’ll have a great combine, but I’m not sure he’s all that.

his feet concern me

and he seemed to have problems bending his knees. That can be hard to correct sometimes. See Leonard Davis.

I’m probably cutting against the grain on this blog, but with those two concerns and the fact he probably can’t play any other position other than guard makes me extremely wary of taking Iupati in the first round.

by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Feb 22, 2010 2:46 PM CST up reply actions  

all depends

If Williams somehow slides to us, I would think Free would be given the LT job after Flo hangs them up and Williams steps into Colombo’s spot after he retires.

But I see what you’re saying, I’d prefer to draft a LT in the first RD as well.

Guards

I’d be very pleased if we got Iupati in the first. But suppose he is gone, who else is out there that would represent an upgrade to our line? Would getting Saffold or Asamoah in the second round or possibly Brandon Carter in the third represent more bang for the buck?

I think I’d be happiest with the draft if we could pick up a good OT round 1, the best available Safety round 2, and then go back to OL and pick up the best available Guard in round 3.

The other scenario that I’d like is to trade down to pick up two low seconds for our first and second. Then we could possibly pick up Earl Thomas and Pouncey in those spots.

Who's the dude on crack?

Who thinks we might use a first round pick to draft Spencer’s backup?

Trade down - possible, Trade up - Not a chance

Trading up in the 1st would be a costly mistake. Supposing all the players we’ve been drueling over for weeks get taken before we pick, that means several players rated higher have fallen. Any way you cut it, we get either value, or the player we want.

Trading up in the second is possible, or even in the third. Although Jerry is the jack of all trades in the draft, I fully expect to see him stay put in the 1st this year. Trading down would mean the second year in a row without a first round pick and that ain’t happening.

When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather -- not screaming like the passengers in his car.

If Dallas got Taylor Mays in the first round.....

everyone can start sending Pepto Bismol to my place.

I agree with Peter Schrager

I’m going with Vlad Ducasse, his long term potential look enormous, although if Thomas is still on the board he’d be tough to pass up.

In Romo we Trust
