PrintPre-Combine mock draft which includes the following: A beautifully done 32 team first round mock draft (Cowboys omitted) Following w/ a specialized Cowboys mock draft, full of insight, useless predictions, retarded judgment and the occasional WTF pick.
First off
The most impressive (yet worst) 1st round mock draft ever:
1.) St. Louis - King Kong Suh, DT - Nebraska - Spags is building up his line to break down opposing lines
2.) Detriot - Gerald McCoy, DT - Oklahoma - Another big man to shore up the middle of a defense, will Detroit win a playoff game, most likely not for awhile but McCoy will help
3.) Tampa- Eric Berry, S - Tennessee - Best safety in the draft
4.) Washington - Russel Okung, OT - Ok. St - Best LT in the draft to take over for Samuels, too bad he won't be able to guard Ware, but really, who can??
5.) KC - Rolando McClain, ILB - Bama - Gives the Chiefs there new leader on the defense as well as the BPA
6.) Seattle - Jimmy Clausen, QB - ND - Can Hasslebeck last a full year anymore, doubtful, does Wallace make anyone cringe...well Seahawk fans do when they see him out there. Carroll knows you need a QB, why else would he bring in the top 15 QBs every yeart to SC when he was there
7.) Da Browns - Joe Haden, CB - Florida - Cleveland's defense will finally.....nah they will still suck but hey, its the Browns
8.) Raiders - Taylor Mays, S - USC - Darth Davis' plan to make the fastest team ever will continue, and so will the losses
9.) Buffalo - Anthony Davis, OT - Rutgers - I think they go w/ Trent Edwards one more year and try to give him some help on the Oline
10.) Denver (from da Bears) - Sam Bradford, QB - Oklahoma - McDaniels has to change his pants, he just got the perfect QB for his system
11.) Jax - Derrick Morgan, DE - GT - Jax add another pass rusher to try and make Peyton become Eli
12.) Miami - CJ Spiller, RB - Clemson - Can Brown stay healthy and Williams said 1 more year and he is done so RB will be a need and Spiller is more explosive than both Brown and Williams
13.) San Fran - Brian Bulaga OT, Iowa - Is Smith the guy, maybe, maybe not, w/ no other top QBs available, they shore up their oline
14.) Seattle - Charles Brown, OT, USC - Jones is pretty much done, Clausen is going to need a LT, Carroll goes w/ a familiar face w/ a lot of potential.
15.) NY (the crappy one) - Earl Thomas, S - Tex - Gives the Giants a safety that will get torched by Romo for years to come
16.) San Fran (from Carolina kittens) - Sergio Kindle, OLB - Tex - San Fran looking to bolster their pass rush gets a very active OLB
17.) Tennessee Titans - Dan Williams, NT - Tennessee - Tennessee tries to find another Haynesworth
18.) Pittsburgh - Mount Cody, NT - Bama - Hampton at most has a few years left, groom his replacement
19.) ATL - jason Pierre-Paul, DE - USF - Atlanta goes w/ the athletic freak w/ so much potential
20.) Houston - Mike Iupati, G - Idaho - Houston's oline is getting there
21.) Cincy - Dez Bryant, WR - Ok. St. - Dez falls like Crabtree did last year, this year he falls far down because of missing basically a full season
22.) NE - Ricky Sapp, OLB - Clemson - the Patriots get a pass rusher...
23.) GB - Bruce Campbell OT, Maryland - Good LT prospect that might be able to help save Rodger's life
24.) Philly (sux) - Sean Weatherspoon, LB - Mizzou - Philly adds some depth and a guy to challenge Gocong
25.) Hark the Raven - Patrick Robinson, CB - Florida State - new CB for the Ravens, not to much to say about it
26.) Cards - Brandon Spikes, ILB - Florida - Fills a need w/ a good LB, also he is half Predator
Whatever will the Cowboys do... not that hard of a guess
28.) San Diego - Jonathan Dwyer, RB - GT - LT's successor
29.) Jets - Golden Tate, WR - ND - Gives Poncho another target, a KSK joke
30.) Vikqueens - Perrish Cox, CB - Ok. St. - Winfield is old, but not Favre old, but they get a guy that will replace him eventually
31.) Colts - Brandon Graham, DE - Michigan - Freeney's injury basically costs Indy the game by Brees having time in the pocket, they get a guy for insurance
32.) Saints - Navarro Bowman, OLB - Penn St. - The SB winners get an OLB to compete
Now for what everyone has been waiting for..... THE COWBOYS MOCK DRAFT!!!!
1st round
Trent Williams, OT - Oklahoma (6'5" 308 lbs)
"Look momma I'm gonna be a Cowboy!!"
Scout report:
Excellent all-around blocker who is capable of playing either side. - NFL draftcountdown
Pass blocking: Engulfs lesser defensive ends on the edge. Generally bends his knees and anchors well in pass pro. Strong initial punch and coils back quickly. Reaches at times, instead of moving his feet, to maintain control of secondary rush. Recognizes outside blitzers and usually meets them at the corner of the pocket. Effective cut blocker despite his size. Comes out a little flat in his kick slide at times, giving up the corner. May struggle to stay in front of top NFL defensive ends on the edge.
Run blocking: Fires off the line and dominates his man when drive blocking. Turns his man whichever way is needed and sustains the block. Only adequate moving his feet on zone left, at times allowing his man to chase the play. Overextends when trying to punch and looks a bit slow - especially against blitzing linebackers or in space.
Pulling/trapping: Not asked to pull or trap, but is mobile enough to be effective sealing off the MIKE linebacker on strong-side run plays. If moved inside to right guard, would work best in power scheme.
Initial Quickness: Good burst off the snap to run block, and latches onto his man immediately. Sets quickly after his kick slide, and should handle pass protection on the right side. Must prove he has the lateral movement to handle initial rushes on the left side.
Downfield: Reaches linebackers and safeties at the second level quickly off the snap. Gets hands into the jersey and moves his feet to drive the man back. Will miss his target or fail to find someone to hit on occasion. Looks for second target downfield when needed.
Intangibles: Unselfish player who works hard on the field and in practice. Plays through minor injuries. Returned to school despite being a probable second-round pick in order to return to the BCS championship and complete his education.
NFL Comparison: Jammal Brown, New Orleans Saints
------- CBS sports
Where he fits:
A guy that can play nearly every position on the line and will become our RT of the future
Round 2:
Morgan Burnett, S - GT (6'1" 210)
"I finally have a chance to win a Championship!!!"
Scout reports:
It did not take much time for Morgan Burnett to make an impact on Georgia Tech's defense. As a true freshman in 2007, Burnett played in all 13 games and earned his first career start late in the season. Despite the limited playing time, Burnett led the team with three interceptions and ranked fifth in tackles with 57. That success, especially late in the campaign, led to high expectations in 2008; Burnett did not disappoint. The 6-1 free safety led the Yellow Jackets with 93 tackles, seven interceptions, eight pass breakups and 15 passes defended -- not bad at all for a sophomore. He was recognized by many media outlets for his impressive season.
Burnett plays the rover position at Georgia Tech, but he has the versatility to play either safety spot in the NFL. In most systems he would be a strong safety, but heading into the 2009 season he was considered second only to Eric Berry among safeties according to many pundits.
------ FF toolbox
Where he fits:
A safety that is used to playing and excelling being a rover, will be able to get some INTs
Round 3
Mardy Gilyard, WR - Cincy (6' 179 lbs)
"Hey Roy, this is how you catch the ball"
Scout Report:
Release: Does not always explode off the line because he is a long strider (and sometimes he wants to lull a defender to sleep). When challenged in press, however, he seems to find another gear after making a hesitation move to freeze the corner. Also uses his long arms to free himself of the jam.
Hands: Inconsistent hands, short-arming quick screens when hearing footsteps on one play then making a highlight-reel grab while flying through the air on the next. Tracks the ball over his shoulder. Will snatch the ball away from his frame and fully extend to bring in wide throws. Excellent body control whether running down the seam or tapping his feet before going out of bounds. Lacks the strength to hold onto catches after a big hit, and has ball security issues on kickoff returns.
Route running: Rounds off too many of his routes but occasionally sticks his foot in the ground and comes back at a perfect 45-degree angle on a deep out. Uses head fakes to convince defenses he's running one route before snapping out into another. Best on seam and crossing routes where he runs free before getting the ball in his hands.
After the catch: Although he does not have great timed speed, he is a very elusive runner in space. Shifty hips allow him to avoid defenders running by or with him downfield. Perfect for kickoff returns because he has time to get to top speed and finds creases to fly through while on the run. Gets through some arm tackles and had good vision to find openings after first contact.
Blocking: Efforts blocking downfield when the play comes to his side, getting the angle on his man and extending his arms to maintain contact. Simply lacks the bulk and strength to sustain against larger defensive backs for long.
Intangibles: Worked through troubles of his own making to get back on the field for the Bearcats. Appreciates his stardom and continues to work hard to maintain it. Enjoys working with inner city kids, many of whom have similar backgrounds to his.
NFL Comparison: Steve Breaston, Arizona Cardinals
-------------- CBS Sports
Super smooth athlete --- Good height --- Exceptionally quick --- Fast with excellent acceleration --- Explosive with a burst --- Terrific feet and change of direction skills --- Soft, reliable hands --- Nice body control and ball skills --- Extremely elusive and a real terror in space --- Superb vision --- Shows the ability to separate --- Tough and not afraid to work the middle --- Experienced --- Productive --- Also a fantastic return man.
--------- NFL Draft Countdown
Where he fits:
Gives the Cowboys another receiver to push the ones here, also gives them a good return guy to help a horrible kick return and has a lil more wiggle than the steady Crayton
Round 4
John Jerry, OG - Ole Miss (6'5" 332 lbs)
"I pity a foo that plays against the Cowboys"
Scout report:
Pass blocking: Strong punch at the snap as a pass blocker. Sticky hands and can control the pass rusher when he locks on. Can bend at the waist instead of his knees, especially as he wears down. Doesn't consistently place his hands accurately or move his feet actively when in pass protection and too often is left leaning or attempting to recover due to slipped blocks. Has to show more consistent lateral agility and balance to be considered an offensive tackle -- instead of a guard -- in the NFL.
Run blocking: Good initial pop at the line of scrimmage to stun the defender and can overcome his opponent with his strength and mass as a run blocker. Shows some nastiness and looks to pancake his opponent if he senses he's off-balance. Relies on his mass to gain movement at the point of attack.
Pulling/trapping: Surprising agility to get out and around the line. Good initial quickness off the snap, but loses speed quickly and struggles to adjust to moving targets at the second level.
Initial Quickness: Good first-step quickness for the down block, but this is not one of Jerry's relative strengths. Can struggle with smaller, quicker defenders, at least until he gets his hands on them.
Downfield: Intimidating presence at the second level and can wall off defenders from the ballcarrier. Struggles to adjust in space, and too often whiffs at the second level.
Intangibles: Massive man. Not just big, but very strong. Broke the Ole Miss record with 34 repetitions of 225 pounds last year -- a difficult feat considering his long arms. Too heavy and carries unnecessary weight around the middle, which clearly caused him to labor in the second half of games during the 2008 season. Played last season in the 350-360-pound range, but Ole Miss coaches would have liked him closer to 325. The brother of Atlanta Falcons 2009 first-round pick Peria Jerry, a former All-SEC defensive tackle for the Rebels.
NFL Comparison: Leonard Davis, Cowboys
---- CBS Sports
Outstanding height and bulk with long arms --- Powerful and naturally strong --- Stout at the point of attack --- Gets a great push in the run game --- Dominant once locked on --- Solid instincts --- Durable --- Has lots of quality experience --- Offers some versatility --- Great bloodlines.

Where he fits:
Monster mauler that will grow into a starting guard
6th Round
Walter Thurmond, CB - Oregon (5'11" 182 lbs)
"My ball"
Scout report:
Read & React: Good read-and-react skills. Four-year starter who knows all the tricks. Aggressively jumps routes, but has good agility and straight-line speed to recover. Good run recognition. Quickly discards the receiver to meet the ballcarrier.
Man Coverage: Low and fast coming out of his stance. Quick feet and re-directs easily and closes on the ball with a burst. Relies too much on his athleticism in coverage. Marginal punch in press coverage and too often allows receivers into their route for a corner of his size and long arms.
Zone Coverage: Lanky, athletic cornerback with the size, footwork and speed to fit any defensive scheme. Has primarily played in straight man coverage schemes. Re-directs easily with quick feet and loose hips. Good awareness and tackling ability to play zone coverage. Understands his responsibilities and reads the quarterback's eyes to make plays on the ball.
Closing/Recovery: Good straight-line speed to recover deep if beaten initially. Good, explosive burst to close laterally. Long arms to deflect passes. Times his leaps well and shows natural hands for the interception.
Run Support: Rare willingness to meet the ballcarrier in run support for a cornerback. Evades blockers easily with lateral quickness and vision. Squares up and makes tackles in space.
Tackling: Reliable open-field tackler who breaks down in space to make the secure stop against smaller, quicker athletes. Good effort in pursuit and will lay out to make the tackle.
Intangibles: Showed good toughness last season in battling through a pelvic injury. Missed only one game due to the injury but wasn't 100 percent.
NFL Comparison: Richard Marshall, Panthers

Scout Report:
The Santa Fe (Fla.) High School product was a two-time All-Conference USA performer who recorded 60 tackles this year - a team-high 13.0 of those coming behind the line of scrimmage for lost yardage. He was credited with five or more stops on six occasions and was the unit's co-leader with 14 quarterback hurries, tallying a combined six in division and conference championship-clinching wins vs. Southern Miss and Houston.

I like it a lot seeing as we agree on the first two Cowboys picks.
As for the rest, I think it was solidly done as well. My only real difference is that I considered Gilyard more of a second rounder so I went guard instead in the third round and went WR in the fourth (in hindsight I probably should have gone with a guy more like Antonio Brown since Ford will probably be gone) . Of course, John Jerry is a pretty good guard prospect as well and I would be elated to grab him in the fourth.
Overall, if our draft went like this, I would be beyond pleased as I absolutely love Burnett and Gilyard as players, and I think Jerry and Williams would go a long way towards shoring this team’s O-line up down the road. The later round picks are good as well although I would just personally probably go D-line before CB.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
I like that mock
although I keep on hearing that Sanders is going undrafted, but I just don’t see it. He has speed and production. I think he doesn’t make it past the 6th.
Also John Jerry really helped his stock with the senior bowl. Would not be surprised if he was taken with an early third or late second.
2009 BTB Fantasy Champ... Deal with it
Agreed on both counts
except that I think Sanders is more of a 7th round pick because the concerns about him coming out of June Jones’s system will hurt him. And when you consider the only real successful Hawaii receiver was Davonne Bess (who I believe went undrafted), I think the concerns are somewhat warranted (Ashley Lelie is the one that comes to mind) although you still have to love his potential.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
And Bess wasn't even as fast or athletic as Sanders
Plus we are talking about a 5th or 6th not a 1st where Lelie was drafted.
2009 BTB Fantasy Champ... Deal with it
I do think Emmanual has a chance to get drafted but most have him as late 7th
round pick so I thought he may slip a bit, we see it happen all the time.
About Gilyard, I think he slips because of his timed speed being slower and most scouts watch the practice more and didn’t have the best week.

Dexter McCluster
Instant help in the return game and another toy for Red Jesus!! I think this is a guy for the boys to really, really look at.
Man I Love The Picks
but someone like Al Davis will screw up the picks.
I’m not a Sooner fan but that is a nice pick for us.
IMHO Bradford won’t last till 10.Guillyard won’t last till the 3rd round and since we don’t need a WR I don’t see us takeing him any higher.Weatherspoon too good to drop to Philly.
Jerry will either move up or down if he can find a dance partner.I think his Quincy fiasco has taught him to listen to his staff.
Anyone think we can trade MBIII for value.
Is the Rossum dude we signed as a return man in our plans for next year?
like the picks i also c the DE's i expect Dallas to draft this year........
There a few things i think i would change but you know we all like to play fantasy GM………..
The 2nd round pick at safety Morgan Burnett i just don’t think the Cowboys will bring another SS since they have Mike and Sensi (although Sensi is a RFA, but he will return next year prob on a tender)
That is y i like the CB/FS prospect of Chris Cook his secret is out and a good showing can propel a late day pick to a first day pick ex. Connor Barwin…….. Bc Ken Hamlin lost a step and besides him we have Allan Ball there is where the depth needs to b targeted plus Cook ability to play corner.
Gilyard i do wish we get that kid what a nice showing for that kid but i think n second round he will get snatch up …. maybe a rough project like Javier Arenas would be available n the late rounds he could be a WR or CB project……But his return game would prob be his ticket on this team.
WHOA WHOA WHOA
Burnett played FS, he played rover FS which is what Hamlin plays on passing downs, Gilyard will time too slow to get drafted that high, Arenas most likely will be only a return man in the nfl because of his height while Gilyard can be both a WR and a Return man

Morgan Burnett in my opinion could project to either spot.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

I think Sensi could play either spot as well
by nicholas.rodriguez on Feb 8, 2010 2:12 AM CST up reply actions
he can and sum corner......
I look up Burnett scout report and they projected him more of a SS in the NFL than a FS.. That is y i label him as a SS.
If your remember last year a player by the name of Brian Robriske who ran a 4.56 and was scouted as not havin great separation speed was drafted 36 overall by the Browns. So just to say speed will make him fall is not reliable. Pat white went in the second round bc of a great Senior Bowl.
A player can have a mess of bad tape but when they do great when it really counts the senior bowl and the combine players move up on the board………poor performance can make a player move down.
Robiske was also a great route runner
and had extremely reliable hands, Gilyard is inconsistent on his routes and he drops an occasional ball, and has a slighter frame than Robiske

here's what i would like to see (but i know it won't happen)
1st round – brandon graham 2nd and 3rd round – best offensive lineman available… after that, BPA
ttrade choice for cromartie and sign matt jones…
brandon graham is a monster, i know we don’t really need another lb, but he’s going to be good…
free will start at LT next year, and brewster will push kosier… cromartie will be CB number 4, but will back up the starters as scandrick will be primarily the slot guy (and cro will take over for newman when he gets injured, and when he retires in a few years)… cro returns punts/kicks…. matt jones solves our 3rd wr “problem,” and he can challenge roy being in the same mold and faster… of course that all depends on the shape matt jones has stayed in (i have a feeling jerry told him to stay clean and stay in shape, and he’ll have a jjob this year)
lol No to signing Matt Jones
he has been out of football for a year, i do like Graham but I don’t think we invest another 1st rounder on him unless he is the only 1st round rated guy we have left on the board… i do like the trade Cromartie for Choice, which will then allow Stafon Johnson to have a shot to join the team, he is like Choice, he isn’t the strongest or fastest but he finds the hole. Matt Jones is Roy Williams on crack, he only had 1 year that was any good, and he has a drug problem, no thanks.

Brandom Graham is going to be a monster
but the need versus value there is so skewed I don’t think we could do that.

Uhhhh, bad example....
“Hey Roy, this is how you catch the ball”
That’s a body catch, receivers in the NFL are asked to catch with their hands That kind of mechanic is a flaw.
Viva México! Go Cowboys!
Still isn't 'how you catch a ball'
On the whole though I appreciate the effort, although I think Rolle in the 3rd would be superior to Burnett in the 2nd.
RW is the opposite of WR. Coincidence? I think not.
by aussie_cowboy on Feb 8, 2010 5:41 AM CST up reply actions
Let me put it this way...
When Georgia Tech beat Florida State in 2008, the best safety on the field was Morgan Burnett. He lead GT in interceptions every year he played, and has great experience in run support considering how bad GT’s linebacking corp. has been the last few years. While Rolle may get more press with his Rhodes Scholarship, even before that he was not considered a high draft pick. I think Rolle can be a good NFL safety, but Burnett can in my opinion be a great NFL safety.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

I agree with Cowboyfan
Rolle is a solid player, but is limited to SS and special teams.
Burnett has the “Wow” factor in his game and can play FS or SS.
If he’s still available when Dallas picks in the late 2nd rd, that would be a bargain.

I know
it is all good fun but is there really a need to ruin a good piece of work by a cheapshot at the Giants.
After all they did beat you twice this year and that Romo really made toast of S K Phillips in the first matchup.

Oh God....Trent Williams would be a HORRIBLE pick.....
…I would rather draft Lupati there..Williams needs alot of work at the next level and needs to put on more weight…He woudnt see the field for 2 years barring injury…

He weighs 318 lbs.
Free weighs 313 lbs. Why exactly does Williams have to put on weight? Especially when his strength is his run-blocking.

Iupati most likely won't be there when we pick
I went with what I thought would be available, did you see the 1st round mock up top… Williams is only there for us because of questions if he is a RT or a LT, Williams also has played guard at Oklahoma as well so he would start out as a swing tackle that will be available if there are injuries this year
