The first week of free agency came and went and the Cowboys didn’t do much of anything. But then the second week came up and Jerry and Stephen Jones got to work. They retained some of their own players and added some more, including Christian Covington, Kerry Hyder, Randall Cobb, and George Iloka.
This has seemingly given the Cowboys several options to fill some holes on their roster, which frees them up to focus more on drafting the best player available. If they end up finalizing a trade for Dolphins defensive end Robert Quinn, that would give them even more flexibility. With that in mind, here is a full seven round mock draft in light of the moves Dallas has made lately.

24. Oakland Raiders (from CHI) - Clelin Ferrell, EDGE - Clemson

Second Round:
33. Arizona Cardinals - Chris Lindstrom, OG - Boston College
34. Indianapolis Colts (from NYJ) - Deionte Thompson, S - Alabama
35. Oakland Raiders - Jeffery Simmons, DT - Mississippi State
36. San Francisco 49ers - Jachai Polite, EDGE - Florida
37. New York Giants - Daniel Jones, QB - Duke
38. Jacksonville Jaguars - Erik McCoy, OG - Texas A&M
39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DeAndre Baker, CB - Georgia
40. Buffalo Bills - Noah Fant, TE - Iowa
41. Denver Broncos - Dexter Lawrence, DT - Clemson
42. Cincinnati Bengals - Dru Samia, OG - Oklahoma
43. Detroit Lions - Justin Layne, CB - Michigan State
44. Green Bay Packers - Elgton Jenkins, OL - Mississippi State
45. Atlanta Falcons - Amani Oruwariye, CB - Penn State
46. Washington Redskins - Kelvin Harmon, WR - NC State
47. Carolina Panthers - Marquise Brown, WR - Oklahoma
48. Miami Dolphins - Charles Omenihu, DL - Texas
49. Cleveland Browns - Taylor Rapp, S - Washington
50. Minnesota Vikings - Emmanuel Hall, WR - Missouri
51. Tennessee Titans - Julian Love, CB - Notre Dame

56. New England Patriots (from CHI) - Chase Winovich, EDGE - Michigan
57. Philadelphia Eagles - Juan Thornhill, S - Virginia
58. Dallas Cowboys - Renell Wren, DT - Arizona State
With the long-overdue departure of David Irving and the uncertainty around Tyrone Crawford, the Cowboys need some playmakers in the middle of the defensive line. Renell Wren, whose scouting report can be found here, offers terrific potential. His frenetic play style and high-level athleticism has vaulted him up draft boards, and his attributes make him an ideal fit as a 3-technique in the Dallas defense. With some technical refinement from Rod Marinelli, Wren can blossom into a one-man wrecking crew.
59. Indianapolis Colts - Lonnie Johnson Jr., CB - Kentucky
60. Los Angeles Chargers - David Edwards, OT - Wisconsin
61. Kansas City Chiefs - Trayvon Mullen, CB - Clemson
62. New Orleans Saints - Blake Cashman, LB - Minnesota

67. San Francisco 49ers - Andy Isabella, WR - UMass
68. New York Jets - Yodny Cajuste, OT - West Virginia
69. Jacksonville Jaguars - Irv Smith Jr., TE - Alabama
70. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - David Montgomery, RB - Iowa State
71. Denver Broncos - Jace Sternberger, TE - Texas A&M
72. Cincinnati Bengals - Jaylon Ferguson, EDGE - Louisiana Tech
73. New England Patriots (from DET) - Preston Williams, WR - Colorado State
74. Buffalo Bills - JJ Arcega-Whiteside, WR - Stanford
75. Green Bay Packers - Dawson Knox, TE - Ole Miss
76. Washington Redskins - Mike Bell, S - Fresno State
77. Carolina Panthers - LJ Collier, EDGE - TCU
78. Miami Dolphins - Terry McLaurin, WR - Ohio State
79. Atlanta Falcons - D’Andre Walker, EDGE - Georgia
80. Cleveland Browns - Joejuan Williams, CB - Vanderbilt
81. Minnesota Vikings - Riley Ridley, WR - Georgia
82. Tennessee Titans - Dax Raymond, TE - Utah State
83. Pittsburgh Steelers - Bobby Okereke, LB - Stanford
84. Seattle Seahawks - Josh Oliver, TE - San Jose State
85. Baltimore Ravens - Kaleb McGary, OT - Washington
86. Houston Texans - Zach Allen, EDGE - Boston College
87. Chicago Bears - Sean Bunting, CB - Central Michigan
88. Detroit Lions (from PHI) - Kahale Warring, TE - San Diego State
89. Indianapolis Colts - David Long, CB - Michigan
90. Dallas Cowboys - Amani Hooker, S - Iowa
Even with the signing of Iloka, the Cowboys will want to get a safety at some point. With Amani Hooker slipping to 90, that time is now. Check out his full scouting report here, but Hooker is a prototypical box safety with ball hawk skills. His average athleticism is the only reason he’ll slip this far, but Hooker can share snaps with Iloka in 2019 and develop into the long-term starter opposite Xavier Woods, giving Kris Richard a young safety tandem with loads of potential.
91. Los Angeles Chargers - Tyree Jackson, QB - Buffalo
92. Kansas City Chiefs - Maxx Crosby, EDGE - Eastern Michigan
93. New York Jets (from NO) - Mecole Hardman, WR - Georgia
94. Jacksonville Jaguars - Trysten Hill, DT - UCF
95. Cleveland Browns (from NE) - Vosean Joseph, LB - Florida
96. Washington Redskins - Will Grier, QB - West Virginia
97. New England Patriots - Brett Rypien, QB - Boise State
98. Jacksonville Jaguars (from LAR) - DeMarkus Lodge, WR - Ole Miss
99. Los Angeles Rams - Oshane Ximines, EDGE - Old Dominion
100. Carolina Panthers - Kris Boyd, CB - Texas
101. New England Patriots - Joe Giles-Harris, LB - Duke
102. Baltimore Ravens - Ben Banogu, EDGE - TCU
Fourth Round
103. Arizona Cardinals - Ben Powers, OG - Oklahoma
104. San Francisco 49ers - Drue Tranquill, LB - Notre Dame
105. New York Jets - Anthony Nelson, EDGE - Iowa
106. Oakland Raiders - Jaquan Johnson, S - Miami
107. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Dre’Mont Jones, DL - Ohio State
108. New York Giants - Marquise Blair, S - Utah
109. Jacksonville Jaguars - Ugochukwu Amadi, S - Oregon
110. Cincinnati Bengals - David Long, LB - West Virginia
111. Detroit Lions - Michael Jackson, CB - Miami
112. Buffalo Bills - Michael Deiter, OT - Wisconsin
113. Baltimore Ravens (from DEN) - Dillon Mitchell, WR - Oregon
114. Green Bay Packers - Justin Hollins, EDGE - Oregon
115. Carolina Panthers - Gerald Willis III, DT - Miami
116. Miami Dolphins - Tytus Howard, OT - Alabama State
117. Atlanta Falcons - Damien Harris, RB - Alabama
118. Green Bay Packers (from WAS) - Ross Pierschbacher, OG - Alabama
119. Cleveland Browns - Mike Edwards, S - Kentucky
120. Minnesota Vikings - Connor McGovern, OG - Penn State
121. Tennessee Titans - Joe Jackson, EDGE - Miami
122. Pittsburgh Steelers - Dennis Daley, OT - South Carolina
123. Baltimore Ravens - Justice Hill, RB - Oklahoma
124. Seattle Seahawks - Jakobi Meyers, WR - NC State
125. Denver Broncos (from HOU) - Antoine Wesley, WR - Texas Tech
126. Chicago Bears - Sutton Smith, EDGE - Northern Illinois
127. Philadelphia Eagles - Trayveon Williams, RB - Texas A&M
128. Dallas Cowboys - Rodney Anderson, RB - Oklahoma
The Cowboys can’t keep feeding Zeke at the rate they’re going, and finding him a complementary back would help to preserve their star player. Rodney Anderson can be that and more. Based solely on talent, Anderson would probably be a first round pick, but he suffered season-ending injuries in three of his four years at Oklahoma, prompting concerns over durability. In a limited capacity with Dallas, Anderson won’t have to worry about a heavy workload, and can contribute in every facet of the running game, as well as catching passes out of the backfield.
129. Indianapolis Colts - Bobby Evans, OT - Oklahoma
130. Los Angeles Chargers - Beau Benzschawel, OG - Wisconsin
131. Buffalo Bills (from KC) - Devin Singletary, RB - Florida Atlantic
132. New York Giants (from NO) - Tyler Roemer, OT - San Diego State
133. Los Angeles Rams - Delvon Randall, S - Temple
134. New England Patriots - Montre Hartage, CB - Northwestern
135. Indianapolis Colts - Zach Gentry, TE - Michigan
136. Dallas Cowboys - Isaiah Johnson, CB - Houston
The Cowboys don’t have a real need at cornerback right now, as they have four starting-caliber corners between Byron Jones, Chidobe Awuzie, Anthony Brown, and Jourdan Lewis. However, they’re all currently on rookie contracts and with all the other big contract extensions Dallas will be giving out soon, at least one of those guys will have to go. At 6’2” and 208 pounds with 33” arms, Isaiah Johnson is the ideal Kris Richard corner. He can serve as a depth man for a year or two before being asked to step into a starter role down the road.
137. Atlanta Falcons - Alize Mack, TE - Notre Dame
138. Philadelphia Eagles - Tyree St. Louis, OT - Miami
Fifth Round
139. Arizona Cardinals - Khalen Saunders, DT - Western Illinois
140. Oakland Raiders (from NYJ) - Nate Davis, OL - Charlotte
141. Pittsburgh Steelers (from OAK) - Daylon Mack, DT - Texas A&M
142. New York Giants (from SF) - Daniel Wise, DT - Kentucky
143. New York Giants - Darius Slayton, WR - Auburn
144. Cleveland Browns (from JAX) - Kingsley Keke, DT - Texas A&M
145. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Evan Worthington, S - Colorado
146. Detroit Lions - Isaiah Buggs, DT - Alabama
147. Buffalo Bills - Gary Johnson, LB - Texas
148. Denver Broncos - Jalen Jelks, EDGE - Oregon
149. Cincinnati Bengals - Kaden Smith, TE - Stanford
150. Green Bay Packers - DeMarcus Christmas, DT - Florida State
151. Miami Dolphins - Te’Von Coney, LB - Notre Dame
152. Atlanta Falcons - Bunchy Stallings, OL - Kentucky
153. Washington Redskins - Kendall Sheffield, CB - Ohio State
154. Carolina Panthers - Jordan Ta’amu, QB - Ole Miss
155. Cleveland Browns - Jahlani Tavai, LB - Hawaii
156. Denver Broncos (from MIN) - Terronne Prescod, OL - NC State
157. Tennessee Titans - Germaine Pratt, LB - NC State
158. Buffalo Bills (from PIT) - Wyatt Ray, EDGE - Boston College
159. Seattle Seahawks - Derrek Thomas, CB - Baylor
160. Baltimore Ravens - Dontavius Russell, DT - Auburn
161. Houston Texans - Jordan Scarlett, RB - Florida
162. Chicago Bears - Chuma Edoga, OT - USC
163. Philadelphia Eagles - Tre Watson, LB - Maryland
164. Indianapolis Colts - Chase Hansen, LB - Utah
165. Dallas Cowboys - Stanley Morgan Jr., WR - Nebraska
This is a very high-value pick given the talent of Stanley Morgan Jr., Brad Kelly of The Draft Network called Morgan “possibly the most refined and nuanced route runner in entire 2019 NFL Draft class.” He was mostly used as an outside receiver at Nebraska, but has the potential to be effective in the slot due to his route running and shiftiness. With the signing of Cobb, Morgan won’t be asked to do too much too soon, and he can work on the more nuanced aspects of the position. Morgan represents the future at slot receiver, with Cobb and Tavon Austin likely getting most of the snaps in 2019.
166. Los Angeles Chargers - Donnie Lewis, CB - Tulane
167. Kansas City Chiefs - KeeSean Johnson, WR - Fresno State
168. New Orleans Saints - Terry Godwin, WR - Georgia
169. Los Angeles Rams - Terry Beckner, DL - Missouri
170. Cleveland Browns (from NE) - Anthony Johnson, WR - Buffalo
171. New York Giants - TJ Edwards, LB - Wisconsin
172. Atlanta Falcons - Oli Udoh, OT - Elon
173. Washington Redskins - Chris Slayton, DL - Syracuse

177. New Orleans Saints (from NYJ) - Deshaun Davis, LB - Auburn
178. Jacksonville Jaguars - Derrick Baity, CB - Kentucky
179. Arizona Cardinals (from TB) - Drew Sample, TE - Washington
180. New York Giants - Travis Fulgham, WR - Old Dominion
181. Buffalo Bills - Sheldrick Redwine, S - Miami
182. Denver Broncos - Isaiah Prince, OT - Ohio State
183. Cincinnati Bengals - Ulysees Gilbert III, LB - Akron
184. Detroit Lions - Jarrett Stidham, QB - Auburn
185. Green Bay Packers - Ryan Finley, QB - NC State

210. Cincinnati Bengals - Lester Cotton, OL - Alabama
211. Cincinnati Bengals - Will Harris, S - Boston College
212. San Francisco 49ers - Alex Bars, OG - Notre Dame
213. Cincinnati Bengals - Tyre Brady, WR - Marshall
214. Kansas City Chiefs - Darius West, S - Kentucky
Seventh Round
215. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from AZ) - Ryan Bates, OT - Penn State
216. Kansas City Chiefs (from SF) - Nate Herbig, OL - Stanford
217. New York Jets - Karan Higdon, RB - Michigan
218. Oakland Raiders - Anthony Ratliff-Williams, WR - North Carolina
219. Pittsburgh Steelers (from TB) - Jamal Peters, CB - Mississippi State

230. Atlanta Falcons - Ryan Davis, WR - Auburn
231. New Orleans Saints (from CLE) - Ryquell Armstead, RB - Temple
232. New York Giants (from MIN) - Tyron Johnson, WR - Oklahoma State
233. Miami Dolphins (from TEN) - Devine Ozigbo, RB - Nebraska
234. Miami Dolphins (from PIT) - Tim Harris, CB - Virginia
235. Oakland Raiders (from SEA) - Clayton Thorson, QB - Northwestern
236. Jacksonville Jaguars (from BAL) - JoJo McIntosh, S - Washington
237. Denver Broncos (from HOU) - Mike Weber, RB - Ohio State
238. Chicago Bears - Donald Parham, TE - Stetson
239. New England Patriots (from PHI) - Miles Boykin, WR - Notre Dame
240. Indianapolis Colts - Javon Patterson, OG - Ole Miss
241. Dallas Cowboys - Austin Bryant, EDGE - Clemson
Even if the Cowboys don’t get Quinn, they have Hyder as a solid option at the right defensive end spot in addition to Taco Charlton and Dorance Armstrong Jr.. Even still, Dallas will want some more options and Austin Bryant is that. He may be the most underwhelming member of the Clemson defensive line from last year, but he offers some raw ability as an edge rusher out wide. He could benefit from the tutelage of Rod Marinelli, and while he’s a bit of a project most players at this point in the draft are.

249. Arizona Cardinals - Iman Marshall, CB - USC
250. Minnesota Vikings - Terrill Hanks, LB - New Mexico State
251. Los Angeles Rams - Elijah Holyfield, RB - Georgia
252. New England Patriots - Greg Gaines, DT - Washington
253. Washington Redskins - Dakota Allen, LB - Texas Tech
254. Arizona Cardinals - Benny Snell, RB - Kentucky
