If you thought we were done with mock drafts here on BTB, boy, were you ever wrong. The mock drafters across the country are pumping out mock drafts like there was no tomorrow - or rather, like there was no yesterday.
In any case, here’s a short summary of 11 second-round mock drafts that have popped up today. Our own David Howman put up a comprehensive look at the best remaining available prospects earlier today, but we’ll take a stroll through Mock Draft Land one more time, reviewing the very latest mock draft goodness, including one that has the Cowboys selecting a running back in the third round. No joke.
44. Dallas: Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia
Another big, physical, man-coverage specialist at corner for the Cowboys in Round 2.
75. Dallas: Alim McNeil, DL, NC State
McNeill is a pocket-pushing nose tackle who can be disruptive in Dallas right away.
84. Dallas: D’Ante Smith, OL, East Carolina
Smith has stellar upside at guard or tackle.
99. Dallas: Hunter Long, TE, Boston College
I know the Cowboys like Blake Jarwin but that doesn’t mean they’ll ignore the tight end spot all draft.
44. Dallas: Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington
The Cowboys continue to restock on defense, where Onwuzurike’s ability to get upfield could remind new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn of his former star in Atlanta, Grady Jarrett.
75. Dallas: Jevon Holland, S, Oregon
Running a Dan Quinn defense requires investing in heady playmakers who can shift throughout the defensive backfield. Holland can easily flip to the slot and broke up a ton of passes during his time with the Ducks, providing some semblance of comfort to a threadbare secondary.
84. Dallas: Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford
Dan Quinn lands a 6’ 1” cornerback out of Stanford with great hands and a nose for picking off footballs. Sound familiar? It’s worth a shot. Dallas wanted a cornerback at the top of the draft but after getting edged by the Broncos and Panthers, they settled for some mid-round fliers.
99. Dallas: Ben Cleveland, G, Georgia
The Cowboys have it as good as it gets at guard, but Cleveland is too big and too nasty to pass up. If they’re going to rebuild this offensive line brick by brick, he’s worth a mid-round flier.
44. Dallas Cowboys: Joseph Ossai, EDGE, Texas
The Cowboys need traditional pass-rush help after going with another linebacker, Micah Parsons, in Round 1. Ossai can excel in multiple spots in their 4-3 front.
75. Dallas Cowboys: Paris Ford, S, Pittsburgh
The Cowboys have seen Jeff Heath and Xavier Woods leave in recent offseasons and can get fine versatile safety help here.
84. Dallas Cowboys: Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford
The Cowboys get a good value in addressing their biggest need with strength and size to complement Trevon Diggs.
99. Dallas Cowboys: Jalen Twyman, DT, Pittsburgh
The Cowboys dip into more front-seven help after adding Parsons and thinking about edge rusher and cornerback with their next two picks. Twyman is an undersized but quick tackle with some natural run-stopping skills and pass-rush upside.
44. Dallas Cowboys - Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame
75. Dallas Cowboys - Levi Onwuzurike, DL, Washington
84. Dallas Cowboys - Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina
99. Dallas Cowboys - Kendrick Green, IOL, Illinois
44. Dallas: Jevon Holland, S, Oregon
75. Dallas: Milton Williams, DT, Louisiana Tech
84. Dallas: Shaun Wade, CB, Ohio State
99. Dallas: Marlon Tuipulotu, DT, USC
44. Dallas Cowboys - Asante Samuel Jr., CB, Florida State
Dallas couldn’t grab a top-tier cornerback prospect in Round 1, so they’ll grab the next best option here. Samuel profiles as an excellent fit in Dan Quinn’s defense opposite Trevon Diggs.
75. Dallas Cowboys - Quincy Roche, Edge, Miami
84. Dallas Cowboys - Hunter Long, TE, Boston College
99. Dallas Cowboys - Elijah Molden, CB, Washington
TouchdownWire (2nd round only)
44. Dallas Cowboys: Kelvin Joseph, CB, Kentucky
Having missed out on the cornerback run at the start of the draft — settling for Micah Parsons in the process — the Dallas Cowboys continue to add to their defense, selecting Kentucky cornerback Kelvin Joseph. He has solid size for the position, with some impressive burst and good ball skills at the catch point.
Akron Beacon Journal (2nd round only)
44. Dallas Cowboys: Kelvin Joseph, CB, Kentucky
NJ.com (2nd round only)
44. Dallas Cowboys: Kelvin Joseph, CB, Kentucky: Dallas loves athletic cornerbacks and after losing out on both Jaycee Horn and Patrick Surtain Thursday, grab the speedy Joseph Friday.
ESPN (2nd round only)
44. Dallas Cowboys: Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington
The Cowboys allowed 2,541 rushing yards last season — the second most in a season in franchise history — and defensive tackle is one of their most pressing needs. Onwuzurike has good upper-body strength and active hands to disengage from blocks.
USAToday (2nd round only)
44. Dallas Cowboys – OT Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma State
A mauler who could help to both get RB Ezekiel Elliott going in 2021 while upgrading the protection around $40-million-a-year QB Dak Prescott.
