Some of my “rules”:
• I use GBNReport for draft order. They currently have us with the 7th pick.
• I use CBSSports.com (NFLDraftScout.com) as a general guideline for prospect rankings.
• I will assume that all conditions of traded draft picks were met.
1 (7) Jared Goff QB 6-4/210 Cal
• Where’s my impact player? With Bosa, Ramsey, and Nkemdiche off the board, it’s time for the Cowboys to bite the bullet and draft Romo’s eventual replacement (Memphis QB Paxton Lynch is also off the board). In 2014, Goff threw for 35 TD and only 7 INT’s; his ratio is much closer this year (24 to 12), but his QB rating is actually higher (2015 - 148.3, 2014 – 147.6). He’s on pace to throw for over 4000 yards. Goff gets to learn behind Romo and will inherit a talented offensive line in their prime when he is ready to take over. This is the pick some will complain about now and we all love in 3 years. It was very hard to pass on Notre Dame MLB Jaylon Smith here.
2 (38) Jeremy Cash SS 6-1/208 Duke
• According to the CBS board, who has Cash ranked as the 57th overall player, this would be a reach. He also isn’t the free safety the team desperately needs. What Cash is though is an impact player and difference maker at strong safety. He has 16.5 tackles-for-loss this season, 3rd highest in the nation. He has racked up 177 tackles, 8 sacks, 9 forced fumbles, and 5 INT’s over the last 3 years at Duke, after transferring from Ohio State. Considered Boise State free safety Darian Thompson here.
3 (70) Braxton Miller WR 6-1/215 Ohio State
• With apologies to Dez Bryant, Miller offers a huge X-factor to this offense. Unlike past QB conversions, Braxton has been working on the move to WR for over a year. The 2x Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year (as a QB) has game-changing speed (4.3 40 time), and will contribute at the next level as slot WR, KR, and as a Wildcat QB.
4 (102) Jeremy Cutrer CB 6-2/173 Middle Tennessee State
• This kid is my Josh Norman-level sleeper this year. In watching Blue Raider safety Kevin Byard, Cutrer kept jumping off the film. I spoke with the Middle Tennessee State defensive coordinator Steve Ellis and he says Cutrer is possibly the best DB he’s coached. He has been named Conference USA Player of the Week twice this year, once for defense and once for special teams. He was a 4-star recruit and LSU verbal before academics forced him to go the junior college route.
5 (traded to Oakland)
6 (176 from Oakland) Claude Pelon 6-4/300 USC
• This would be a dream come true for me since I coached Claude in 2013. Claude is a big, athletic defensive lineman who has played 3Tech, 1Tech, 5Tech, and NT. He has some of the quickest, most violent hands I’ve seen in football, and has a knack for blocking field goals/extra points. I see him playing the 1Tech in a 4-3 scheme in the NFL.
6 (traded to San Francisco)
7 (traded to Seattle)
