My Yearly Report on What I Am Hearing About the Draft
Every year I try and share the info I've gotten regarding the Draft. I know a lot of you have been sending me PMs asking for what I'm hearing this year. My blackberry has been buzzing. Here's the latest scoop. The first thing I'd like to confirm is that Jerry is getting ALOT of calls about... -
Post your do-overs
OK, this is easy to do a couple of years from now. However, if you could re-do the Cowboys draft today, based upon where people went, what would you do? Two scenarios: 1) Stay put and draft just as Dallas did. You can keep the trades or stay at the original spots. 2) Assume Cleveland would... -

4/3 Draft
I keep hearing more stuff about linebackers. I'm not sure I'm sold on that, but here's something with that scenario. Trade down with Cleveland for their late 3 (Pittsburgh's) and swap positions in 2. 1. Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State 2. Scott Crichton, DE, Oregon State 3. Billy Turner... -
3/29 Mock
Trade down with Cleveland for an additional 3 1. Dee Ford, DE, Auburn - boozeman says he is a ******. Should fit right in. Plenty of strong side DE types in this draft, but not many quick twitch, speed rushers. 2. Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia - Free's replacement 3. Kelcy Quarles, DT... -
Mock - 3/21
Football discussions have been slow. There look to be a ton of 1 tech types and strong side defensive end types in this draft. After the Melton signing, I really think DE might be the biggest need. Particularly, a weak side/quick twitch type. I'm just not sure that player is there in 1... -
Mock - 3/16
For purposes of this thread, let's assume Melton signs this week in Dallas. 1) Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri 2) Morgan Moses, OT, West Virginia 3) Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson 4) Caraun Reid, DT, Princeton 5) Trai Turner, OG, LSU 7) Derrell Johnson, LB, East Carolina 7) Tom Savage, QB... -
Mock - 3/5
Not necessarily what I'd do, but I could see this line of thinking. Bring back Hatcher (2-3 year deal) and Spencer (1 year deal) 1. Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame 2. Kareem Martin, DE, North Carolina 3. Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson 4. Jordan Tripp, LB, Montana 5. Justin Ellis, DT, Louisiana... -

Move back with Cleveland for a 3. Assume we get 3 7ths as comps Go off of NFLDS rankings 1. Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville 2. Dominique Easley, DT, Florida 3. Kelcy Quarles, DT, South Carolina 3. Kareem Martin, DE, North Carolina 4. Jawuan James, OT, Tennessee 5. Brett Smith, QB, Wyoming 7... -
Mock - 2/9
I'm a big fan of the move down scenario since Dallas has so many holes to fill and I really think, in a lot of cases, that value of player at 16/17 isn't that much different than later in the first. There are always draft misses, so the more picks you have, the better the chance of hitting. I... -
Mock - 2/2
Shuffle around enough money to sign Mike Neal & Corey Wooton in free agency Move down again with SF and pick up another 3rd 1. Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State 2. Jackson Jeffcoat, DE, Texas 3. Jimmie Ward, SS, Northern Illinois 3. Jeremiah Attaochu, LB, Georgia Tech 4. Will Clarke, DE... -
Offseason Plan and Mock
Will have to do some bargain shopping this year. The Ware scenario will never happen, I'm sure. Actually none of this will, but it entertains me to do it. Trade Ware to Jacksonville for a 3 and 4 and a swap of 2s. The Jags have something like $50 million in cap space and an extra 4th from... -
1/8 Mock
Move back with KC to pick up their 3 and our original 6 1. RaShade Hagemann, DT, Minnesota 2. Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh 3. Dion Bailey, FS, USC 3. DeMarcus Lawrence, DE, Boise State 4. Chris Watt, OG, Notre Dame 5. Christian Kirksey, LB, Iowa 6. Josh Huff, WR, Oregon 7. Marcus Williams, CB... -
2014 Offseason Plan and Mock
Restructure Romo, Carr, Lee and Witten. Cut Bernardeau, Austin (take full hit, don't make him a post June 1 hit), Costa and Orton. That should give you enough money to get cap compliant, sign your rookies and maybe sign one or two mid-tier/bargain bin free agents. Free Agents: Kenny Britt -... -
Another Mock
Miami has a slew of picks this year and has made mention of using them to move up. Let's say they want to move back into 1. 18 for their 2 2s and a 4. Extremely unlikely this ever happens, but something to look at. 2 (42) - Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M 2 (47) - Kawann Short, DT, Purdue 2... -
4/11 Mock
I still like a potential trade scenario. Move down with Miami for their 2 2s (43, 54) and a 3 (82) 2 (43) - Jonathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State 2 (47) - Justin Pugh, OT/OG, Syracuse 2 (54) - Travis Frederick, OG/C, Wisconsin 3 (80) - Giovani Bernard, RB, UNC 3 (82) - Travis Kelce, TE... -
4/6 - Mock
Move back in 1 with SF. Go from #18 to #31 and acquire #61 and #237 1 (31) - DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson 2 (47) - Eric Reid, S, LSU 2 (61) - Travis Frederick, C/G, Wisconsin 3 (80) - Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma State 4 (114) - Akeem Spence, DT, Illinois 5 (151) - Gerald Hodges, LB, Penn State...
