These are my favorite NFL prospects by position right now. Feel free to post your own or critique/praise mine.
Quarterback – Andrew Luck 6’4”/235 Stanford
It’s cliché to say now but he is the best college quarterback prospect I have ever seen and that includes Troy Aikman and Peyton Manning. Whichever franchise lands him gets an immediate game changer. The Cowboys have almost zero chance at landing him but he is too good to not include on my list. He will go #1 overall, no matter which team ends up with the pick.
Runningback – Trent Richardson 5’11”/224 Alabama
I would have been begging for this pick had we not just invested a recent high pick on DeMarco Murray. The kid is a freak in the weight room and will be a workhorse at the next level.
Wide Receiver – Nick Toon 6’2”/220 Wisconsin
Alshon Jeffery and Justin Blackmon are the top 2 guys but I like Toon. I’d really like it if he somehow slipped to the 3rd round and the Cowboys took him.
Tight End – David Paulson 6’3”/242 Oregon
Not a great draft for TE but with the likely departure of Martellus Bennett we may need to look here. Paulson isn’t a superstar but is very solid blocker and receiver.
Offensive Line – Peter Konz (C) 6’5”/315 Wisconsin
Konz was neck-and-neck with Ohio State’s Michael Brewster but Konz has really impressed me in his last 2 games. Either player would solidify the Center position for the Cowboys for the next decade.
Defensive Line – Jesse Williams (NT and DE) 6’4”/320 Alabama
A bit of a sleeper here who may not be come season’s end. He’s a JuCo transfer originally from Australia. He’s strong, surprisingly quick, and a little bit crazy.
Linebacker – Vontaze Burfict (ILB) 6’3”/250 Arizona State
Speaking of crazy. IMO he is exactly the kind of nasty, physical defender our defense needs. He is a bigger, stronger, faster Ray Lewis.
Cornerback – Brandon Boykin 5’10”/183 Georgia
If he was 2 inches talker he’s be a surefire 1st rounder. He still may fly up draft boards once they see what he does at the Combine. One of the better return men in college as well.
Safety – Markelle Martin 6’1”/198 Oklahoma State
I’m undecided between Martin and TJ McDonald but to protect you all from my USC homering I’ll go with Martin. He has great speed (4.47 40) and is not afraid to throw his 198 lbs. around. He would give the Cowboys the first pure Free Safety in years.
