Cowboys writer releases final 7-round mock draft

Frisco, Texas – Draft day has finally arrived.

As always, DallasCowboys.com's writers have selected the entire draft and presented a mock draft of all seven rounds.

Let's take a look at what I feel will happen to the Cowboys this weekend.

• 1(24): Tyler Guyton, OT; oklahoma
• 2 (56): Edgerrin Cooper, LBTexas A&M
• 3 (87): Marshawn Lloyd, RB; University of Southern California
• 5 (174): McKinley Jackson, DT; Texas A&M
• 6 (216): Bab Means, WR; pittsburgh
• 7 (233): Andrew Coker, OTT.C.U.
• 7 (244): Miles Battle, CB; Utah

analysis: We still see a strong possibility that Dallas will try to trade first and acquire more selections over the weekend, but there is a possibility that Dallas will be forced to stay and pick at No. 24. There are some realistic scenarios. This is one of them. If Graham Burton can break through teams with poor offensive lines like Pittsburgh (20 years old), Miami (21 years old), and Philadelphia (22 years old), he will be a no-brainer for Dallas. His flexibility on the offensive line gives him the freedom to address other needs throughout the remainder of the draft.

• 1(30) (via KC): Jordan Morgan, OL; arizona
• 2(56): Jonathan Brooks, RB; texas
• 3(87): Jalen McMillan, WR; Washington
• 3 (95) (via KC): Trevin Wallace, LB; kentucky
• 4 (131) (via KC): McKinley Jackson, DT; Texas A&M
• 5(174): Hunter Nurzad, C; pennsylvania state university
• 6(216): Josh Newton, CB TCU
• 7 (233): Jordan McGee, LB; temple
• 7(244): Javonte Jean Baptiste, EDGE, notre dame cathedral

analysis: In my seventh-round mock, the Cowboys would dance with the Chiefs in the first round and move back to No. 32 for a third- and fourth-round pick. The Cowboys added two offensive linemen and two linebackers, helping add depth to the position groups they needed most last season. An exciting wild card would be to use the flexibility of an additional third-round pick to acquire offensive playmaker Jalen McMillan. He's Jaylen, the fourth receiver on the roster.

• 1 (from 31-49ers): Jackson Powers Johnson, C. Oregon
• 2(56): Tybondre Sweat, DT; texas
• 3 (73 – from Lions): Dominique Puni, OT/OL; Kansas
• 4(87): Cedric Gray, LB; north carolina
• 5 (from 94 – 49ers): Braylon Allen, WR; wisconsin
• 6 (108 – from Vikings): Brenden Rice, WR; University of Southern California
• 7 (178 – from Steelers): Tyrone Hopper, LB; missouri
• 8 (233): Law Torrence, CB; arizona
• 9 (244): Khalid Duke, EDGE, Kansas

analysis: There was no interest in leaving with just seven players. I would deal with SF and DET prior to the 1st round pick and get two 3rd picks, then MIN and an early 6th round pick to get a drop off that might make waves on this roster. We worked to acquire WR candidates. From the brutality of adding JPJ and Puni to the offensive line and doubling up on a high-ceiling player at LB to solving the RB dilemma and using a 7th round flyer for a quiet need, this feat leads Dallas to free agency. Launch it using this method. Maybe not.

• 1(24): Amarius Mims, OT; georgia
• 2 (56): Zack Frazier, C; west virginia
• 3 (87): Jace McClellan, RB; alabama state
• 5 (174): Tybondre Sweat, DT; texas
• 6 (216): Edejuan Urofosio, LB; Washington
• 7 (233): Jarix Hunt, Delaware houston christian
• 7 (244): Jordan Whittington, WR; texas

analysis: I'm not crazy about this draft, but I think the Cowboys will have to make an offensive tackle if things go this way. They may not want to get there, but this is the year they have to fill some needs, and acquiring a player like Mims will definitely help now and later. If Frazier was still around, it would be a big acquisition, and the same goes for Sweat, who probably won't last this long, but I expect some trades throughout the draft. If there was one position I didn't take out, it would be cornerback. I think they could get one early in the second, but it just didn't fit my board at all. Please be careful about that.
