Revenant Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well I am sure this is an act in futility as I will probably get most of it wrong, but here is my attempt with explanations. Cuts- Crawford (June 1) Scandrick (June 1) James Hannah Chaz Green Datone Jones Extended: Zack Martin Trades: Dez Bryant to Jacksonville for 4th round pick (Jacksonville signs Cousins, but gets desperate when they can't resign their top receivers) Beasley and Dallas' 4th round pick for Patriots 3rd (younger replacement for Amendola who is a free agent) Terrance Williams traded during training camp for a 2019 5th round pick (assuming this happens after another team's receiver is injured in preseason; alternatively he could be cut) David Irving is given a second round tender and is signed by Detroit Free Agents: Tre Boston FS Bennie Logan DT Alex Okafor DE John Brown WR Demarcus Lawrence DE Jonathon Cooper OG Keith Smith FB Joe Looney C LP Ladoceur LS Anthony Hitchens LB Cameron Fleming OT Given the trade of Bryant and the above cuts, we do not need to restructure any contracts. Although this could be good in the long run, I would rather restructure Frederick and sign either a bigger name FS or DT. However, I doubt it happens and therefore have not included it in my mock. Alternatively I could see them signing Andre Smith instead of Fleming and Donte Moncrief instead of John Brown, but I simply went with my preferences. Restructures: None needed Draft (For the most part I used Drafttek's rankings. However, I did take some liberties as I think it has certain players over and/or under valued.) 1. trade back with NYJ who has to trade up for the best remaining quarterback above playoffs teams that could take a qb. I see us getting NYJ's 2nd, Cincinnati's 3rd which I have being traded to the Jets earlier in the draft, and 2019 1st. 2. (from New York Jets) Marcus Davenport DE - I think he falls out of the first round due to low level of competition, lack of polish, and having up and down days at the senior bowl. 2. Will Hernandez OG 2. (from Detroit/Irving tender) trade back with Carolina for 2019 3rd 2. (from Carolina) James Washington WR- I think he falls due to him being under six fee tall. Honestly, I have seen people predicting him being drafted between the 1st and 4th rounds. This essentially splits the difference. 2. (Dallas trades Cincinnati's 3rd round pick received via NYJ and New England's 3rd round pick for Atlanta's 2nd round pick) Leighton Vander Esch LB 3. Dallas Goedert TE 4. (from Jacksonville) Jaleel Scott WR 4. (comp) Tyrell Crosby OT 4. (comp) James Hearns LB 5. (comp) Breeland Sparks DT 5. (comp) Levi Wallace CB 6. Daylong Mack DT 7. Kyle Hicks RB Roster (rookies in italics, starter in bold,) OFFENSE QB- Prescott, Rush RB- Elliot, Smith, Smith, Hicks TE- Witten, Goedert, Schwaim, Gathers WR- Washington, John Brown, Scott, Switzer, Noah Brown OT- Smith, Collins, Fleming, Crosby OG- Martin, Hernandez, Cooper C- Frederick, Looney DEFENSE FS- Boston, Heath, SS- Woods, Frazier CB- Awuzie, Lewis, Byron Jones, Brown, Wallace LB- Lee, Hitchens, Smith, Wilson, Esch, Hearns DT1- Logan, Ash, Mack DT3- Collins, Sparks DE- Lawrence, Charlton, Davenport, Okafor, Tapper, Gregory SPECIAL LS- LP K- Bailey P- Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_OutLaw7 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'd be pretty furious if we got rid of our top 3 WR's this off-season. Not only are we signaling that this next year is a a complete waste but I'd imagine this would screw our cap for a bit. And if we are going to blow things up - it doesn't make sense to blow any money on major FA's. In terms of the draft. I love it. Davenport. Hernandez. LVE. Washington, Goedert , Crosby. All fantastic. All might end up in round 1, too. But that alone would be a hell of a draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I for one love the creativity, but with so many draft picks before the proposed trade down I am thinking too much quantity not enough quality. Though I think the effort is solid overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony7188 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Wow. I would be furious if they traded down in the draft like that. Nice picks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be an outstanding pick. I just can’t see him falling to the 3rd round. I’m hard pressed to believe he falls further than the early 2nd.

I still don’t typically trust many small school players and would typically avoid them if at all possible, but he’s a good prospect. Not a Day 1 plug-in starter, but a very good prospect.
