Cowboys' Mock Draft: Defense, Weapons, Depth

0:00On April 20th, draft weeks upon us, and I've cooked up my final 7-round mock for the Dallas Cowboys, complete with a trade-up move. They swap spots with Cleveland to grab linebacker sunny styles from Ohio State at pick 6 in the first round. This guy's a blue chip defender, perfect scheme fit for their biggest need on defense, ready to lead from day 1. Building on that, they stay aggressive in round 2. Picking up cornerback Colton Hood from Tennessee at number 39, still via Cleveland. Hood's a man-coverage beast with serious physicality, sliding right into the starting mix alongside guys like Dayrun Bland. Then in round 3, via San Francisco at 92. They snag wide receiver Elijah Serrat from Indiana, a 6-foot-2 contested catch machine too. JuSup, Dak Prescott's options. Mid-Rounds get depth heavy in round 5, with safety, Jelon Kilgore from South Carolina at 152. Interior offensive lineman Armage Reed Adams from Texas A&M at 177.

1:02And cornerback TJ Hall from Iowa at 180. These are value steals. Kilgore's a young nickel project, Reed Adams bolsters the line, and Hall brings run defense and versatility. Late, they cap it in round 7 at 218, with quarterback Luke Altmeyer from Illinois, a pocket savvy backup battle edition with upside like. Their past QB bets. Undrafted free agency targets include defensive lineman Renee Konga from Louisville, Ed rusher Nigelie Kelly from UCF, running back EJ Smith from Perpira, Texas A&M, and a handful more like receivers, Ashton Hawkins and Jordan Hudson. This Moxtack defense early adds weapons and depth, setting Dallas up for a reloaded roster that contends now while building smart for the long. Hall.
