The COWBOYS Need To Draft THESE PLAYERS

ROUND 1 (Pick 12)

Walter Nolen - DT

Nolen feels like a Cowboy already; A gritty and tough freak athlete. The Cowboys will likely draft another receiver they don't really need instead of th8is stud in a HUGE position of need. The Cowboys last remaining good D-lineman is Micah Parsons and he may not be there for too much longer anyway...

Matthew Golden - WR

If the Cowboys refuse to take Nolen for one of several reasons I predict they will, Golden will likely be the pick. A reliable and versatile receiver, Golden's true calling is a slot playmaker with ability to be a burner on the outside as well. Think of KaVontae Turpin but with actual receiving ability and not JUST speed.

ROUND 2 (Pick 44)

TreVeyon Henderson - RB

The Cowboys NEED to draft an RB in this draft and Henderson would be a home run. Maybe the best big play ability in the draft, Henderson's speed and pass catching along with a wealth of experience against great competition and in huge games could make him the next great Cowboys Running Back.

Nic Scourton - Edge

ROUND 3 (Pick 76)

Kaleb Johnson - RB

If they don't get Henderson, Kaleb Johnson makes a lot of sense too in a different way. As violent of a runner as Ezekiel Elliot ever was, Kaleb is too but with a bigger frame. Johnson will never be a pass catcher, but he does embody the spirit of tough runners that has always followed this franchise.

Tre Harris - WR

Another offensive weapon. Tre Harris could be a diamond in the rough in this draft and would make an excellent WR2 in Dallas. Harris is a prototype "X" receiver with hiccups in speed and intermediate route running. It will take some time before Harris is ready to lead the Cowboys but he would make a contribution right away nonetheless.

Josh Farmer - DT

This is my way of saying the Cowboys should draft a DT, RB and WR with their first 3 picks. Farmer is extremely strong and is a good run defender. He has decent agility but not enough to ever be a dominant pass rusher or move to the 5-tech. Still, the Cowboys need to improve the interior and Farmer would be a great start.

Jared Ivey - Edge

Here is a flyer I would really like for the Cowboys; Jared Ivey has a lot of similar traits Dexter Lawrence once flashed but with less explosion. Ivey's strength and bend coupled with improved production every year could make him an immediate rotating D-End with Starting potential soon.
