2022 Draft Big Boards, Position Rankings & Mocks

[Cowboysrock55]

I don’t even want to imagine what Olave would look like in Green Bay. He’d put up monster numbers if Rodgers is throwing him the ball.

Yep, I know it's excessive but it's why I'd still love to see a guy like that here.

Fuck yeah. A guy who runs in the high 4.3s/low 4.4s, has serious breakaway speed and is a superb route runner? I’d love to have him on the team.

[Angrymesscan]

Jordan Davis rated as 2nd DT, there's still hope we get a shot at him.

 

[Smitty]

Kenny Pickett being the #1 QB is hilarious, that guy is a career journeyman in the NFL.

Shoulda been Howell's spot and he actually has a chance to be a good NFL QB, but his OL and WRs were completely nonexistent this year and got him demolished.

I think he could be a Cousins-type, a hyper-efficient guy whose stats look better than the actual product. A guy who will keep a team competitive and make the playoffs maybe 40% of the time or whatever, but ultimately isn't likely to ever win it all or consistently lead a team that is top 5-7 in the league unless he has a completely dominant roster around him.

But yea, this is what you get in the worst QB class in a decade.

Yeah it's just a bad QB class. Some guys might become starters in the right situation and perform well but I don't see a first round QB and I definitely don't see any QBs that are going to pull their teams out of the dumpster because of their elite skill set.

Yea there aren't any, Pickett is limited physically and is a one year wonder with very little success prior to his 5th year. Corral is basically a poor man's Zach Wilson whose college game relied heavily on his legs but he doesn't have the speed or size to do that in the NFL. Willis is more raw than Justin Fields. Ridder is meh overall, he's just kind of there surrounded by a dominant team (relative to 99% of their competition).

It's just the worst QB class since the year Eric Fisher went 1st overall.

 

[shoop]

This would be the year that a team should just wait a take a shot at a Dak-esque QB in the mid rounds.except there isn’t one. Wow this class really sucks. Minus a surprise coming out of nowhere.
There are 3 QBs over 6-2.
Ridder, Glass, and Strong. If I needed a QB I would pay a lot of attention to these guys. We are seeing sub 6’2” QBs be successful now but it is just one more hurdle to overcome.

 

[boozeman]

Late to the party, pal.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Late to the party, pal.

Yeah that guy is really good and we have no shot.

 

[Simpleton]

Late to the party, pal.

Just studied a S that the Cowboys need to pair with Jayron Kearse. Kyle Hamilton Notre Dame is the guy. Makes some crazy athletic plays plus tackles well.

Just studied a DE that the Cowboys need to pair with DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory. Aidan Hutchinson Michigan is the guy. Makes some crazy athletic plays plus tackles well.

Fucking idiot.

 

[boozeman]

 

[Cotton]

Perfect fit. They're both used to coaching high schoolers.

 

[boozeman]

Dream on.

 

[Simpleton]

Dream on.

I wouldn't be shocked if he fell depending on how he tests. If he measures at barely 6-0 and doesn't run a sub-4.6 I could easily see him dropping, and I'd happily snap him up at 26 or whatever.

 

[boozeman]

I would not like this draft.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I would not like this draft.

Fuck corner. It's the one spot where we have a young talented guy in Bossman and don't stand to lose anyone in free agency.

Alabama LBers are meh at best. Luckily these mocks are total shots in the dark but this would be a very disappointing offseason for us. And lets face it, 90% of the offseason as a Cowboys fan is the draft.

Also it's like every year, just mock a corner to us in the first round. Seems like it is never ending.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Yeah, I'm not on the Anti CB bandwagon but why would we take one at #24 when we don't need one? That's ridiculous. We need OL, LB, and DL most of all.

Oh I have no problem with corners like some. But like you I don't see the need. So why would I mock him to us? Is he some supreme talent and massive steal at 24? Seems like that's the area he should go.
