Free agency for 2017 is officially underway, but don’t expect the Dallas Cowboys to be very active in the first couple days. They are going to wait and let the market kind of settle down before attempting to fill some of their needs to their roster. That is why I thought it would be a really good time to do a 7-round post-combine mock draft for the Cowboys, especially with the combine still fresh on our minds.
We still don’t quite know what positions the Dallas Cowboys will address in free agency, but we know their positions of need. It’s those positions that I will be focusing on in this mock draft, but unfortunately it is nearly impossible to draft starters with every pick, although they came close in 2016.

I am in love with Fabian Moreau. I was so disappointed that he performed so well at the combine. I was hoping to snag him in the 3rd or at least in the second, but it’s clear we have to take him in the 1st. Godwin in the 2nd is a nice get and will replace Williams beautifully. After that, the only other pick I’m thrilled with is the last one: Muhammed. Nice diamond-in-the-rough there. Another one to think of is Joe Mathis from Washington. Before his injury, he was on par with Garrett as a player, although he didn’t have the junior season that Garrett had. Apparently Mathis grew up a lot before his senior season and the coaches and players raved about him when he was there his senior year. Not sure how much I like Vanderdoes though… seems like another Golden Cock to me.
Thanks for commenting Kevin. I would probably go a completely different direction in just about every round with the exception of Fabian Moreau if I do this over today.
I like Godwin, but I’d like him more in the 3rd. Just no chance he falls that far I’m afraid.
I like your draft but my dream DT is Larry Ogunjobi from Charlotte.
Albert, I’m not familiar with him. I’m going to have to check him out.
Changes with Sidney Jones gone with Achilles tear (instead of ahead of us in Rd 1 – drops him to Rd 3 maybe)? Paea signed (PFF rates it an upgrade)? Carroll joined? TWill re-signed?
