[tps_title]2017 Dallas Cowboys Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 28[/tps_title]
Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA
I may be in the minority here, but I already had a late first to early second round grade on Fabian Moreau before the show he put on the 2017 NFL combine. He was a top performer in nearly every event and I believe he is one of the best cornerbacks in the 2017 draft class.
Moreau is still learning the CB position after making the transition from running back, but he is already one of the more rounded prospects in this draft class. He checks all of the boxes that NFL teams look for in their outside CBs and with a little bit more time to fine tune his skill set, he could be a top CB in the league.
Moreau’s addition to the Cowboys secondary would instantly upgrade the backend of the defense and give the organization a good foundation to build on.
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?
