[tps_title]2017 Dallas Cowboys Mock Draft: Round 7, Pick 228[/tps_title]
Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee
I’m one of those people that like to draft a developmental quarterback just about every year in hopes of finding someone that can contribute. That is why I selected Joshua Dobbs with the first of the two seven round draft picks that the Cowboys have at their disposal.
Joshua Dobbs has a skill set similar to Dak Prescott, but is highly inconsistent in his play. He has the athleticism and speed to be a threat as a mobile QB. He has a strong arm and can make all the throws in the NFL, but he needs to clean up his footwork and technique to become a more accurate passer.
Dobbs will need time to develop, but he could become a starting caliber QB in the NFL or at the very least a good backup. The Cowboys aren’t known for developing young quarterbacks, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t keep trying.
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?
