We’re just a few days away from the big night. The topsy-turvy activity with the first two picks has given us more clarity for how the early part of the draft could unfoled. Los Angeles and Philadelphia are sure to take quarterbacks, which is a far more certain projection than what the Titans and Browns were offering. And now, my standard disclaimers: Please comment with your thoughts on my picks.

This is the final article of a ten-part series looking at possible draft trade scenarios for the 2016 Dallas Cowboys. For each scenario, we look at possible trades and then explore mock drafts that could occur from the results of the trade(s). For our last article let’s look at a scenario where the Cowboys trade down to number 10 to pick up the Giants second and third round picks. I am going to assume the Cowboys will have a good bargaining position at four and will have multiple offers for teams wanting to come up. That means the Giants will need to overpay for the privilege of coming up.

The majority of any draft talk surrounding the Dallas Cowboys is usually about who they will select with the fourth overall pick in the first round, but there has been very little discussion about their second round pick. The second round pick should be considered just about as important as the first-round selection. These players are supposed to be building blocks for the team for years to come. Unfortunately, the Dallas Cowboys have failed miserably as an organization over the last decade when it comes to finding successful players in the 2nd round of the NFL Draft. That’s right, I’m calling you out Jerry Jones, Jason Garrett, Will McClay, and the rest of the scouting department!

The 2016 NFL draft is two short days away, leaving us with our second to last countdown post here today. It was 1977 the last time the Dallas Cowboys selected with the 2nd overall pick. After selecting Randy White two years prior to this draft in the same spot, the team once again nailed the pick by adding a certain running back out of Pittsburgh. Here is his story. Tony Dorsett Dorsett revolutionized the football program at the University of Pittsburgh during his four years there from 1973-1976.

When she was standing outside the Alamo, the coveted title of Miss United States hanging in the balance, Cheryl Frasier (representing the tiny state of Rhode Island) was asked to describe the perfect date. Her answer is one that will live in infamy forever. Today is, as defined by the eventual Miss United States, The Perfect Date. What makes it perfect for the Dallas Cowboys, though? Three years ago today they drafted someone who would become the center, no pun intended, to their perfectly perfect offensive line – the best one in the National Football League.

The 2016 NFL Draft is finally upon us. We have officially started draft week and are now just days away of finally figuring out who the Dallas Cowboys and the rest NFL decide to make members of their football teams. If you are anything like me, you truly enjoy reading different mock drafts and seeing who could possibly become members of your favorite team. You may not always agree with the selection, but that’s one of the reasons that mock drafts are so entertaining. Well, since we are just a few days away I decided to take a shot in the dark and play general manager.

The Dallas Cowboys offensive line is very good. Ezekiel Elliott, the highly coveted running back prospect out of Ohio State, is very good. Combine these two things together scientifically, and it doesn’t take a notebook full of equations to figure out that the Cowboys drafting Zeke could lead to a dominant ground game in 2016. In the video above, ESPN’s Sport Science breaks down Elliott in his college zone-blocking scheme by the numbers to show how dominant he was. The amazing metrics only further prove what scouts have been saying about the prospect for a long time now, in that he hits the hole quickly and will always be a threat to take the ball to the end zone.

Each year as the NFL Draft approaches the internet becomes flooded with mock drafts and predictions for what each team is going to do come Draft night. Everyone wants that insider information or analysis to figure out who may be joining their favorite team. Sometimes, the information is right in front of our faces, we just have to analyze and accept it. The NFL allows teams to host 30 prospects on official visits prior to draft day. Full lists of which players have and have not visited teams are rarely released, but through various media outlets we have been able to come up with a list of 28 prospects who have visited Valley Ranch so far.
