ESPN’s Todd McShay has released his latest NFL Mock Draft and has given the Cowboys Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State at #27.
McShay on the pick:
Analysis: The Cowboys addressed their pass-rusher need by signing Greg Hardy, and DeMarcus Lawrence should also help in this area if he’s able to stay on the field for a full season. Goldman doesn’t offer much in terms of getting to the quarterback, but he’s very stout against the run and will make Dallas stronger down the middle of its defense. The Cowboys could look to add a running back to pair with Darren McFadden following the departure of DeMarco Murray to the Eagles, but they can address that need on Day 2 or 3.
For me, I don’t see the Cowboys drafting a defensive tackle in the first round. For years and years, mock drafts have attempted to feed us a DT, but we haven’t drafted one since 1991 (Russel Maryland) #1 Overall.
The DT drought in the 1st round has last nearly as long as us drafting a QB in the 1st round, so eventually one of these will get drafted, but I’m not holding my breath.
