Cowboys need to find gems late in the 6th round

Cowboys need to find gems late in the 6th round
Inside The Star Inside The Star

The Dallas Cowboys will have two picks in the sixth round of the NFL Draft next week. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that both picks fall in the bottom third of the round.

With as many needs this roster has to fill, it becomes more important than ever for the Cowboys to hit on both of these picks.

Last week I mapped out how my three picks would play out for the Cowboys in the first three rounds. Cody Warren has posted his mock of the Cowboys’ draft.

The last two days we’ve looked at two different mocks, focusing on the fourth and fifth rounds.

Today we’ll examine the sixth round. And the featured mock comes from CBS Sports.

You can check out all seven rounds at the link.

For now, here’s the full list of this mock’s sixth round.

They have the Cowboys taking a tight end and an edge player. I just don’t see that happening.

Those are two positions the Cowboys appear to be set at.

But this is Jones Inc. we’re talking about. So maybe CBS is on to something here.

Breaking Down Round 6

  1. Buffalo Bills: Maxen Hook, S, Toledo
  2. Tennessee Titans: Jake Briningstool, TE, Clemson
  3. Cleveland Browns: Carson Vinson, OT, Alabama A&M
  4. Las Vegas Raiders: Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, DL/EDGE, Georgia
  5. Los Angeles Chargers: Connor Colby, OG, Iowa
  6. Jacksonville Jaguars: Nick Nash, WR, San Jose State
  7. Baltimore Ravens: Joshua Gray, OG, Oregon State
  8. New Orleans Saints: Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon

We’ll hit pause here for a second.

Dillion Gabriel falling into the sixth round? What are these people smoking over there at CBS Sports these days?

Whatever it is, it appears to be some good stuff if that is your jam.

Me? I don’t see Gabriel being there at 184.

Continuing On

  1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via mock trade with Steelers): Shemar James, LB, Florida
  2. Los Angeles Rams (via mock trade with Jets): Jack Kiser, LB, Notre Dame
  3. Minnesota Vikings: Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon
  4. Tennessee Titans: Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
  5. Indianapolis Colts: Brashard Smith, RB, SMU
  6. Los Angeles Rams: Alijah Huzzie, CB, North Carolina
  7. Denver Broncos: Yahya Black, DT, Iowa
  8. Cleveland Browns: Kyle Monangai, RB, Rutgers
  9. Cincinnati Bengals: Teddye Buchanan, LB, California
  10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jack Nelson, OL, Wisconsin
  11. Los Angeles Rams: Jay Higgins, LB, Iowa
  12. Detroit Lions: Kyonte Hamilton, DT, Rutgers
  13. Denver Broncos: Ricky White III, WR, UNLV
  14. Green Bay Packers: Efton Chism III, WR, Eastern Washington
  15. Los Angeles Chargers: Trevor Etienne, RB, Georgia

This was another “what are they smoking?” pick.

Trevor Etienne is another player that isn’t falling to the sixth round. Frankly, I’ll be shocked if he drops into the fifth.

And if he is still on the board when the Cowboys go on the clock in that fifth round his name better be on the card they turn in to the dias.
