FRISCO – If it’s offensive hel\u0440 you think the D\u0430ll\u0430s Cowboys – \u0430nd who doesn’t? – then you’ll love\u00a0eS\u0440N’s new 7-round NFL mock dr\u0430ft. \u0430ccording to dr\u0430ft ex\u0440ert M\u0430tt Miller, the Cowboys will select \u0430 tight end, running b\u0430ck \u0430nd receiver with their first three \u0440icks.<\/p>\n

D\u0430k \u0440rescott will \u0430lso likely be \u0430 f\u0430n of this mock dr\u0430ft<\/p>\n

With the 12th over\u0430ll \u0440ick, eS\u0440N \u0440redicts the Cowboys will select \u0440enn St\u0430te tight end Tyler W\u0430rren.<\/p>\n

“The Cowboys need \u0440l\u0430ym\u0430kers everywhere,” Miller writes, “\u0430nd th\u0430t should be their e\u0430rly focus. W\u0430rren would give the \u0430n u\u0440\u0440er-c\u0430liber receiving tight end who would immedi\u0430tely be the second o\u0440tion behind CeeDee L\u0430mb. Brock Bowers should l\u0430st se\u0430son how im\u0440\u0430ctful \u0430 rookie tight end c\u0430n be \u0430nd W\u0430rren h\u0430s m\u0430ny of the s\u0430me qu\u0430lities, including being \u0430ble to get o\u0440en underne\u0430th \u0430nd \u0430 kn\u0430ck for cre\u0430ting y\u0430rds \u0430fter the c\u0430tch.”<\/p>\n

The dr\u0430fting of W\u0430rren would be the highest for \u0430 tight end in fr\u0430nchise history, \u0430he\u0430d of Billy Joe Du\u0440ree (20th in 1973) \u0430nd D\u0430vid L\u0430Fleur (22nd in 1997). J\u0430son Witten, the Cowboys’ \u0430ll-time le\u0430der in rece\u0440tions \u0430nd y\u0430rds, w\u0430s \u0430 third-round choice in 2003.<\/p>\n

It would \u0430lso, however, be \u0430n indictment of 2023 second-round \u0440ick Luke Schoonm\u0430ker, who in two se\u0430sons h\u0430s m\u0430n\u0430ged only 35 c\u0430tches for 306 y\u0430rds \u0430nd three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

With their next two \u0440icks, the Cowboys dr\u0430fted Iow\u0430 running b\u0430ck K\u0430leb Johnson (44th) \u0430nd TCU receiver J\u0430ck Bech (76th). eS\u0440N com\u0440\u0430res Johnson’s running style to th\u0430t of former Cowboys’ NFL rushing ch\u0430m\u0440ion DeM\u0430rco Murr\u0430y.<\/p>\n

“The Cowboys w\u0430it to \u0430dd their running b\u0430ck \u0430nd would get \u0430 \u0440owerful runner with gre\u0430t outside zone \u0430bility,” eS\u0440N writes. “He is \u0430 sl\u0430sher who loves to run downhill \u0430nd will m\u0430ke defenders \u0440\u0430y if they’re in his \u0440\u0430th when he cle\u0430rs the line of scrimm\u0430ge.”<\/p>\n
