As much as I am not crazy about drafting RBs in the first round, I wouldn't be sad if Jeanty lasted to 12 and the Cowboys took him. He seems like the closest thing to a safe pick that settles that crucial position for the next five years. Checks all the boxes. But he'll probably be gone.
I'm not crazy about the WRs that will be available, and I'm not sure they should burn a first rounder. Second round would probably offer the best value, maybe third. Golden is flashy but I don't think he's the kind of WR that would be the best match to pair up with Ceedee. McMillan would be a better fit, but I'm a bit skeptical about his value at 12. But I wouldn't hate it that much. I think there is likely good value at 2 and 3 wiithut a ton of dropoff.
I would love to see a permanent DE replacement there, but I'm not really seeing the draft stack up for that particular guy at 12.
I don't like guards at 1, either, or a "versatile" shorter armed guy they say can play tackle or guard, which usually means he is an NFL starting guard or a marginal tackle. It just piles up too much onto the cap when you can get good guards later in the draft. Get a true guard in the 3rd round. At 12 you gotta get true left tackle, not a development guy like Guyton, that can fix that spot would be pretty awesome, but I see that as unlikely from the Cowboys perspective. There isn't an interior DL that I love at 12, and they tend to go later if they aren't just a total no-brainer stud player.
I don't want to see a big reach for position of need over a better prospect.
I don't think they need to panic and take a corner too early, it's just going to add to the drama in the coming years. And I don't want to see a TE in the first three rounds.
I'd be OK with a small trade down, inside of 16-ish depending on how things are falling, to get another 4th rounder if none of the "guys" are there at 12. Another 4 or better could be extremely useful to fill some more of those needs, since they have pissed away so much mid draft capital. I like Mykel Williams a bit later than the Cowboys are picking if they went that route.
With no 4 it's going to be hard to get solid picks at all the immediate needs that have a chance to start or rotate, solid guards, safeties, linebackers that might have been available there, or even a good RB with early starting potential.
Other than Jeanty, there's not a particular player prospect that has me really drooling that might possibly be there.
