The seventh weekly Dallas Cowboys mock draft- featuring players that present value at positions of need for the blue and silver.

We are now just six weeks away from the 2017 NFL Draft.

The Dallas Cowboys have done a solid job of finding affordable free agents that present major upside and value. That list includes cornerback Nolan Carroll, defensive end Damontre Moore, defensive tackle Stephen Paea and bringing back wide receivers Terrance Williams and Brice Butler.

Several 2016 contributors, including multiple starters in the secondary, have found new homes around the league.

Despite a pretty hefty turnover of players from last season to now, the Cowboys have to feel good about what they have done to bolster the roster without breaking the bank and aside from one defensive starter at strong safety, they really aren’t any worse for wear from a talent standpoint.

Dallas now has a glaring concern at the right tackle position with veteran and Cowboys fans’ punching bag Doug Free announcing his retirement in recent weeks.

The Cowboys believe that third year tackle Chaz Green is more than capable of being a quality starter at that spot, since that is what he was drafted for in 2015. The concern with Green doesn’t lie in his ability, but in his durability.

I’m not sold on any of the available offensive tackles in this draft class being any better than what they have in Green- or possibly moving La’el Collins out to the right tackle spot if Green somehow continues his streak of being snake bitten with injuries.

That being said, it is highly unlikely that they select seven players in the draft without addressing the position.

Fans may not like where I decide to select a right tackle, it might not be early enough for some but I have simply selected a tackle that has upside for the right tackle position and has value in a draft class that is weak at that position.

The Cowboys select the strong safety that is an instant upgrade to Barry Church while also enhancing the talent level in the secondary and tossing in a couple of offensive players to continue building depth.

Enjoy.
