Dallas Cowboys trade back, shore up secondary in 7-round 2020 mock draft

Last season, the Cowboys lost Cole Beasley and were able to replace him with Randall Cobb. The move worked out well, but it also led to Cobb leaving in free agency as the Houston Texans gave him a three-year, $27 million contract. Dallas could still add someone in free agency, or they could just look to the draft which is pretty strong at the position — and they find some great value late with Joe Reed from Virginia.

Currently, Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup are the starting receivers and they like what Blake Jarwin can do as a pass-catching tight end. With that being the case, they don’t have to reach for anyone and instead wait and find a versatile weapon like Reed who can help in several ways.

One is as a receiver, where his background as a running back makes him an intriguing prospect. Reed is able to make things happen after the catch, which makes him a great fit in the slot. He’s also a stellar return man, and the Cowboys can use a new kick returner.

With their final pick in this mock draft, the Cowboys add Cincinnati running back Michael Warren II. With Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard on the roster, there’s not a dire need for a running back but Dallas could stand to add some depth.

Warren racked up 2,594 yards and 33 touchdowns over his final two seasons in the NFL. He’s a powerful back at 5-9 and 226 pounds and is able to break tackles and gain extra yardage with his strength.

He would have an outside chance at making the 53-man roster as the third running back. Should something ever happen to Elliott, he would be able to carry the load with Pollard.
