Dallas Cowboys defense gets overhauled in final 7-round 2020 mock draft
By Randy Gurzi
Kenny Robinson. S. player. Scouting Report. Round 4. 877. Pick Analysis. Pick 123
The Cowboys have needed a safety for several seasons and that seemed to be the way they were going to go with their first pick in this draft. However, they gave themselves a cushion to work with as they came to terms with Ha Ha Clinton-Dix in the offseason. His addition gives them time to find a long-term answer but considering he has a one-year deal, chances are high the team still grabs a safety in this class.
With that being said, the player they choose is West Virginia’s Kenny Robinson. A ball hawk safety, Robinson is an interesting case as he went into the XFL this season, before being eligible for the NFL Draft.
This could give him an advantage as he played against professionals this year, something no other prospect can say. And he excelled in that league, meaning he should be a player that gets his name called and can make an impact in the NFL.
Pick Analysis. Round 5. Pick 164. Colby Parkinson. TE. player. 871. Scouting Report
Blake Jarwin just received a big extension meaning he’s set to be the No. 1 tight end in Big D. Behind him is Dalton Schultz and newly signed Blake Bell. It’s not a terrible group but there’s room for improvement.
With that in mind, Dallas uses their first of two picks in the fifth-round on Stanford’s Colby Parkinson. The 6-foot-7, 252-pound Parkinson would have a hard time being selected by the old regime as he’s a big pass-catcher with not much blocking experience.
Under Mike McCarthy, there’s a role for a player like that and he could help open up the offense whenever he’s on the field.
