Dallas Cowboys: 7-Round mock draft readies team for playoff return

People were intrigued by Division III standout Quinn Meinerz at Wisconsin-Whitewater but the question about the interior lineman was how he would fare against better competition. He answered that at the Senior Bowl with a great showing in Mobile. He was ready for the task and proved ready to make the jump to the NFL.

Meinerz played exclusively at left guard in the 2019 season before the Division III season was called off in 2020 due to COVID. He made a transition to center during that time but has no game experience there. Even still, that gives him versatility and he has upside to be a starter by year two or three at the next level.

Blake Jarwin and Dalton Schultz have eached flashed their potential at tight end for the Cowboys and they would be fine rolling with that duo once again. Having said that, they could also use some depth and Kenny Yeboah is a player who would offer something different to the position group.

Yeboah is a versatile weapon in the passing game with the ability to attack the middle of the field in a huge way. Moreover, his 6-4, 247-pound frame allows him to be a matchup problem in the red zone. Underrated as a run blocker, he could be a tremendous value pickup at the end of the fourth round for the Cowboys.

Signing Neal to play a pseudo-linebacker/safety hybrid role while also landing Damontae Kazee as a starter should be of great healp for the Cowboys. However, they still need to invest more at the safety spot in terms of depth as that’s been an issue over the years.

Paris Ford is an intriguing player who tries to play bigger than his 6-0, 190-pound frame but can sometimes fail in that regard. He’s not a true box safety but has the physicality and mentality to help in that type of role in sub-packages while also displaying quality ball skills in coverage.
