[tps_title]2017 Dallas Cowboys Mock Draft: Round 2, Pick 60[/tps_title]
Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State
The Dallas Cowboys may have just re-signed Brice Butler, but don’t think for a second that they don’t plan on upgrading the wide receiver position some more either through free agency or the draft. For me, Chris Godwin is the perfect WR to play opposite Dez Bryant for the Cowboys and would likely be a day one starter.
Godwin is already one of the better blocking WRs in this draft class, which is something the Cowboys value in their #2 receivers. He has strong natural hands and has the speed to be a deep threat. He excels at coming down with contested catches and has a wide catching radius.
There aren’t many weaknesses to his game and will only continue to get better with NFL coaching. The Cowboys may wait a little later in the draft to draft a WR, but I really like the idea of drafting Chris Godwin in the second round.
I am in love with Fabian Moreau. I was so disappointed that he performed so well at the combine. I was hoping to snag him in the 3rd or at least in the second, but it’s clear we have to take him in the 1st. Godwin in the 2nd is a nice get and will replace Williams beautifully. After that, the only other pick I’m thrilled with is the last one: Muhammed. Nice diamond-in-the-rough there. Another one to think of is Joe Mathis from Washington. Before his injury, he was on par with Garrett as a player, although he didn’t have the junior season that Garrett had. Apparently Mathis grew up a lot before his senior season and the coaches and players raved about him when he was there his senior year. Not sure how much I like Vanderdoes though… seems like another Golden Cock to me.
Thanks for commenting Kevin. I would probably go a completely different direction in just about every round with the exception of Fabian Moreau if I do this over today.
I like Godwin, but I’d like him more in the 3rd. Just no chance he falls that far I’m afraid.
I like your draft but my dream DT is Larry Ogunjobi from Charlotte.
Albert, I’m not familiar with him. I’m going to have to check him out.
Changes with Sidney Jones gone with Achilles tear (instead of ahead of us in Rd 1 – drops him to Rd 3 maybe)? Paea signed (PFF rates it an upgrade)? Carroll joined? TWill re-signed?
