With the ninth pick in the 2011 Cincy Jungle Mock Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select...
Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina
This is a worst-case scenario for the Cowboys. The Cowboys had hoped that Blain Gabbert would already be picked, and possibly Anthony Castonzo, allowing others to fall. The Cowboys need defense, especially a 3-4 defensive end, defensive backs, and a right tackle. The Cowboys had hoped that Marcell Dareus would fall here, but he has been rising up draft boards too quickly. Failing that, they wanted Peterson, Amukamara, or Miller, but they are all gone. We would like to trade down, but the powers that be said no, shut up and do what we said but it’s against the rules. So, the choice comes down to Quinn and Castonzo.;
Quinn is the last of the elite defensive difference makers and the Cowboys cannot pass on that. Demarcus Ware had 15.5 sacks in 2010, but the next highest total on the team was five, by Anthony Spencer. Drafting Quinn to play opposite Ware puts elite pass rushers on either side of the line. Quinn will also contribute in nickel situations at DE. This should allow the defense to generate more sacks and turnovers, and give the offense better field position, and ultimately win games.
