With the No. 14 pick in the 2012 Cincy Jungle Mock Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select....
Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
I would have to imagine "Jerry's World" in Dallas would have loved for Decastro to fall into their laps. But with top candidates Decastro, Coples, and Claiborne off the board, Dallas will have to go with their next best player available on their board. And with a general consensus on their fan boards and expert analyst, the Dallas Cowboys will need to address their defensive line in the first round. I think the Cowboys will select Micheal Brockers with their first round pick (14th overall)
With a sub-par combine Brockers stock may have dipped a bit, but he looks to be a Cowboy all the way. Brockers has the versatility and athleticism to play in a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme and a frame that can add a few more pounds. Brockers seems to be a pick that Cowboys can be creative with and take away some pressure from Demarcus Ware.

Joe Goodberry's Instant Analysis:
After the Cowboys signed CB Chris Carr, their targets dwindled to OG and DE in the first round. With DeCastro already taken, Dallas take on a major project with Brockers. He's great against the run now and looks like he may develop into a solid pass rusher but as of now, he needs time and major coaching. This pick is based purely on potential.
