With the Dallas Cowboys starting to focus on the offseason and improving the team, it might be time to look at some “pet cats” for this year’s draft.

A pre-draft “pet cat” is a player that you have a special affinity for and subsequently believe the Dallas Cowboys should draft. In this case, I am looking at who might be available for the Cowboys in the draft and who they should select.

In some ways, this is a mock draft. In other ways, it is meant to get fans familiar with some of the players coming out of college.

The Dallas Cowboys will need to do some shopping in free agency in order to fill their needs to replace outgoing players. There is no way they could fill everything they need through the draft alone or just free agency, they will need both to fill out a winning roster.

This mock is assuming the Cowboys pick up at least one pass rusher, a cornerback, and maybe a guard. It could be a re-signing or it could be someone new.

In the first round the Cowboys sit with the 28th pick. This is of course assuming they don’t get something in return for Tony Romo, so we will draft as it currently stands. In the mock draft I did for this article I looked for a combination of best available and filling needs. So without further delay, the “pet cats” mock draft version 1.0.
