Dallas Cowboys 2022 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 7.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, we will update our Dallas Cowboys Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Dallas Cowboys from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Cowboys:

ESPN - Mel Kiper (4/13)

24. Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State

McShay is getting tired of me talking up Ebiketie, but I'm a fan. I wanted to find a fit for him in Round 1. The Temple transfer really improved last season, putting up 9.5 sacks. He has a powerful lower body and knows how to use his hands. The Cowboys have to find a way to replace Randy Gregory, and Ebiketie could help. They could also target a guard or wide receiver here.

The Draft Network - Keith Sanchez (4/13)

24. Kenyon Green, IOL, Texas A&M

What seemed to be a complete offense last year looks like a completely different team this year with the loss of key players like Amari Cooper and La'el Collins. With this pick, the Cowboys draft OL Kenyon Green, a guy that can play multiple positions in this Dallas power run scheme.

NFL.com - Lance Zierlein (4/12)

24. Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan

The choice here could come down to Zion Johnson or Raimann. The latter is the better athlete and can play left guard or tackle, which gets him the nod.

CBS Sports - Will Brinson (4/12)

24. Tyler Smith, IOL, Tulsa

The Cowboys love drafting offensive linemen in the first round and quietly need to reload this unit after some serious attrition the last few years.

PFF - Anthony Treash (4/11)

24. Devonte Wyatt, IDL, Georgia

No Power Five interior defensive lineman earned a higher PFF grade in 2021. Wyatt also earned a grade above 80.0 both against the run and as a pass-rusher -- something no other player at the position in the Power Five accomplished.

The former Georgia Bulldog was the most impactful interior defender in the Power Five. That carried through the Senior Bowl, where he led all at the position in win rate during the one-on-ones.

ESPN - Jordan Reid (4/11)

24. Tyler Linderbaum, IOL, Iowa

The Cowboys must replace guard Connor Williams and provide competition for center Tyler Biadasz. Linderbaum is a hard-nosed run-blocker who can win by cutting off angles and punishing interior defenders with physicality.

He needs to get stronger to improve his anchor as a pass protector, but he's a significant upgrade over what Dallas has at left guard now.

CBS Sports - Ryan Wilson (4/11)

24. Tyler Linderbaum, IOL, Iowa

Tyler Biadasz was good at times last season but there's certainly room for upgrading the interior OL. And if Tyler Linderbaum is still on the board, this is a layup for the front office. Linderbaum is one of the best offensive linemen, even at center, and he could certainly go much higher than this.
