Dallas Cowboys mock draft: Round 6, 193rd overall

Scouting Report. WR. Michael Strachan. player. 123. Pick Analysis. Charleston. 6

One position the Dallas Cowboys are set at currently is wide receiver as they have three solid players in Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb. However, this is the last year on Gallup’s contract and there has been some talk of the team looking to trade him.

With the selection of Michael Strachan, the team picks up a 6-foot-5 wide receiver with good speed for someone his size.

While Dallas has been rumored to take Kyle Pitts in the first round, the far more likely scenario is the team takes a tight end late in the 2021 NFL Draft.

The team could be looking to add to this position as Dalton Schultz is in a contract year and Blake Jarwin is coming off a torn ACL. When healthy BYU’s Matt Bushman has been one of the more productive pass-catching tight ends in college football.

The Cowboys spend their last pick of the 2021 NFL Draft on a punter to compete with Bryan Anger and Hunter Niswander for the starting job. This might not be the sexiest pick in the draft, but Dallas has shown a focus on improving their special teams this offseason and still is unsettled at the punter position.

Georgia Tech’s Pressley Harvin is one of the top punters in the draft and was the winner of the 2020 Ray Guy award.
