Inside The Star

● By Damon Smith
In the weeks leading up to the draft, I am writing a five-round mock draft series focusing on one of the most underrated aspects of each draft: draft sequencing. Draft sequencing, in its simplest form, is looking at a team's needs and the draft prospects at those positions. Then projecting the depth of those positions by predicting in which round(s) provide the most value. If you did not read my team needs by tiers, it's not necessary, but it is a helpful precursor to this series. My goal with each installation of the series is not necessarily to make the best mock possible. Instead, I want to figure out what positions Dallas should target early, while also seeing what positions I feel comfortable with them waiting on.
