Albert Breer Mock - Dallas Cowboys Forum

InmanRoshi · 04-09-2012

Generally I take mocks with a grain of salt and wouldn't bother posting them, but on twitter he said he made this after running it by lots of scouts and execs over the weekend.

Cowboys #14 - Mark Barron.

Other notables...

Fletcher Cox goes #12 to Seattle. Cordy Glenn goes #13 to Cardinals, ahead of DeCastro (Bengals #17). Eagles take Poe at #15. Konz goes #27 to New England.

I was a little surprised to see Chandler Jones go in the first round, I believe Brandt currently lists him as 48 in his Top 100, but otherwise no huge surprises.

Poe to the Eagles in intriguing. I guess Jim Washburn gets his next generation Haynesworth.

Comparing Poe to Haynesworth is ridiculous.

Why would that be ridiculous? Both are going to be drafted in the 1st round based on nothing but raw potential. Haynewsorth did nothing at Tennessee other than hide in Jon Henderson's shadow.

I was going to say, rather good comparison.

I've said all along that I think Glenn has more upside between these 2 players.

It wouldn't surprise me if this happened on draft day.

If I was a DL i'd rather face Decastro.

Please don't let the Giants draft Hightower.

Another good LB lands in Pitts

I get where you are coming from.

It would have been ridiculous if you were going to say he was lazy, which Albert was.

This kid is even more raw than Haynesworth was when he was drafted. He has been labeled as lazy, but his position coach begs to differ.

Quote:

As much as anything, Poe was limited by Memphis' defensive scheme. His main job was to provide gap control, meaning he was supposed to occupy blockers while linebackers and safeties made tackles.

"Based on what Dontari was asked to do, he did the job," said Mike DuBose, former University of Alabama head coach who was the UofM's defensive line coach the last two seasons before being fired with previous head coach Larry Porter and the rest of Porter's staff after going 2-22. "He knew he could make plays if the scheme of our defense had been different, but he didn't complain about it. He was a team guy."

The thing is when I watch what little tape is out there of him, I don't see a guy who particularly relishes slugging it out at the point of attack. He likes to get clean and get upfield, just like Haynesworth. Watch the Tulsa tape, and he outweighs the guy in front of him by 75 lbs. It's not just about being lazy, it's about playing mean. People want him to be Vince Wilfork, but it's about mindset. Vince Wilfork is a nasty individual who plays on the edge of being dirty (often times crossing that line). He relishes it. If some midget C-USA 275 lbs. guard lines up in front of Wilfork, he's completely mauling him, immasculating him with a bull rush of pure brute strength, placing him on his backside and "accidentally" stepping on his chest on his way. Meanwhile, Poe's playing finesse and trying to rip and swim his way into the backfield against a guy he should just physically manhandle.

So we are going to take a safety with DeCastro still on the board.....WOW.

If I was Romo and this went down, I would be major league pissed and head straight to Jerry's office to let him know about it.

If I were Romo, I would be ecstatic that the Cowboys finally appear to be in the process of pairing me with a defense that didn't require me to be absolutely perfect and have a 100+ QB Rating in every game for my team to win. Now maybe the next time I put up a 140 QB Rating in a NFC East clinching game in December, my defense might actually hold the opponent to under 37 points and people will talk about what a "winner" I am.
