TFY is Tony Pauline site, so he does have league sources FWIW. Most interesting is how far Jenkins fell or is considered a risk, and how highly regarded Zeitler is by some.

yep, some pretty big shockers there

more and more i am thinking that dallas will take DL or OLB at 14 (unless if they trade down)

with Poe, Ingram, Cox, etc available, no way we pass up whoever of these is available

no way we take OL

I thought the combine was to be taken with a grain of salt, do real football fans/people really think like this or is this another journalistic exercise. I like what Poe and some of the others did but I did not blow up my list/wants. You are molded by fire with this game to discount past experience, well you should not have a website called draftinsider.
Still liking and hoping some of these guys fall into our net I do not care how and when: Wonder how many are Cowboys at the end
Hightower, Baron, Decastro, Jake Bequette, Ronell Lewis, Shea McCellin, Janell Fleming, Zach Brown, Broderick Binns, Brandon Boykin, and Fletcher Cox

Ingram at 4 truly shows how much pass rush is valued, even though nobody knows where to play him.

Nah, the most interesting by far is Poe ranked 3rd.

Alot of arguing going on here about him, but I still believe it won't matter.

He won't be there when we pick anyway.

Pauline realized he left Kalil off the list and will fix. I imagine number 3.

I think J Jenkins goes in the top 20. Dallas could trade down 4-5 spots and still get an impact player, IMO. That would gain what, an extra 3rd?

Did I miss some amazing feat performed by Melvin Ingram at the combine? There's just no way anyone can justify him being the 4th best prospect in the draft. He has just adequate size and about average athletic ability. He's a good prospect, but #4 is probably 10 spots too high.

He has just adequate size and average athletic ability and you feel he's about the 14th best player in this draft?

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

Size and speed aren't everything. He's a versatile and smart player. I think he can be good, but physically he's going to be limited to a certain point. I also think he's being overrated because he happens to be the best 3-4 OLB in this draft class, which is a position that usually goes early.
