Matt Mosley on the Cowboys and NFL draft (4/28)

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Nothing to see here folks. Keep moving.

no to colledge. how is a guy who can only bench 225 like 16 times a mauler? the guy is a softy with good feet, and not a RT.

He is a little light at 299 but can easily add on more pounds. He could be a good backup and maybe complete with Flo the following year. Can never have enough good linemen. Just my thoughts.

he's a mauler because he works to the final whistle and has a mean streak, plus he has long arms, so it's not unusual to see guys with his wingspan bench so little, although COlledge's biggest weakness is his size and strength, but that can be improved

I will say that the Cowboys will do whatever it takes to get that fourth-round pick back. Jerry Jones seems obsessed with making that happen.

I hate to hear this.

I'd rather that Jerry stay open minded and flexible rather than try to force one particular outcome.

Its good to see that the local beat writers are catching up with names that have been discussed around here as potential picks since October.

Wow. I'm surprised (no I'm not) you didn't mention anything about Carpenter running his 40s eventhough he wasn't 100% healed from his injury. I can't believe (yes I can) you'd leave that out.


I'm shocked (No I'm not).

I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing.


Think about it, if the kid did so well in college yet didn't have great muscle endurance/strength, then how did he do so well in college?


A guy can get stronger once he's in the NFL.

But he can't get "Talent" he doesn't already have.




Not sure I explained that very well.

I like Colledge as well, but the only thing that scares me about him is that he has already put on a lot of weight just to get where he is.

I still think he is a serious target in 2.

Not sure I'd want him in the 2nd.


I'm hoping a guy like Eric Winston falls to us in the second. Not likely, but I can hope right?
