[darthseinfeld]

Two league sources tell CowboysSI.com that the Saints are working toward a potential trade up in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. … and into the top 10 of the draft order. Further. sources tell us that target is a “top/5 guy” - and that is Oregon tackle Penei Sewell

With the Cowboys eyeing a top cornerback prospect, a potential trade up attempt by the Saints could have a direct impact on Dallas' plans - had the Saints been thinking corner. … Whether it's Patrick Surtain II of Alabama or Jaycee Horn of South Carolina, ..: and the Cowboys would like to add one of them to their defense. We are told the “lean” is now to Horn.

Horn in 1, followed by Holland in 2.

Fine by me.

He's not been told ANYTHING.

He did an interview with Jane Slater, maybe she told him.

On the NFL Network this morning they said that Horn has spent a lot of time with the Dallas coaches but especially Quinn. Quinn said that the coverage scheme that Horn ran in S Carolina was similar to what he’d be doing in Dallas for Quinn. The verbiage that the S Carolina defense uses is very similar as well and Horn should be able to hit the ground running if he is the guy.

I’m fine with Horn, and I might even prefer him... and I’ve been a huge Surtain fan in this whole pre-draft process. I wanted Surtain over Farley back when Farley was considered a top 10 guy. I think Surtain is a very good player.

Basically, I see Horn and Surtain as 1a and 1b at CB. I pretty much view them as even but I for sure love Horns athleticism and his alpha attitude. WR’s hate playing against him.

So, if Dallas decides to go with Horn, then I’m good with it. If they go Surtain, I’ll be happy there too.

I think you win either way IMO

That is a HUGE move up by New Orleans. I think the odds are pretty long that any team will want to slide that far back. The Saints will have to give up a ****-ton to make that jump. I just can’t see it happening.

I stated a couple of Weeks ago that Horn reminds me of Richard Sherman. Same size and uses his hands similar. This makes sense.

Sherman would have been called for a lot of penalties in Dallas so will Horn

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He's not been told ANYTHING.

But I pay Fisher $45 a month for his insider info!?!?!

Right with you there...

Bingo.. if people have not seen that penalties that go uncalled on other teams get flagged all the time in Dallas then they simply haven't been paying attention. Denying reality does nothing to change it.. I am okay with either corner but my preference is Surtain because I worry that Horn's career will never get out of the gate in Dallas. He already has a reputation for drawing flags and once the NFL refs put that label on him he's toast.. Pun intended.

Money well spent.

Where else on the internet would you be able to hear that Dallas needs defense, needs a corner, and likes Surtain and Horn?

I mean, that kind of info is priceless.

This draft may surprise some people. The most any draft started taking all offense was 6 in a row. Same with defense, 6 in a row. Will this be 9 in a row? I doubt it.

 

[Sydla]

So basically, Fisher read this board, saw that Broaddus and Archer have mocked Horn to us, both have a track record of nailing the early Cowboys picks due some inside sources and now Fisher wants to claim that the Cowboys are leaning Horn?

LOL.

Agreed, but if they decide to trade Hill and take a shot with Winston? Would a team be willing to get Hill, a somewhat proven commodity, over a raw rookie like Lance?

Don't think that's happening either, but I wouldn't be totally shocked. Saints have lost a LOT of defensive players in the last year....

Pretty much how I feel, too
