Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys select LSU LB Jabril Cox at 115

[Aerolithe_Lion]

That was a better pick than any of our third round picks.

He has a goofy shoulder, but that’s no reason he should have lasted this long. Maybe steal of the draft

 

[fivetwos]

He looks more interchangeable with Neal than Jaylon.

Anyone have what the team plans to do with him?

Looks like a large SS....

I’m just going to pretend this was our 3rd round selection. Awesome player

If we add Jamar Johnson with our next pick (or Tommy Togiai or Marvin Wilson), I will be a little forgiving about the third round.

 

[Clove]

Looks like Dallas is drafting an entire defense.

 

[xwalker]

Insane value if the shoulder turns out to be better than expected

He played 1/3 of a season after the injury and before surgery.

Sounds like great value but I have bad news for you guys that think Jaylon's $7.2 guaranteed salary and $16m dead cap hit is getting cut.....

I am interested in the possibility of using him in that role as a Kam Chancellor type.

We are getting into the range where taking a flier on Wilson would be smart.

They won't cut him because they like him.

But money wise, if you cut him and he's a June 1, the financial hit isn't terrible.

who cares if he gets cut or not, these lbs going to make sure hes on the bench

 

[Carter]

He played 1/3 of a season after the injury and before surgery.

If everyone would be fine with his medical he would not have dropped that far. Hes a 2nd Round Talent easily

 

[JJHLH1]

I’m liking this draft more and more.

 

[nalam]

Elite coverage skills for a LB. A bit soft in the run game but he's a modern football linebacker for sure.

That was addressed with parsons

I am no capologist but according to sportrac for post 6/1 cut for Jaylon:

2021 Dead Cap: $9,800,000
2022 Dead Cap: $6,800,000
2021 Cap Savings: $0

That sounds terrible for a LB

 

[CWR]

Yes sir LETS GO BABY!

Parsons
Cox
Neil

We got a rebuilt LB corps! Jaylon and LVE are on notice.

Hate to hate on LVE, but it is what it is. I stopped sticking up for Jaylon a couple years ago. Buh-bye swiper!

 

[Malhavoc]

This kid is going to be on the field in nickel situations He’s even better tha Neal drooping into coverage IMO.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

This pick I really, really like. Getting Cox at 115 makes up for the two reaches at the end of the third round for me.

Dallas has already done better today than late yesterday.

 

[CWR]

If we add Jamar Johnson with our next pick (or Tommy Togiai or Marvin Wilson), I will be a little forgiving about the third round.

Cox and then a DT and everyone changes their tune. 4th quarter rally baby!

 

[Carson]

A+ Pick here

Yeah, I'm essentially down to two guys for 1-tech and one FS. I'd probably go with the DT first because a couple of those have come off the board recently (Brown, Shelvin). Plus, we've been tied to both these DTs ... and maybe we were betting on them making it this far.

Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if we ended up with both of them. We need good competition at those tackle spots. However, I also think Johnson is the last high-rated free safety. Could wait, though, and take a flyer on Ar'Darious Washington or Johnson making it to our fifth-round pick.
