Long Twitter thread, so I won't post the whole thing for the sake of space. Just click on the tweet and go from there.



This is Cox in man coverage versus a future 1st round Texas A&M TE, and he handles him all game. This dude just gets coverage. He has a feel and understanding of it that most rookies simply don't, definitely not most 4th rounders.

He was an absolute steal where Cowboys got him in the draft

We'll love him until he faces Pitts on November 14th. Lol.

He really was. You changed your whole linebacker room with parsons and cox. Changing of the guard from lve and jaylon it seems 2022


Agreed. It doesn't make financial sense to keep either LVE or Jaylon beyond 2021, even if they rebound to 2018 form. You have younger and cheaper players under contract for 4+ years. Assuming the rookies pan out, of course....

And that is why these 3rd rounders better pan out (all of them!). We risked losing out on Jabril Cox 3 times in the 3rd round.
Every other team risked losing Cox by passing on him in the 3rd round too, and some passed on him in the 4th as well, so I don't see that the Cowboys committed a grievous error. Besides, even if the 3rd rounders don't work out it doesn't change the fact we got Cox.

They had nobody to replace him..now the draft changed that.

Jaylon was meh and on a downward slide since 2018. I would have cut his snaps last year and played more of Gifford and Bernard. Replacing his quality of play simply wasn't hard, even if it took a step up from Gifford and Bernard. Even before the draft, he was going to lose his nickel snaps to Neal, and rightly so. Jaylon is a liability in coverage. A liability in run defense. Shoulda moved on earlier.
