Drafted by Cowboys 5th Round - Pick 178 - DT John Ridgeway (Arkansas)

[baltcowboy]

Finally a fat boy. The defense has gotten better this offseason. I wanted one of those Baylor safeties but I can’t complain with what we drafted.

 

[KJJ]

All things being equal and everybody healthy, I d say Bohanna less likely to the team than Ridgeway.

We’ll find out this summer.

I looked way back into Dallas lore...Could this guy be Danny Nonan 2.0??? Hopefully alot better.

Noonan.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

If he can push the pocket and stuff the run, this is the best pick of the draft.

i started to think big Bo all over again but hearing this guy is a 2 down run stopper way more developed then Bohanna.

are they correct? could be we got a 3rd round guy in the 5th from a lot of the SM responses form some media pundits.

they will both make it we need beef inside and this is a rotational era and im not giving up on BO but heard Ridgeway way more developed and is better player.

We absolutely owned the 5th round!

Ridgeway can probably take Bohanna and Urbans spot. Should be able to play that 4i spot Quinn likes to use. I think he could be comparable to Red Bryant

Instantly made the Arkansas defense better. We ll see if he can make the step up.

Ridgeway was a much better college player than Bohanna.

Ridgeway was a much better college player than Bohanna.

i believe i said that..but BO could still develop..

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

You don't know what you're talking about!

Yes I do!

 

[Captain-Crash]

yeah, he's hard to move and when they do move him, he likes to fall on the ground and cause havoc when the runner steps on him.

He may have a better "Give me some cake!!!!" fat kid face than Zack Martin. And thats not easy

"You will not have a consistent pass rush unless your team has a defensive tackle that demands the double team. Double-teaming John will allow your Edge Rushes to go one on one on the outside."

I think a few of us have been saying this for a decade, at least

dang hes of the Caucasian persuasion, i did not know that,..see this place is informative.

 

[Rockport]

Meh, folks will get excited because they recognize the name but he's a limited athlete. Basically doubled up on Q. Bohanna

You don’t know what you are talking about.

you trying to tell me OSi and Gallimore were NEVER doubled and never created middle pressure, I say you are dead faced liar. i saw they both did that plenty last year..? Ridgeway will not be 3rd down pass guy so that moot if hes run stopper..
