Linebacker could be a sneaky need

[AsthmaField]

Looks like the Cowboys are looking into some LBs.

Man, do I like Derek Hall… I’m thrilled to see there is some interest from Dallas.

He is a hell of a player. Needs a little more coaching on his pass rush plan, but is already good. Very strong for his size too. He isn’t a liability against the run.

This fires me up. I’d love to come out of this draft with either Hall or Nolan Smith.

Not a big fan of Overshown…he’s a coverage LBr that can blitz. Slow to diagnose in the run game and struggles to get off blocks.

Daviyon is smaller but at least he’s more active against the run.

Reminds me a lot of Cox....

Exactly

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Exactly

I don’t really see that (J. Cox).

Daviyon reminds me a lot of Deone Buchanon.

We’re talking about Overshown…

I’m a big fan of Daviyon. Wish he was a little bigger but he isn’t afraid of getting dirty in the run game while also being a coverage stud.

Owen Pappoe is a guy I really like.

Ah, gotcha.

I actually think a guy like Overshown could fit in Quinn’s scheme in a role similar to Kearse’s.

I agree. I think he’s better suited to be a SS that gives you nickel / dime LBr stats. Want no part of him taking on blocks.

-Lve is coming off of a solid season, but few a few games with that neck issue. He is a fa that we hope to resign, depending on his price.
-Barr isn't expected to be resigned, his play was decent, but I think the coaches expected more out of him.
-Clark missed the entire offseason and he was very inconsistent on the field, so much he barely played in the postseason as the Coaches didn't trust him.
-Gifford is also a fa and is more of a special teams player, you would think last year's pick Devin Harper could replace his lost production on special teams.
-Many fans are high on Jabril Cox, but not the coaches. Believe they see him as a nickel LB/S that Kearse currently plays.

What happens if Lve departs and Bobby Wagner signs elsewhere? This need becomes #1 priority.

This draft is weak at lber. No lber in this draft is better than Vander esch.

Clark played very good for a guy who didn't have a offseason

 

[LatinMind]

Even if Lve resigns, it's a position they need to start adding future starters.

What do you think Clark and harper are?

 

[Cowboyny]

What do you think Clark and harper are?

Clark is expected to become a starter, but Harper is unknown at this juncture, he is more of a special teamer who can replace Gifford or can he make a contribution with the defense as well? Do like the traits, but it’s a wait and see

I agree, would like Lve back, would love him plus Wagner but that’s not realistic

4.65 40 for Campbell is a grand slam. Solidified himself as a 2nd rounder IMO.

As expected the smaller dudes are flying.

He would be a good replacement for Lve if he departs. Notice they are connected to many Safeties. Also, read from Pauline that Nfl teams don’t like the safety class and will address in fa, this might drive up Wilson’s price

Did the LBs run today?

 

[stilltheguru]

Campbell will be better than LVE in totality. Alot of good linebackers

Yea late last night…and they freaking flew.
