Machota: Cowboys looking for a nickel corner

[jazzcat22]

Let them all compete in TC for both positions. Play the best 3.

 

[Rayman70]

This is what I thought ........he doesn't have the speed to play outside

Yip. We saw it over and over all year.

 

[john van brocklin]

Are they looking for a nickel cornerback or is that what they're looking to pay for a cornerback?

lol

Dallas passing on a good outside corner just because of need is hilarious

Terrell at 20

Downs 12

His kr

Noooooo. We do not need Bland on an island. Slot is his best position.

They probably have a better chance at finding a nickel corner than one on the outside as good as a healthy Bland.

Downs 12

You are saying a lot for him to fall to 12. You must see 3 receivers and two tackles going top 11.

Who are they passing on?

 

[stilltheguru]

Who are they passing on?

Anybody. My point is they say they're looking for something specific when they should've gotten a nickel in free agency. Why go into the draft zeroing in on something?

Oh I didn’t hear him say that I just read the post I thought they were generally saying they are looking for a nickel.

Bland is garbage in the slot

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

It’s not proven, but I have a sneaky suspicion the Cowboys would view Delane as a super slot, at least initially in his career.

You don’t draft a nickel cornerback with a first round pick. In this draft there are plenty of cornerbacks that can play nickel in the 4th and 5th round.

So what we are really saying is the guy can't play football anymore because hes no good. Didn't we kinda see that last year?

He has alway been a more effective boundary CB. Slot isnt within his skill set and he has always gotten abused when they asked him to play the slot. If he plays only boundary he might be decent

He can play boundary too

thanks Captain Obvious

Bland's best position is in the unemployment line.

 

[75boyz]

Thought it was Durant's role. Simple research showed how effective he was as a rookie for the Rams. PFF numbers as #1 and so forth.
I thought Durant should be what they lost when letting Lewis go and not replacing him. Closest thing they've got to Lewis imo.

Reading between the lines, it sounds more like concern for Revel. It was not unexpected for a rookie who played very little in College and had no offseason whatsoever in year 1, but he was not good last year. We absolutely need another CB regardless of who you want to slot where
