Trysten Hill DT UCF is a player I liked at the Combine and undoubtedly DC Marinelli likes. His measurable physical abilities are comparable to elite DT in the draft; 6-3-308, 5.0 40yd time, 35 vertical jump, 4.38 short shuttle with a 1.73 10yd split. However, he was used in rotation at UCF. That fits the Cowboys mold. He also has been winning going undefeated in 2017-18 at UCF (lost to LSU in bowl game this year 32-40).

I have liked Hill because they say he was in the new UCF coaches dog house in 2018. However, he played quick, fast, and hard. So whatever happened he stood up to it. Every draft report has 2 things Marinelli loves...burst and hustle. Burst and hustle are consistent for Hill in every draft evaluation. Its the 2 things you can not coach a DL to do. Either they have it or they don't.

When Marinelli goes to a pro day, personally works out a player, and gets a player in Dallas for the 30 visits, you can bet he is high on their draft board. He would be a perfect fit a no.58 as he has a 3rd round grade and the 58th pick is a low 2nd round choice so he would not be a reach. A lot of teams are interested so his 3rd round grade is a false ranking to throw teams off. He could fall to 3-5 rounds only because he was never a full time starter. But he would then become a unreal steal in rounds 3-5.

I hope what Marinelli wants (see Collins, Lawrence, and Gregory), Marinelli gets.

Yeah - but unfortunately for us, Marinelli isn't always right.

Remember how pumped he was when we drafted Joey Ivie out of Florida? Yeah..about that....

....that was a 7th round pick.... are we holding that against him? Wouldn't Taco (at this point in his career) be a better name to drop there if that's the argument you're going with?

Marinelli has been the one reason why the team won’t invest in a solid 1tech. He has limited the defense in more ways than he has helped. For all the claims that he is some kind of defensive line guru coach, he has consistently been the one reason that why the defensive line has been weak against the run and had a subpar pass rush. He should have retired years ago.

IIRC Rod was also high on Taven Bryan in 2018. Even went to UF to run drills on Bryan and was an official 30 visit.
We had 3 DT on our 30 official vists lists that ultimately went in the first. Payne and Vea went before #19, and Bryan went at #27.

Have a feeling if it was a true, what Rod wants, he gets scenario, we have Bryan over LVE.

Maybe if McClay didn't push hard for LVE that could of been the pick, who knows.

Rod did the same for Willis the DT from Miami. Both of those guys could be in play at #90.

Hopefully he wants a big old 1 Tech DT but he hasn't showed that want yet. seems to want burst to the QB not run stuffers. Maybe we should send him a Mister Big Bar and he would get the message :muttley:snicker snicker

Who is always right?

The OP gives you 3 good picks and you come back with Joey?

Brilliant..........epic fail.
Not really though. I thought it was hilarious how excited he was. Has to be the most excited anyone has ever been over a seventh round pick.
