Drafted by Cowboys 2nd Round, Pick 58 - Cowboys Draft DT Trysten Hill, UCF

[chicago JK]

I will reserve judgement as I have only watched his highlights. You obviously need to question a guy who did not get along with coaches and had it impact his playing time.

On the plus side, this team tends to ignore DT high in the draft. I think this team needs guys who can create pressure and better athletes on the line.

Will this guy be able to do this? Those will tell.

This draft certainly appears to be beauty in the eye of the beholder draft. Guys are going all over the place and team rankings appear totally different from each other. Makes a lot of opportunities for smart drafting teams.

Still no runs on safeties.

Suspended by the end of training camp

For the sake of our Cowboys, I hope that the positive views on this guy end up being correct!

 

[Texas_Pete]

3T is extremely important in Rod's defense. To see him go higher than safeties is telling.

 

[NeonNinja]

Maybe I was wrong about this pick...

I really wanted Thornhill though.

I wanted safeties over him too.

 

[Jstopper]

I just love this. Here come the white knights to defend the franchise's horrible decision.

Just like we can always count on you and the Debbie downer crew who swear they know more than NFL teams. And then if Hill turns out to be a revelation you will pretend you were on board with the pick the entire time

Rob Rang around a week ago on some of his favorite non first round players:

DT: Trysten Hill, Central Florida, 6-3, 305, 5.04

Hill had repeated run-ins with the UCF staff over his career so his character requires vetting. Just based on tape, however, he ranks as one of the more underrated prospects in the entire country – at least from a media coverage perspective – with a combination of gap-splitting explosiveness and effort to warrant first round consideration. One of my favorite football metaphors – he plays like a bowling ball of butcher knives – comes to mind with Hill, just as they did years ago when watching similarly built and active interior pass rushers like Geno Atkins, Jurrell Casey and Mike Daniels before they became Pro Bowlers.

I hated the pick at first, but I'm starting to come around

And The Eagles and The Commanders are crushing their drafts

We're run by fools

Amari Cooper at 27, Hill at 60? What's wrong with that?

 

[cowboy_ron]

Yeah. Just we need. A guy who needs motivation, extra coaching and attitude issues

We have seasoned coaches for that type....remember we had to bottle feed Dez for years.

Yeah I’m hoping he works out well. More excited to see DLaw and Quin play together honestly.

 

[LowTech]

All the arm chair scouts out in force

If Quinn can get back to anywhere near his old form that could be a beastly combination.

 

[JeffInDC]

He wasn't even an impact player (stats-wise) in college. Is he just a good run stuffer?

Compare his 3 year stats to Fletcher Cox’s - he played in 3 less games, yet only had 4 less TFL’s and 1.5 less sacks. And, he played NT.

 

[UpNorth]

Amari Cooper at 27, Hill at 60? What's wrong with that?

Hill was a gigantic reach. Like 2 to 3 rounds early.

This is more of a reach than Daniel Jones at 6th overall, to put it in perspective

 

[endersdragon]

When you beat almost beat the running back to the ball, you know you are a beast
