Hill was an excellent selection... He's the ideal 3 technique DT they have been looking for. Only 21, explosive first step and athletic, I am good with the pick.
Has trouble as a run stopper. But he has the tools, just needs coaching. Hope it pans out.
It doesn't sound like it.I wonder if they discovered something on Thornhill that they didn't like.
Jerry Jones didn’t mind telling reporters after the press conference that Virginia safety Juan Thornhill was the other player the Cowboys were coveting before the Trysten Hill pick. “He fit. We liked him. He really fit (our scheme),” Jones said. “We were ready to go with him. But we took our preference.”
linkThornhill was at The Star for the 30 visits and intrigued the Cowboys with his ability to play both cornerback and safety throughout his career. He eventually went off the board just five picks later to the Chiefs at No. 63.
If it's so important why have they ignored it so much over the years? All of a sudden it's the most important position? Shut up
Can Marinelli retire already

Well they have wanted Donald and Vea but they were taken before our pick.If it's so important why have they ignored it so much over the years? All of a sudden it's the most important position? Shut up

Maliek will never be healthy for more than half a season. I’d prefer not having Caraun Reid as the starter like the ATL gameIt might be the most important position on this defense, just wasnt the biggest upgrade to me. Hope he proves me wrong for wanting thornhill over him (im sure hill will play well too, just not my preference) having a good interior rusher would get this pass rush to the elite level no doubt.
... that is, for #58.
He mentioned injury being one, but didn't say anything otherwise.
Translation? Maybe Rapp was #1 option until the hip flexor issue arose?
