2016 NFL Draft: Why Jalen Ramsey Is the Next Eric Berry

[BAT]

If your dead set on upgrading run support (thus Bosa pick) then I would rather team go after DT Billings. The tape on him is ridiculous. My guess is he goes 18-30.

Love the idea of trading down once, maybe even twice, and shore up the middle of the DL. It would be akin to when Dallas traded down to take Frederick so we could anchor middle of OL. Billings would absolutely crush the pocket and immediately improve pass rush freeing up Crawford, Lawrence, Gregory and/or Hardy.

Love Billings' effort and nastiness, doesn't just rely on his crazy power. He's disruptive and intimidating like Ratliff except he's bigger (312) and is not a knucklehead.

I wouldnt take Ramsey in top 15

Dallas wont draft a safety

I'd much rather sign the actual Eric Berry and use the #4 pick on our future QB or trade down and acquire multiple picks.

Again...not saying he can be or is a Reed type. The query is...IF it was a guarantee that he were to be Ed Reed part II...would you and others be OK with taking him at 4 or is it QB or bust?

If he was Ed Reed part II guarantee I don't see how he isn't the first overall pick.

Ramsey doesn't have anywhere near the tape that Eric Berry had coming out of college. I am not saying he couldn't develop, he is a world class athlete already, but I don't see nearly the instinctive play I saw in Berry's last couple college seasons.

of course I'd take a player at any position who was guaranteed to be one of the top 1-2 of all time at their position, even if it meant passing on a QB. Hell, I'd take a TE if they were guaranteed to be better than say Gronk, Gonzalez, Sharpe, Witten, ect. However, Ramsey is not comparable to Reed and there are no guarantees in the draft

I think a player like this would be the biggest difference maker for the Cowboys. If he's projected first round (and he should be) I would look into moving down and still trying to get him.

I really like him; #4's too high, but in a trade down, he's a prime target. My favorite play is at 1:54 in that video where he has a Larry Allen-like run.

Ramsey may be one of the most overrated players in this draft.

That's my thought too. I think that's way too high for him. Look what happened last time we took a db in top 6

Good question! Id take him #1 unless one of the qbs was guaranteed to be Aaron rogers or Tom Bady part 2, then id have to pick the qb
