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

[MichaelWinicki]

1 technique

Hmm. I don't think so.

He'll be a 3 technique.

He did not like playing the nose in college.

Woods is probably the starting 1 technique.

No says nfl scouts.

The earliest I’ve seen him be ranked is by Gil Brandt at 68.

I trust McClay over Gil

Junk. We could have had this douchebag @90.

I've been Heath's biggest supporter, but he was this defenses biggest weakness outside of Marinelli's DL coaching job in the playoffs, and they ignored it and gave that old fart what he wanted again.

Hate it.

Completely agree.

I wouldn't go so far as to call him a douchebag. But yeah, safety was the bigger need and had higher rated players.

Heath is a major problem.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Remember how the Rams beat us like a drum up the gut

That's exactly right.

Safety wasn't the issue DT was.

much more then this as the reaction wasn't bad for the draft announcers..not one of them..get past it you dont know more then the Cowboys FO..we've had 5 pretty solid drafts the last 5years, I trust them , we cant control or change it so stop all the drama..

Dude relax.

Daniel Jeremiah has him 55.

You realize a lack of pressure up the middle was just as much a reason for getting torched?

When I watched the team last season, I noticed the lack of DT pressure way more than the safeties getting beat. Xavier Woods is a keeper and Heath/Iloka will be serviceable.

It was lack or adjustment and Rod out dated DL scheme. The Rams admitted to knowing our DLine keys. I saw several crucial errors made by our secondary that game. CB and S was the main culprit along with the lack of adjustment!

We should be drafting best player available at this point and not reaching for need.

So fast off the snap he did nothing in 3 years. 2 sacks a year.....

Jeremiah just told the whole world that he's the first guy off the ball on EVERY SINGLE snap. I'm listening to all the guys who do this stuff for a living tell me that this guy has an elite first step but all the experts in here seem to know better.

my concern is that he will be a problem child but i guess Marinelli is not worried about it,we will see.

Daniel Jeremiah has him 55.

NFL.com has him at 52.

Looool, I remember all the ruing after we drafted Vander Esch on this message board.

Thank you.

Maybe they felt he was the best given the positions they were considering?

This.

 

[endersdragon]

Still several good safeties available. About 4 with day 2 grades by my count.

This can’t be true. There are several posts saying that Marinelli had nothing to do with this pick.
