5th Round 2022 Draft

[ThatJerryKid]

I just heard on the Ticket that this years 5th round is supposedly rich with LB's and RB's. We have three 5th round picks this year. Could align nicely for our needs.

Cowboys Been Good Of Stacking Up Draft Pics.. Maybe that's why the Cowboys Shy away
from top Free Agents.. Just a Thought..

Sure would be nice for once.

They usually reach for players in the 5th round. Same players they could get in the 7th or as an UDFA.
Then tell us they got value, and the players were used incorrectly in college.

They did get Jabril Cox last year as he slipped. We will see if a good pick or not. Early indictions he was.

How many 5th round picks do we have on the roster that are difference makers?

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

In my opinion potential starters at LB dry up in the first 125 picks, so I don't see this. RBs can be found anywhere in any year so I don't much care.

Technically Dak is a 5th rounder. Late 4th round comp pick, Is like a mid 5th rounder.

Plus we do not need to draft a RB except for some depth or to compete with Dowdle and Hardy as a 3rd RB. So a 5th rounder would be ok. But they may find a RB for that in a cheap FA contract.
Maybe they can find one to return both KO's and PR's.

I have Kyron Johnson from Kansas late 4th. Ran a 4.36 forty at his pro day

Or good additions

Just don't look up our past 5th round picks in the previous 10 years of drafting.

I just ran one with the new draft picks

155 Ewioma Uwazurike DT
Overview
Uwazurike's combination of size, length and athleticism makes him an intriguing defensive line projection at the next level. He has played every defensive line position in both odd and even fronts and was productive doing so. Early glances at tape show a player with subpar pad level and inconsistent scraps at the point of attack, but a closer look shows the technique improved and he received more reps inside at the nose. He's an active pass rusher with lively hand usage and the ability to go from an edge attack to a straight bull rush in the middle of the rep. He will appeal to 3-4 teams at either nose or five-technique.

167 Abram Smith RB
Overview
Big, tough prospect who went from running back to linebacker and then back to running back during his collegiate career. Smith proved a formidable fit in Baylor's zone scheme with a patient but decisive approach and a natural feel for cutback lanes. He became more comfortable in stretch plays as the season wore on but his average burst and linear running style make it easier for linebackers to find him. He has adequate contact balance and gives as good as he gets as a run finisher. Smith's lack of short-area creativity could make him zone-dependent, but he's a natural in that scheme. He has the upside to become a committee back with three-down potential.

176 Malcolm Rodriguez LB
Overview
Linebacker whose draft slotting will be a litmus test for how teams value tape and productivity against size deficiencies. Rodriguez carries a compact, sawed-off frame that is muscular but stubby. His transition from read to flow is seamless, with some of the cleanest GPS to the football in this draft. He's straight-line fast but lacks the looseness for sudden lateral bursts, which could limit his range as an NFL tackler. He can play on third downs but is very average in that department. Rodriguez has been a career gap-hog, finding and finishing runners who come his way. His floor is as a good backup and core special teams player, but the smart bet might be to project his impact production to follow him into the league, with Rodriguez eventually starting as a 3-4 inside linebacker.

192 Aaron Hansford LB
Overview
Athletic inside linebacker who might require a more attack-oriented scheme that allows him to play faster and with less reservation. Hansford failed to use his 2020 season as a springboard into bigger and better things in 2021. He has speed to range from sideline to sideline and is a fundamentally sound tackler who won't let many slip from his grasp. His blitz potential should not be discounted and he clearly has the traits to become a more robust playmaker. However, the difference between starter and backup will be rooted in whether or not he can do a better job of diagnosing blocking schemes and play with better trigger quickness.

Add Terrel Bernard Baylor

he is my pet cat. True leader, only question is health.

Undersized sub-package nickel linebacker with special-teams value on the next level. Bernard possesses elite intangibles and teams will be drawn to him because of it. He's resilient, productive and showed a willingness to play through pain. However, Bernard lacks the desired frame and play strength and will face scrutiny surrounding his injury history. He needs space to operate and has the speed for man-cover duties as a pro. If the medicals check out, he should be a Day 3 pick with sub-package value.

"If you don't like Bernard, then you don't like smart team leaders who can run. It's that simple." -- Scout for NFC team

 

[BAT]

Uwazurike had 9 sacks and 12 TFL last season as a 6'6 320 defensive end.

Really fluid moves for his size.

Cowboys should really consider playing 3-4 and really weaponizing Parsons.

He could move up and down the line and could play in odd or even fronts. I wouldn't be surprised if they're looking at him. He has the length and production they look for, 35 1/8" arms.

 

[Hardline]

Our 5th round draft picks should be used for trade up bait.

 

[The Realist]

How is it I’ve never heard of this Iowa State DE and no one has mentioned him. I do mocks every day and have never heard of him. He’s like a 5th round Ridgeway but better.

 

[visionary]

I’d take a couple of LBs and one RB with these picks . We need them and someone decent is likely to drop at these positions and they’re a little easier to project

 

[stilltheguru]

There prob won't be a single 5th rounder worth mentioning out of the draft for 2022. Just FYI. 2022 5th rounders are for 2024

 

[garyv]

I thought they have 4-5th round picks
