Any Way Jordan Davis Falls to 24?

We took Osa and Gholston last draft, both of whom are anti-Jerry types.

 

And that's what it comes down to. Can Quinn get him to play? I have no idea.

Disagree about Poe. He's almost a polar opposite, and Poe never was that great. He was more of a combine baby/looks like Tarzan plays like Jane type. Davis is much more of a football player, so it really comes down to the question of whether our coaching staff can get him to play.

 

Thats my fear in this draft, Philly ends up draft Davis and we think its tough already to run

 

I'd prefer to sign Poe AND Gerald McCoy to pricey free agent contracts. Get on it Jerry!

 

NOPE -- not likely to happen, barring the happenstance of all the planets lining up wrong.

I think Jordan Davis may rightfully be one of the primo DTs to be considered in round one.

We'll likely be obliged to move up somewhat drastically to secure someone of that caliber.

 

Because the cheap ones are just decent at best ?
What about past 1 techs that got paid to huge contracts at some point such as Dalvin Thompson, Michael Pierce, Kenny Clark, Linvah Joseph, etc.

 

Will be shocked if he slips out of top 10-15

 

Don't know if I agree with that. Our tendency is to draft 3-tech types (Odighizuwa, Collins, Hill) in the earlier rounds (second and third) and not draft NT types until late or not at all. Gholston as an end fits the profile of other mid-round ends we've drafted like Joe Jackson, Dorance Armstrong, Charles Tapper, Ryan Russell, etc.

 

THIS^^^^

Davis actually further weaponizes Parsons.

In addition to shoring up the run stopping woes the Cowboys seemingly have suffered since Jimmy.

 

He would make Micah's job much easier.

 

Those are some garbage DEs you listed.

McClay has not been good when it comes to DL.

 

That official visit only thing giving me hope.

 

Very strange how people don't comprehend the NT position and the huge value it has to a D when you have a disruptive one.

 

He really doesn't. Those others are mostly attempts at finding a DWare. Gholston is more of a guy who will be solid at best, but at the very least should be....well, solid.

Tapper was a pure speed pick. Russell was simply a slug. Joe and Dorance were guys who were unlikely to ever be anything, but MIGHT have turned out to be good.

Osa and Gholston both are completely different types of DE than what we've picked in the past.

 

If Davis were still around at 24 that would be like passing on Parsons staring at you in the face.

 

We have some youth with upside at DL but lets even pretend that we have a true 1 tech rostered.
Dont need a true 1 tech if you have solid DL rotation depth, but thats the problem, we have some decent young still green prospects on DL, but that doesnt allow you to escape needing a true 1.
So this current DL situation demands a big true 1-tech, and if Quinn really has Jerrys respect, we see a big bodied run stuffer, space eating 1T drafted, doesnt have to be early, but we will see a lot
from this draft as far as who is being given some authority or not.

 

I think its unlikely he does fall, but if he does its likely because of two things

1) Teams may want more walk in pass rush ability. Davis has the talent to be a legit pass rusher, but right he would be more of a pocket pusher.

2) Abundant OT's and DE's could push him down. A good chance there are 5 OT's and 5 DE's that go before our pick. Now I think this is unlikely, but I have a seen a few mocks that have had major WR runs before our pick (Peter King has 6 going our pick. He has Davis going 15 and us getting Lindenbaum)

I do think Davis falling to us is unlikely, but I've seen crazier things. I do believe if he does, he will be their pick though

 

With his athleticism, he can a viable pass rusher with a year or so of technique work. He has the ability to be like the 2016-2018 version of Akiem Hicks. As a rookie he would probably be just a pocket pusher in the passing game. His trajectory could he like Poe, where it took a year to develop as a penetrator and he an all around DT, but as a rookie he was still very good as a 2 gap NT

 

FYI Marinelli was supposedly all in on Vea in 2018. So even the guy that doesnt value the positions understands how valuable a disruptive (key word) is. I believe the line with Vea was "1T with 3T traits"

 

Meant to say lets "not" even pretend,, to late to edit and I apologize for repeated bad typing skills.
