Bob McGinn Scout Comments - Randy Gregory

[ConstantReboot]

I'm wondering if we can play him at SLB like Denver does with Von Miller.

I was thinking the same. Watching tape of his combine makes me think that his natural position is linebacker not DE. He sure looks as quick and agile as any linebacker in the NFL for sure.

If they kept him at that weight and played him like Von Miller, I'd be more than ok with that move.

 

[theogt]

Wow.

Had no idea he was that intelligent.

Listen to his interview on dallascowboys.com. He's very well spoken. Clearly a smart guy.

Agreed. He has a mature approach to his being immature in the past. He has set out to change that. I was a believer after his interview.

 

[Oh_Canada]

This is a tremendous pick, something obviously needs to be addressed with him, but if he can straighten out....Maranelli is going to have another Ferrari in his garage to test drive.

The interview was very impressive. He considers himself a high-character player who made a serious mistake. He's pretty driven to make up for it, too. Fun to hear.

Why is this guy weight dropping ? Seem like he may still be on drugs.

If you have to run a bunch of speed and agility drills against air then do you think losing weight would help?

 

[Titleist]

Hate it

Nice analysis.

Yeah, marijuana is definitely causing him to lose weight.

I hadn't watched any clips of Gregory at all but when they said he could drop to 27 I did. My impression was that he didn't overwhelm me and I was pretty mehh on him as the pick at 27. At 60 I love the pick though, and I think he will be a great situational pass rusher for Marinelli's scheme immediately.

I kind of had the same impression last year about Anthony Barr of UCLA, good player but probably not worth the draft slot. I was wrong on Barr, he was worth a top 10 draft spot and the Cowboy scouts did like him. Does anyone who watched a lot of tape have any comparisons between Barr and Gregory?

 

[reddyuta]

Imo he is way way better than Shane ray,if he didnt have pot addiction then he was a top 5 pick for sure.

He is up to around 240 or so, Cowboys are putting him on a special diet to gain they say.

My guess is by the time he hits year 2 in an NFL conditioning program, the whole weight thing won't even be a concern anymore.

I dont know but he lighter than his playing weight.

There is no special diet up his calorie/ carb intact.... a Chipotle bowl a day with steak and chicken

I completely agree with this. He needs to be put in a position he can excel at. He gets pushed around a lot on the line.

I trust Rod M completely on this pick, the guy is the master working with these guys, stand back and let him do his thing. Rod M is turning this thing around.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

This guy is going to change our defense

Yep...28 on the Wonderlic... Just has to lay off Da Chronic

Lol this is texas. get him on the breakfast taco, queso and chips, 32 Oz steak diet.

 

[TheCount]

Willie McGinest said he was up to 246-248 when he worked out with him.

I'm hoping the 228 was a typo. Going from around 250 to 230 in a few weeks would be a crazy amount of weight to have lost that quickly.

 

[Fletch]

Just listen to him speak. Very articulate kid.
