Brugler targets 5 prospects that fit the Cowboys in the mid 1st round

[cnuball21]

A lot will depend upon if they resign Osa. If they do lose him, have to replace his pass rush where a free agent replacement makes more sense as these DT's take time to develop. Say that is taken care of in one way or another. Team has to get better at stopping the run or it won't matter who is rushing the passer. I am fine with taking a high 2 down player if he significantly can improve our run defense. If Graham/Harmon are gone, have no problems considering the likes of Grant/Williams.

I love Grant / Williams but if we’re taking them in the 1st we’re 100% reaching for need and passing on a higher rated player which I’m not a fan of.

Love them as 2nd round targets.

In this day and age you have to…the Eagles took Smith at what like 11? Addison went in the teens I think.

I wouldn’t have taken either. There are receivers better than both taken later and they both play for those teams…Jefferson and AJ Brown one was a late first rounder and one was a second.

Grant is definitely a first rd pick.
No one on the consensus big board has him lower than 22 and he is ranked by the four at an average of 18.
And that is for ALL players.

That’s fair if you wouldn’t have but that’s how the league operates and how teams are drafting now.

If you want to draft a high end #2 you almost have to use premium draft capital.

Gold star for him. It’s one of the weakest classes of the last decade so there are probably only about 15 1st round grades in the class.

I’m not taking a DT in the top 15 without pass rush production. If our board is wiped I’d trade down instead of reaching for need.

For what I am hearing from the trusted media scouts, this draft isn't the norm. Might not have 15-18 1st rd graded players and teams could have players all bunched up after the top 4 or 5. Dane Bruglar has said that even the top 10 aren't expected to perform like the usual top 10.

With all this being said, taking a Grant/Williams might not be a reach at all this year in rd 1. When you bunch them up with those prospects after the top 10, there isn't a huge separation. A player like James Pierce for example is a 1 down player, but really good at that. A team might view him higher then a team like the Cowboys desperate to fix their run defense.

If Grant is rated in the 20s, and we select him in the 12-15 range it’s a reach and we’re taking someone without a 1st round grade over someone with a 1st round grade. (if we’re estimating 15 1st round grades).

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the Cowboys did something like that but it’s the definition of a reach.

If we are picking the outside of the top 15, which is very possible, we most likely will be choosing a 2nd rd graded player.

Yea if we trade down I like the idea of Grant, Egbuka etc…

We’ll mostly likely be picking inside the top 15…so I want a top 15 player.

this is the kind of mentality that has seen us lose the big games year in year out
pass rush is not everything; our obsession has ended up being one of the primary reasons we are now thirty years past our last championship
Fact is that if you are chosen in the first rd everyone acknowledges you are a first rd pick. Get over yourself

I don’t know man….i think with a top 15 pick you are expecting a game changer at receiver. I think those teams had high expectations for both Devonta and Addison.

Correct, pass rush is not everything. For a 1st round DT the dude needs to be a complete 3 down player and Grant is not. If we want a run clogger you can find one later in the draft.

Get over yourself? Relax dude…

Depends on the draft…last year yes. This year in a weak class where Burden is a consensus top 15 talent? Sign me up.

Yeah Burden I like as a later first rounder but I agree he’s gonna go top 15.

The whole reach topic and bpa thing jumped the shark long ago on this board.
