BTB Mock 4.0

[Toruk_Makto]

If Dallas drafts Reddick it is an admission that they threw away pick 36 last year and a bad sign about Jaylon Smiths future.

That or BPA

4-3 LB that occasionally rushes the passer...a lot like how Zimmer uses Barr.

I have never seen Barr line up as a d end and rush the passer. His sacks seem to come from blitzing. Again, I don't see a point in having him if Jaylon is supposed to be the guy. Nickel defense only uses two linebackers. I PERSONALLY can't be sold on drafting this dude. (Shrugs)

some hate these 3 highlighted letters with a passion.

I don't get the Reddick thing. Who does he compare to in the NFL? A 6'1 237 pound d end?

Haason Reddick ER/LB Temple


TALENT
ROUND 2

STRENGTHS
Haason reminds me of Buffalo Bills Jerry Hughes when rushing the passer. He reminds me of Cowboys Sean Lee when he plays the pure linebacker position. He has untapped talent playing both positions and that makes it exciting to think of his potential to be an impact player for the team that selects him. He has excellent speed, quickness, and change of direction skills. Haason has a pass rusher's long arms and quickness off the line of scrimmage. These natural attributes allow him to be a disruptive force as a pass rusher. Haason has all on the natural talents to play any one of the linebacker positions in any style of defense. All that will be needed now is experience at one position and in one style of defense to become the impact player his talents suggest that he can become.

CONCERNS
Haason’s size will limit him being used as an every down defensive lineman the way he was used in college. But he fits as an OLB/DE in a 3/4 like a glove. He also fits inside or outside as a linebacker in a 4/3 defense but it might take some time for him to catch up scheme wise before he can play more instinctually. Haason is a better pass rusher when he’s in a three point stance than standing up. His pad level and leverage coming off the line gives him an advantage against bigger offensive lineman.

BOTTOM LINE
Haason has the talent but his football intelligence might need some time to catch up to that talent. He does need to learn better pass rushing moves once engaged. Right now most of his ability to pass rush is based off his superior athleticism. As far as playing linebacker, like I said, he needs time to catch up mentally. Once this happens Haason will become the impact player and core player and a player you should be able to run your defense on the field. He has that type of potential. If Haason shows in the Senior Bowl that his ability mentally is up to speed with his physical talents he could be a late first round pick. That would not surprise me at all. But make no mistake, Haason should become an impact defensive player for the team that selects him not matter what round he is selected in.

That's a bit extreme.

 

[reddyuta]

You know how rare a player like him are who can play any LB spot? I won't be shocked if he went top 15, after all Shazier went 15th

 

[Killerinstinct]

That's a bit extreme.

Not extreme at all. Just saying that the only way Reddick is drafted by Dallas is if they don't think Jaylon will be able to play.

He isn't Shazier.

 

[reddyuta]

He isn't Shazier.

we will see how he does in the Combine.

not at all, but all we can do is wait and see

 

[Derinyar]

Folks are going to need to wrap their heads around the thought the Cowboys may not draft a DE in round 1.

Seems pretty likely we don't. We only draft one there if we think he's the best player on the board, and much like QB and LT they tend to get over drafted by many teams.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Watch the Cowboys draft a TE in round 1, that would be awful. In taking a look at that mock draft, the only pick I dont like is the round 1 pick.

It depends on who the TE is. If its Howard or Njoku then its a defensible pick as BPA. You draft for need and you usually get inferior players. Trust your board.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

If the team goes defense 1st round it needs a player that could presumably step-in and be a starter or significant contributor. I'm not sure Reddick is that guy as much as some folks would like to presume it'd be a seamless transition.

Give me corn elder from Miami in the 2nd or 3rd kids gonna be a stud and I think a tandem of him brown and scandrick if we fail to bring backcarr would be serviceable with young talent to grow

I like him too but he's too short for us probably

1- Hasson Reddick, LB Temple
2- Cam Sutton, CB Tennessee
3- Jordan Willis, DE Kansas State
4- Taywan Taylor, WR Western Kentucky
6- Tedrick Thompson, S Colorado
7- Tyus Bowser, Edge Houston
7- Darell Daniels, TE Washington

Would be really happy if the draft fell this way even if it doesn't address DL as early as we all hope. Although I'm not sure either Willis or Bowser last as long as they have them.

Would love Tyus Bowser, especially in 7th, but he'll get picked higher than that. Kid is a playmaker. Reddick would be a stud for the Cowboys too.
