Kancey is unbelievably fast and explosive and totally relentless. The Donald comparisons are inevitable b/c Pitt, but when you see Kancey flying around, it's hard to think of anyone else.

Ofc, he is unbelievably fast because he is unbelievably small, and the $64,000 question is if he'll be able to get by in the pros with that lack of size. I honestly don't have an answer to that.

Dallas has shown a willingness to draft a similar guy in Osa, so stay tuned.

I like him but I’m not sure the team is looking for an undersized pass rushing DT. If he is there at Dallas’ second round pick, I could see them considering him.

A really good inside rush coupled with Parsons/Lawrence outside, would take the pass rush to a whole different level.

I posted about this guy a few weeks ago and some people shut it down immediately. When you talk about size, he is an inch shorter than Aaron Donald and 5 lbs lighter. I think he can easily at 5-10 lbs without losing any quickness.

I know it is hard to believe that a guy like this won't get buried by 330 lbs offensive linemen, but Donald does it every week.

If Kancey the new Aaron Donald. I don't think so, but he is still an intriguing player.

I wonder if smaller size won’t be a benefit against the trend for big beef

I personally need to see more tape. My fear in a guy like this is he’s good for 3-5 splash plays a game but is largely in affective for most of the game.

Here’s the only full game I can find where he is highlighted. Didn’t see a ton to love honestly



This is a full game vs Clemson, but he’s not highlighted. Can see the burst when he gets into the backfield on a handful of plays…but also looks like a small DT a lot of the game


But like I said, small sample size and I’d like to see more

Man I want to like him so much but the size terrifies me. If he’s listed at 6’0 he might be 5’11 275 at the combine. How many DTs are good at that size?

Donald is also as strong as a bull. Ain‘t no one like him. The combine will be important for him. What‘s his measurements ? How fast is he ? How strong is he ? If he blows up the combine he’s going to go higher than most think.

Hes on of the guys, I like. I don’t love. I feel he is just another 3T and that’s all we draft. He has tape, outstanding hands and will blow up at the combine.

Just feels like a Tyler Smith. Didn’t like him much around this time. Love the pick now

He will most definitely be on our radar. Remember, we not only drafted Osa, but Quinn is the one who draft Grady Jarrett. Gallimore is looking like the next bust, we need better talent, better depth at the position. Size still will crazy most teams away, but I don't think the Cowboys will be one of them.

Yeah there’s no way for me to feel certain that his talent will translate for Sunday. But I have read a couple of scouts don’t really go on about him. Nobody’s claiming he’s there and Donald affect Aaron went ninth in the first round? But I’m a fan

We need a legitimate, penetrating 3T as it's rally just a bunch of Jag's. Osa has shown some flashes, as die Gholston late in the season, but Gallimore looks like is time is running out. It seems like our 2nd rd selection could be a sweet spot to draft one of these 3T DT's. Question I have, will they address the NT or 1T before the draft, meaning Hankins and another outside fa?

That’s where we needed that I agree and Kancey Is Chancey

Reminds me more of Ed Oliver in college than Donald.

I'm seeing him ranked all over the place, where recently even seen him as a 1st rounder. Very intriguing player to say the least and we still do not have that interior pressure player.

i think it all has to do with how you build around the guys that are your playmakers. Clancy would fit nicely on a line that can protect him. I wonder how more effective Osa would be if he had a Payne or Vea lined up next to him. I’m not sure Clancy climbs into round 1, but his get off is damn near elite. Movement skills and hands are terrific. In the right situation he could be a very good player.

Could be a dark horse 1st rounder for us if we fix NT in fa
