Can TJ Watt

[TXCowboyVol]

be as good as Joey Bosa? Fair comparison or no?

According to his brother, yes.

It's possible, but not likely.

I honestly view them as two completely different prospects. Joey Bosa's size makes him more suited for a 3-4 DE or LE in the 4-3. Whereas Watt is more of an outside linebacker in the 3-4 or RE in the 4-3.

I think that's a great point. Boss would be our SDE or LE here, while Watt would play on the right.

I want us to draft Watt. Keep the brothers in Texas

I'm not terribly opposed to it. If you remove from consideration the injury history and the concern that perhaps we are over-valuing him as a result of who his brother is, out of the prospects likely to be available at 28, he may very well be the best possible RDE. That said, the Cowboys have a much stronger need for Corner...and it just so happens that the best player available may well be a Corner, considering the depth of that particular position in this years draft.

Is this serious?

This guy has reached unfathomable levels of overhype

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

My main thing is that he''s already been injured in College, plus he's a part-time player at RE in the 4-3 and in the end there should be a better fit for Dallas @28.

wasn't he a FB about a year ago? Time to not just put the brakes on, but SLAM them down with both feet

Watt is good and I am not opposed to them picking him necessarily, but I still see him as a mid-30's guy so unless we trade down from our first, he would be a reach to me

 

[KingintheNorth]

He's more Clay Matthews than Joey Bosa.

Bosa is playing as a 3-4 DE. There is zero chance TJ Watt plays 3-4 DE; therefore, not a good comparison, IMO.
