Twitter: Church impressed with Israel Mukuamu

[Risen Star]

If you have the talent wouldn’t his height be an asset?

No. You lose agility being that tall. That's why you don't see them that size.

 

[CATCH17]

Stanback wasn't impressed, said he look slow and Heavy

Yeah I think some of these guys are fat and happy right now. That's normal.

Just be in shape by August.

Fekoah has a chance to be a baller. I'll be surprised if he busts. Even as a 5th rounder. Dude has incredible upside.

As a safety I think it’s an asset
He was obviously agile enough to play CB in college but he’s not as agile as most nfl CB
That’s why he’s a good prospect to develop as a safety

That sounds great in May.

Lets see what happens when he is facing live ammo when the Cowboys play TB12 in September.

Patrick Watkins was agile enough in college. Flamed out in the NFL. Most players who enter the draft are good enough in college but not in the pros. There's a reason why the NFL isn't littered with 6'4" DB's.

Well that's exciting. Its very possible that with the normal pre draft evaluation period such a mess this year a lot of talent fell to later rounds.

Thats the story

Pat watkins was 6'5"...that's too tall..6'4" is the ideal height

 

[ConstantReboot]

I was hoping we would draft Ifeatu Melifonwu.
Mukuamu is similar to Melifonwu. Hopefully he works out for us.

We should have drafted Ifeatu rather than Wright. I hope Im wrong about Wright. But I think its just a wasted pick.

That height is very rare but doesn’t mean he can’t play
Sherman is 6’3” and can play CB
I think safety is easier for a tall guy
I don’t think he is fluid enough to play cb but at safety I think he has a decent chance

 

[DallasInDC]

I just wish he was a little shorter because I do think he's got the talent.

That reminds me of that rap song....

I wish I was a little bit shorter,
I wish I was a hoarder
I wish I had a girl who lives on the boarder...

Ahhhhhh man that brings back memories... good times.

 

[CWR]

17:05 mark. Stanback says he stood out more than anyone.

Which can only mean Parsons is a bust.

You take the good with the bad.

You're one heck of a fisherman. Lol

 

[Frozen700]

You think his height will eventually catch up to him?

 

[Frozen700]

I was watching Cowboys report and Jabril Cox had a good weekend in OTA.

What about Kelvin?

Well see, playing corner, outside CB with the boundary as your "shield" you don't have to be super agile.

As a safety, in space, it requires more change of direction

 

[Risen Star]

Unless he's a unicorn, yes.

He is Nigerian He is a different type of athlete

You dont have to be agile chasing shifty Wr's who break in and out of cuts?

But you have to be agile at Saftey when you are encountering the Wr after he made his final cut?

I am confused with this logic

 

[Beaker42]

Why Risen, tall S’s are a rarity. Maybe he can become Steve Atwater the 2nd......

 

[8FOR!3]

If he's as fluid as they say then height shouldn't matter.

Of course you do, but what I'm saying is, as a corner, with the boundary as a helper, you can kind of eliminate one of the ways he can go

Which is why as a slot corner they are usually more talented than outside corners. More areas to cover.

Why do you think teams, smart teams, after their star WR is having a rough day at the office, they move him to the slot? The guessing game gets harder, and now the wr has more options, inside or outside.

With a safety, a wr coming at you full speed and break in, out, post, corner, or you you are dealing with multiple wrs in the area at once, and you have to react fast enough and change direction fast enough to cover ground.
