Cowboys had Chidobe Awuzie graded highest among CBs remaining after draft's first round

[hra8700]

Hmmm....so who was the first round player they passed on for Taco???

Perhaps Dalvin Cook. Of course they weren't taking a RB early.

Most likely RB Dalvin Cook, Stephen said it was a RB.

If Awuzie was there highest rated CB after the 1st round end, and only 2 were taking until their pick at 60... Lewis most have been rated pretty darn high.

I'm thinking taco and Awuzie were rated high 2nd round and Lewis was ranked mid to late 2nd? Does that sound about right to anyone else?

I think that's how they had them rated.

For all the talk about Xavier Woods' 39 Wonderlic, Chidobe quietly scored a 35.

Byron Jones scored a 33.

We have a bunch of nerds back there in the secondary.

So.... we can safely say that our secondary scored higher than the entire roster of the Eagles...

And probably the combined crowd in Philly for the draft this past weekend.

So who are our 2 outside corners?


Scandrick is at his best in the slot.


Jourdan Lewis looks strictly like a nickel corner and now they are saying Chidobe is going to be there too?

Log jack at the 3rd corner spot.

I'd play Awuzie out wide.

Sigh. What makes Lewis strictly a nickel corner? Do y'all even watch other teams play?

so the Kevin king/taco decision was all made up? thought they had a round 1 grade on king

That was a media guy speculating, and people ran with it as fact.
The Cowboys then came out and said the remaining guy with a 1st round grade was a RB.

 

[Tristan]

Seems they want him in the slot

To begin, did you only read half the article? He clearly states that he can do it all including "outside" so Im not sure where you get youre "seems" from other than conjecture based on closed ears?

I thought Stephen confirmed that Cook was the guy they had graded as a 1st rounder and they passed him up for Taco?

Good draft pick...

That was more misinformation from Broaddus and crew.

The only 1st round grade they passed on was a RB.

 

[RoboQB]

Not for nothing but SI had Awuzie selected 29th overall by GB in their mock draft.

Great pick for us.

I'd play Awuzie out wide.

They played a lot of packages last season. One was with 4 Safeties together. (Wilcox and Heath plus the starters).

I think are planning even more snaps in the alternate packages this season.

Awuzie could play outside or slot CB, but also play that extra Safety role like Wilcox/Heath last season.

 

[xwalker]

"zone high cover 2"

Claiborne "HUH"?

 

[xwalker]

Yep. Not sure what's everyone's obsession is with King, but he's a scrub, and the Cowboys were never going to take him.

He was 1 of their 30 visits.

Brown is our best CB, Brown definitely starts
