Cowboys like to take best player at the position

I don't know that they will choose him but it sure appears he could fall. Would definitely be a good player available for that late.

Stephen was on The Fan today and they asked him about the possibility of a pass rusher such as Nolan Smith falling. He immediately brought up "having five safeties you like" and mentioned safety again before he finished answering the question.

It just so happens that the only first round safety this year is a guy who can also start at nickel corner. They met with him at the combine, so we know there's interest.

Some of the candidates, most will be long gone:

RB-Robinson
WR-JSN
TE-Kincaid/Mayer
T-Paris
G-Wright*
C-Schmitz
Edge-Anderson
DT-Carter
LB-Sanders
CB-Weatherspoon
S-Branch

Branch might be a sneaky mid first round pick. I don’t think he gets by the Eagles at 30.

How do you see Avilia as a run blocker? When I watch him, he comes off the snap quickly, but don't see him at much push. He seems to play too high and forget about his feet.

He pushed Mazi Smith around.

Torrence doesn't get great push. He gets enough but is content with good enough.

Neither are remotely close to Tyler Smith power.

Wright wont last to the 20s. Last IOL were being snapped up in the high teens.

Mayer, Wright and Sanders.

Njigba seems to be slipping. I could see him at 26 if he fell. I think Flowers might end up being the first wr taken, then Addison.

Think Mafi has similar power, but he is even more Raw then Tyler was entering the draft.

Branch is cool as long as you know what you're getting. He's not Minkah Fitzpatrick he's closer to a slower buddy baker. If that's what yall think is what we need ima let yall cook.

This team had Daxton Hill as a top 20 player on their board, and Branch is better than him IMO. I think Branch will be rated high on our board, but I’m not convinced we pull the trigger for that type of player.

We tend to forget that who fans or media experts think is best at a position does not always lineup who the Cowboys staff have as the BPA.

Most believe that Mayer or Kincaid are top 2 TEs but what if McClay has Washington as the best. Until we see who the Cowboys have listed on their board, then it is nothing but a guess.

They shouldn't have had that grade on Hill either but yes, branch is a better prospect
