Cowboys Pre-Draft Visits

[AsthmaField]

I’m hearing he’s going no later than 40s. He likely doesn’t make it to us. Anything can happen but unlikely

Probably, but man I love the way that guy plays. He’d be the perfect replacement for Heath.

Smart as hell and is one of the best tacklers in all of football. Loves the game and loves the contact.

He checks a lot of the boxes that I personally look for. I would probably look to move up for him if he gets anywhere close to 58.

A prefer Rapp and Abram over Thornhill but I wouldn’t hate it regardless.

I hadn't heard a couple guys mentioned here. Worthington from Colorado looks like a talented safety prospect.

new message board. who dis?

LOL just another diehard and thoroughly disgruntled DC fan. I’m 52 so you can’t be my dad LOL.

 

[Beaker42]

Man if Thornhill falls us I will do cartwheels

I want the CB Edwards kid from Kentucky.

Not that it matters but Brugler and Broaddus did not seem to high on Thornhill. I don't know why though. He is a ball hawk.

Maybe they are looking for box types, and dont think the Cowboys need a player like Thornhill.

Cowboys seem to disagree

 

[RS12]

Bad as they need a Safety gotta be D Line. Safety doesnt matter with the current mess in front of them.

 

[RS12]

Any idea why they brought in Dillard? He'll go at least 30 picks before they are on the clock.

What kind of safety is Thornhill?

He's an exceptional safety who is highly capable in both run coverage and the pass. He's a big hitter and covers deep like nobody's business. He's likely to be taken by the middle of the 2nd but if he's not and somehow drops, Dallas had better take him before another team does. He has the speed, 4.42 at the combine, the size and strength (21 lifts) to be great. He's capable of playing both safety and CB. He also had a 44" vertical jump. Not too bad, huh?

I've heard they love the Safety Thornhill and a DE that is expected to go early 2nd.

Yes, please!

Shhhh man.

How do you expect him to last til 58 with you hyping him like that???

 

[Bullflop]

Shhhh man.

Just facts. I simply answered a question.

Other teams and fans know about him!!!

Worry not; he's far from a secret by now.

We'd likely have to move up to draft him.

What kind of safety is Thornhill?

He played FS at Virginia but because he's a great cover guy and a great tackler I think his best position may be slot corner. He can play in the box too and has the speed/length/athleticism that Richards loves on the outside.

 

[cowboyec]

really like B.C. DE Zach Allen...he LOOKS like a Cowboy DE.
tough...good vs the run and can get to the QB.
didn't watch but a few BC games and he always stood out...always around the ball.

 

[cowboyec]

some DTs to keep an eye on...
Renell Wren,Az State
Gerald Willis,Miami
these 2 names keep coming up.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Seeing a lot of posters here talk about Jaylon Ferguson and Gerald Willis. I do not want either one of these players at all.

 

[Bullflop]

Yes, please!

Reportedly, Dallas really likes him. It'd be interesting to see which position they might want him for (Safety or Slot.)

Or both.

Honestly, I like how NFL.com has their Top 8 Safeties graded:

Rapp 5.91
D. Thompson 5.90
Gardner-Johnson 5.90
Hooker 5.89
Abram 5.85
Adderley 5.82
Thornhill 5.76
Worthington 5.75

Shows just how close these guys are in their minds. There just doesn't seem to be that consensus Top guy - instead maybe 8 guys that all offer really good upside that have a few questions about their games. It's all going to come down to what "type" you prefer/need. Anyone one of them can offer something in tandem with Woods - just as long as Heath gets knocked back to backup/special team guy.
