Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys Select CB Jourdan Lewis -3rd Round (92nd overall)

Im sensing a theme here. Both CBs they picked aren't guys who physically wow you with athletic traits. What sets them apart is the competitive drive they have as DBs. Looks like they are looking for tough minded Dbs. Guys who aren't going to sulk after they get burnt one time. Come back and fight harder.

Huh? Chidobi and Jourdan are quick, fast, and athletic..... and tough minded.

ESPN has him weighing 188, the graphic on here says 175.

Graphic is outdated. He's 188 lbs.

Agreed. And generally speaking, we are sticking to our big program/conference guiding principle for player selection. No more small school or lower division "gems"...early round picks are from proven commodities competing at the highest level. The secret to our draft success Big Willy style.

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but he looks like he's way too grabby. He's going to get eaten alive with PI if he doesn't clean it up.

Hate it! Looks like Jerry has more control then everyone thinks. Back to gambling on players with potential "character" issues. How many players will this make in the past 3-4 years? I'm so sick and tired of it.

On top of that, he may be a strong tackler and good at coverage but he will get smoked by the taller receivers (ie NY's Engram and Marshall). He also has a tendency to draw a lot of flags. PI is the absolute worst penalty a team can get in the NFL. This was a step back IMO.

Undercover NYG fans on this board took a slap to the face.

Strengths
Ultra-competitive with an overwhelming drive to succeed. Allowed just seven catches in 2016 for completion percentage against of 23.3. An annoyance from press coverage. Squats on top of his target waiting to punch and impede. Twitchy feet can stick and close to ball instantly when he reads pass. Able to flip hips and accelerate quickly. Has lateral quickness and agility to flourish from the slot. Has adequate recovery speed to make up for an early mistake. Finds ball with back to quarterback as well as anyone in college. Maintains tight coverage downfield and waits for receiver's eyes to cue him in on when to turn and find it. In three years as a starter, credited with 42 passes defensed, including six interceptions. Allowed just two touchdowns during same time frame. Showed off ball skills and athleticism with highlight reel, one-handed interception against Wisconsin. Has special teams experience as a gunner and in return game.


The bolded is just what this team needs.

I can't just keep it all smiles and sunshine.

Here are the negatives.

Weaknesses
Diminutive frame. Limited in coverage options due to matchup concerns against elite NFL size. Has to work overtime to disengage from physical wideouts in run support. Tape shows small delay in reaction when attempting to mirror an inside release. Tendency to grab if beaten early off the line. Penalized 14 times over career with eight pass interferences. Will allow his man a head start past him when he starts reckless eyeballing the quarterback from off coverage. Might lack necessary spring to win 50-50 balls at the high point.

Oscan is undersized too, who cares

 

[TheHerd]

Love him on the field, but it's hard to imagine he won't be suspended.

 

[aria]

Lol. Go home aria you're drunk

Ha, I wish. This dude just seems like a liability to me. Maybe I shouldn't have said "hate it" but I strongly dislike it, I hope he probes me wrong.
