Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys Select S Xavier Woods -- 6th Round (191st overall)

[DOUBLE WING]

I think the Woods hype has gotten a little out of control. Ever since we found out he was one of the 30 visits, his legend has grown rapidly to the point where people were shocked he "fell" this far when in reality, this is probably right about where he should have been picked.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Should compete with Blanton and Frazier for that 3rd Safety role

 

[lwehlers]

great pick but why did wood slide to the sixth round when a lot of other safeties went before him. was there a injury or off the field issue. or did he not face quality teams this past season. he looks like he going to be a great steal and maybe a future starter in a couple of years if he works out.

They've been talking about him on the draft show since pick 92.

I see him as a future Starter at SS.

The young man played high school and college ball in my neck of the woods. His coverage skills have room for growth but you will not find a more dedicated student of the game. He will get better. How much better is up to him.

FS Byron Jones
SS Xavier Woods
LB Jaylon Smith
CB Anthony Brown
CB Chidobe Awuzie
CB Jourdan Lewis
DL Charles Tapper
DL David Irving
DL Malik Collins
DL Taco Charlton

All of a sudden Defense looks young, talented, some meanness to it and has a very high ceiling

 

[CWR]

Man its a rare draft when this place is overwhelmingly positive!

He fell this deep into the draft because this was a strong draft for DBs and Safeties. Otherwise he would have gone a lot higher.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

So is he a SS with those ball skills (14 ints) or is he a backup to BJones at FS? If he's a SS, then we have 4 competing there.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Any idea why he dropped?

Small school, small size, lack of discipline, lack of top end speed.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Maybe this draft will end up like the 1981 San Francisco 49ers draft where they selected (3) rookie starters in the secondary (Lott, Wright, and Williamson).

 

[darthseinfeld]

I see him as a future Starter at SS.

I like him alot at SS. His ball skills are something this secondary really needs.

He needs alot of work though

 

[jblaze2004]

looks like a strong safety the way he hits. But FS with his ball skills. Versatility;

 

[LocimusPrime]

That's what I picture risen to look like

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He is an intriguing prospect but he needs to hit the weight room immediately.

 

[TheCount]

No more small school underwear olympics champ projects. We are now getting football players who can actually play football from day one.

It wasn't even just underwear Olympics. They took some guys that didn't even have athletic upside as well. It was all over the place with no actual draft strategy or approach.

Almost as bad as the Darius Jackson hype. You would think that guy was an All-American

DB coach says they put them where they play well and he's a nickel, box kind of guy and can cover the slot.
