Cowboys To Work Out NIU DT Ken Bishop

[Oh_Canada]

He is my #2 pet cat with Billy Turner as #1.

Seeing him run over those small school OLinemen is comical.

I'm with you on both guys and throw in Zack Kerr and Jerrick McKinnon for me as small school pet cats the Cowboys could use.

It seems like we've only been looking at 3-techs (with Bishop, Donald, Jernigan and Reid from Princeton). Also, Melton and McClain are pretty much 3-techs. Like I've heard people say in the past, it seems like Marinelli only goes after 3-tech DTs weighing in the 290-300 lb range and whoever isn't good enough to start at the 3 starts at the 1. I don't see us getting a 330 lb run-stuffing NT. I see us pretty much having 5 or 6 guys who could play either DT position. I may be wrong.

Which is why I wouldn't be surprised if we draft a guy like Jernigan who ends up playing the 1. When Marinelli said you don't draft 1-techs in the early rounds, I think he was referring to traditional 1's. But that doesn't mean he won't start a guy like Jernigan (or even McClain) at the 1.

I think most people expect Jernigan to be a 1.

McClain was a 3-4 NT last year. He is expected to be a 1 here.

I think Ken Bishop could play either.
