Dallas Cowboys Draft: Fixing the Pass Rush
http://thelandryhat.com/2017/04/21/dallas-cowboys-draft-fixing-pass-rush/
...This group includes Tennessee’s Derek Barnett, Michigan’s Taco Charlton, and UCLA’s Takkarist McKinley. Of the three, McKinley is the best fit for the Cowboys. He possesses the most important traits Dallas needs in their defensive ends, elite quickness and long arms. Takk was a track star in high school and it is evident in his explosive burst off the snap...even compares this part of Takk’s game to that of Ware.
“[Takk McKinley] has excellent length and knows how to use his big hands to keep blockers off his frame. McKinley’s burst and timing are top-tier coming off the line of scrimmage,” Miller wrote recently. “He’s able to time the snap but also beats tackles with speed and great leverage. There’s some DeMarcus Ware to his game. Even with a shoulder injury, he stood out at the combine with his effort and willingness to play hurt.”
If the Cowboys’ team doctors feel comfortable with his recovery, management should have no reservations taking McKinley at the end of the first round. Takk would give Dallas the explosive edge rusher they have been sorely missing and drastically improve their chances of playing in early February.
