Nick Eatman who is usually a highly reliable source. Said he keeps hearing Billings name around valley ranch .

Strengths
Elite power with a weightlifting background. Generates booming power from hip explosion and when his leverage is on point, he can be menacing. Moved from offensive line to defensive line in college and is getting better by leaps and bounds each year. Drops his pad level even lower when splitting double teams and charging through gaps. Uses violent, powerful swats and slaps to free of opposing hand placement. Instant reaction time makes it difficult to cross his face. Gets arm extension into blocker and stays clean as he pursues laterally. Ridiculous closing burst to the sideline for a big man. Dominates single blocks and is a surefire tackler when he gets hands on a running back. Improving pass rusher with an effective bull rush.

Bottom Line
Billings won't turn 21 until March of 2016, but he has the overwhelming strength of a full-grown NFL defensive tackle. With elite power and unusual closing speed for a big man, Billings has a chance to become something we rarely see -- a playmaking nose tackle with the ability to dominate at the point of attack. Teams will decide through research and interviews whether Billings can handle the NFL life at such a young age, but if he can, he has all-pro potential.

what about Reggie Ragland? i know he is not a lineman, but we can always use another good linebacker

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/reggie-ragland?id=2555169

We would need to use our # 34 to get him - I think. The ILB I have had my eye on for awhile now is Josh Perry. Big, and very fluid. I know SJ has said Lber is not a priority but, if Perry was there in the 3rd. I would seriously consider him as McClain's eventual replacement.

 

[CATCH17]

Any new rumors?

 

[Fredd]

pc problems, brother (techy guy) to get here shortly, then the Guinness starts to flow

 

[dallasdave]

read somewhere here today SJ said LB is not a priority

How about QB and DE

 

[The Natural]

is it just my computer or is there no feed for the Zeke press conference?

 

[Silver N Blue]

How about QB and DE

Dodd or Spence is who I want with that first pick tonight

 

[dallasdave]

Dodd or Spence is who I want with that first pick tonight

Wow !!! I want Spence myself !!!! Great minds do think alike !!!

 

[CATCH17]

Dodd or Spence is who I want with that first pick tonight

Radio is saying they are hearing it's Dodd or Ogbah.. Hopefully not Dodd.

 

[Sasquatch]

If the pick is Dodd does that mean the Gregory pick was a waste?

 

[Risen Star]

is it just my computer or is there no feed for the Zeke press conference?

I haven't been able to view it either.

 

[dallasdave]

I haven't been able to view it either.

Good point

 

[gdogg24]

I'd be happy with Billings or Spence, hell if they can swing a trade for an extra second round pick I wouldn't be against going after both of them

DC.com conference not working...go figure!

 

[Risen Star]

Let's say you can't watch tonight and will check in later to see how the Cowboys did. All you'd have to do to know if it's good or bad is check out @Alexander 's profile. See how many times he's posted.

Very few posts equates to a Go Cowboys!

If he's been on all night, just log off and go to bed. It's not worth getting upset about. Move on to day 3.

They have been really bad this draft. Just completely inept. The entire group should be fired.

 

[DuDa]

Here is my wish list:

Billings
Jack
Ogbah
Dodd

 

[Risen Star]

Wentz has arrived in Philly. I can sense him.
