Because these are players who absolutely dominate at their respective positions. And the Cowboys are not as rigid as you may think. Cowboys never drafted a first round OL under Jerry, and he goes and drafts 3. Marinelli is supposedly not a man coverage DC, but Cowboys played almost exclusively man in 2015. And Billings is more than just crazy powerful and surprisingly athletic, he is svelte enough (310) and twitchy enough to spark some man lust in Marnelli and the coaching staff.

And as good as Billings looked at NT, he looks just as destructive at OL. Combine his violent play, power, production, athleticism with his hustle/work ethic, you have the definition of RKG. Billings also is a truly someone who can defeat double teams, so should make Lawrence, Crawford(s) and Gregory even better. If this guy falls to the 2nd, Cowboys should be hurtling toward the podium for this pick.

I would absolutely be on board with drafting him but we need qb at the top and he likely will not make it to our rd 2 pick

The biggest issue with these big guys with talent is their love for the game and desire to keep working

If he has those, he certainly has the talent

He will be a top 20 pick... Special talent. I would love for him to be the 1 technique beside Crawford.

The great news is that this draft is loaded with DT talent.
