Draft rumours and info

[unionjack8]

Figure we could have a thread for tweets and info from media types all in one thread rather than it being missed in individual player threads and/or starting new ones about the said player.

If it doesn't get traction so be it...

Wow some teams have Henderson above okudah? Or that’s just being put out there to throw teams off.

I have seen some tweets on Ruiz, including some saying he could slide into the first round.

I never got it with Epenesa. He seems like a solid enough guy but athletically, he seems like Crawford. I suspect teams in the Top 20 would rather take players with more upside than what I think Epenesa has.

reminder: players don't rise and fall this time of year.

Media just catches up with what teams actually want/think and adjust their boards accordingly.

I wonder how much of that is just people assuming we will take a C and not based on any chatter coming from Cowboys' sources.

I bet those teams put a ton of value in Sparq

I think Crawford+ is a good way to look at Epenasa. Probably best fit as a 3-4 DE, much like we originally drafted Crawford to be. However I think he should be a much better rusher than Crawford at the pro level.

Dont see him as a 1st, but I think he is a solid 2nd pick. A guy that could get 700 snaps a year all over the line and get maybe 6 or 7 sacks

I've seen people project him to us. I haven't heard anyone say we love him. It would be a major fail if we took him

Exactly my thought

Taking Ruiz when you have looney and McGovern stinks of panic

I attribute it more to outsiders playing connect-the-dots due to Frederick's retirement more than someone having any inside information.

That’s what I think it is. Trying to relive the 2013 draft with us trading back. No way he would be BPA at 17. He would be a good option in the 2nd tho.

It looks like Peter King has given it the most momentum. But remind me again, when the last time was that King actually broke NFL news, much less Cowboys news?

I thought the exact same thing...just connecting dots....at #17 would be crazy at #31 to #52 a thought
