They are probably the only ones that don't see it.I completely agree with the idea that pass coverage is aided by pressure and pressure up the middle leads to good things for the defense. I am also advocating drafting Barmore in the 1st round, just not at 10. If they can trade down, pick up a 3rd round pick then take Barmore in the 1st and Samuel, or Stokes in the 2nd that would be the start of a pretty good draft. That is one way to address the defense in this draft but there are others. There are a couple of insanely powerful DTs who may not be as athletic that can be had in the 3rd round as well. I just hope the Cowboys have DT on their radar.
Makes sense
Best case is a trade down to 15-18 and take Barmore

That’s kind of where I’m leaning as well. Gregory Dlaw basham and now anae is a nice enough rotation at DE. It’s not incredible but it’s sufficient IF they get help in the middle. I like the idea of Surtain and McNeill in the second however.Makes sense

He says the same thing as Orlando Scandrick did on Undisputed Sounds like it's Barmore.
Not sure about virtual one on one but we sent the big guns to the Alabama pro day.do we know if they have any discussions with Barmore?
yep. just curious as we know Surtain is on there radar, just hadn't seen any specifics on Barmore. Just have a feeling that they would not take him anywhere in the first round. We shall see.Not sure about virtual one on one but we sent the big guns to the Alabama pro day.
I would love Surtain at 10. For me the next best DT would be Levi Onwuzurike from Washington if he was there at 44. Chris Simms rated him the best DT in the draft. He played nose tackle but has the strength and quickness to get a quality pass rush on the interior.yep. just curious as we know Surtain is on there radar, just hadn't seen any specifics on Barmore.

I am ok with Surtain and Grant. I think we are good at 3T but we need a run stuffer. Shelvin in the 3rd or 4th would be nice.McNeill is a 1T and most people have him in rd 3 range. If we take Surtain in 1 then we lose both Moehrig and Barmore and will likely take Grant or Williams in 2

Good Point. I actually just did a throwback draft wiith a trade back that netted 12 players with five in the top 100. We're bound to hit on some of the other seven like we did with Dak and Wilson.The best strategy at the top of the draft to me is to maximize top 100 picks
also remember that while Surtain is better, the drop off between Horn and Stokes is not a lot and this scheme does not require elite athleticism just good disciplined physical CB play
with these 2 factors in mind the best strategy would be a trade down to 15-18 range
rd 1: Moehrig
2a: Kevi/Barmore/Nixon
2b: trade up using our rd 4 or 5 pick to get Stokes
that’s a much better haul than Surtain and Levi IMO
Why not grab both?McNeill is a 1T and most people have him in rd 3 range. If we take Surtain in 1 then we lose both Moehrig and Barmore and will likely take Grant or Williams in 2
