Thoughts on this prospect? I'm actually all for drafting him if he is available (which is possible with all the QB action likely to happen in the top half of the 1st). I would take him over any of the linebackers likely to fall to 19 or any of the wide receivers.
If the Cowboys go defense, my preference would be:
Taven Bryan, Leighton Vander Esch, Harold Landry, or Vita Vea. Personally, I would be really happy with any of the four. I am not at all sure any of the four will be there at 19.
I am not nearly as comfortable with Rashad Evans or Da'Ron Payne. I have concerns about the productivity of both, and the physical ability of Evans.
If the Cowboys go OL in the first, my preference would be Nelson, Wynn, Daniels, Hernandez. I'm guessing two or three may be available at 19.
If the Cowboys go WR in the first, my preference is Ridley.
My concern with DJ Moore: He is built like a running back and plays receiver kind of like a running back would. By far his most success at Maryland was with screens, drag routes, and slants. He's really good after the catch, and breaks tackles. He was an average college receiver with intermediate and deeper routes.
I think what the Cowboys need in a receiver is someone that can threaten down the field and get the safety out of the box. Ridley had far more success down the field.
