Is he in play at #4?

If we don't bring back Greg Hardy the DL needs more pass rush help and despite using essentially two seconds and a third on Gregory and Lawrence in the last two drafts the chance to grab the best pass rusher in this draft class may be too much to pass up.

Not sure if he will be a 'box' player or not on our board.

Where would he stack up against last years class of pass rushers Dante Fowler and Vic Beasley.

I have seen him in mocks at the mid to back of round 1. I think is ability is top ten in this draft class.

I would say no. Too high. If he makes to our 2nd, highly doubt it, then I am all for it.

I don't think so. At least not at this point. However, after the Combine, he may improve his draft stock.

It's really impossible to know though. The Cowboys value explosiveness in their players and if he has a really great SPARQ score, they may just do it.

Broaddus said on Cowboys beak people at Ohio St will tell you Spence is a better player than Bosa. Compared Bosa to Greg Ellis type talent. Has a first round grade on Spence.

Highly doubtful he gets drafted that high.........probably falls like Gregory did last year, maybe not to the 2nd round, but he will still fall.

And for those that don't know, Noah got kicked off the team at Ohio State because he tested positive for Ecstasy multiple times and was finally indefinitely suspended by the Big 10.

I think he is probably a box player for us, meaning he is tagged as not draft eligible...........that is what we did with the Honey Badger.

Think he is gonna end up going to the chargers at 3. The guy impressed everybody apparently on changing his life around and that was his only knock. Guy is going to climb

That's what I've been saying about Bosa as well.

He won't validate a top 5 pick imo.

I wouldn't use a pick on a de just pick one up on a short deal in fa because we used a second on Gregory and he hasn't even had a real chance yet. Idk why people want a de in the top 3 rounds... is Gregory already being ruled out as a starter in a few years

I've said it before.
Myles Jack is the only defensive player 4th round worthy.

How many 250lb players can we afford to have on our dline???

The opposition wouldn't have to bother passing.

It has to be Noah Spence right?

I just don't feel Bosa is worth the pick and I can't imagine Myles JAck being so good that he validates a top 5 pick.

How many 4-3 NFL LB's right now would validate a top 5 pick?

I just can't imagine he is.



So if Dallas decides they want a defender with their first pick I hope they go with Spence or they get out of the pick and add some quantity to our draft and get back up into the first round for Wentz.

More and more I want to trade down. Not a great QB class and the rest of these guys are huge stretches as top 5 picks (other than Tunsil)

Tampa and Chicago's defenses were at their best when they had two All-Pro-caliber linebackers on the field. If we're going to run this 4-3, we need those type of players at MLB and WLB. We've got one in Lee as long as he can stay healthy.

Spence at 4 is a total reach. He's shooting up draft boards but into the Top 5?

Same.. Although I think Wentz is going to be a good one if the Cowboys don't want a QB at 4 I hope we run from that pick and load up on draft picks.


There isn't any true quality at the top of this draft other than Tunsil imo so get out of that pick and throw some numbers at our problems.

Well.. He's probably the best defender in this draft and character concerns are the only reason he wouldn't be the top defender picked imo.

I think you either fall in love with a qb or trade down to someone who does. If you can find a partner to trade in the 10-15 range I'd even take below chart value in a deal. Decent chance you still land spence, and if not then grab zeke elliott and you get am extra 2nd/3rd rounder.

I like spence , but it's hard for me to take a guy with off field issues in the top 5
