I thought they would have picked a DT by now but it sounds like Short and Logan went right before they could take them. I think they take a RB in the 4th, but if they haven't taken a DT by then Monte Kiffen will be baking a cake with a file in it for Josh Brent.

Don't like the pick.

He's so raw how is he going to make an immediate impact?

He played 4 different positions in college!

No no he's our centerfielder. Who cares that he's barely played and Rambo and Thomas were there. Smh

He played Safety for a year. So not much experience for our untested injured safeties.

Add out backup TE, a WR and random reach linemen and we are on point.

You all should be excited. He actually has instincts unlike AOA and some of the other scrubs we have brought in.

People keep bringing up Rambo like the Cowboys even considered the guy.

So bummed hearing how raw this guy is, and then got kicked in the gut when learning the Giants drafted Moore one pick later.

At the Senior Bowl, the game's executive director Phil Savage said Wilcox was the best safety of the bunch.

"Offense helped me a lot with footwork, ball skills, understanding offenses, understanding route combinations," Wilcox said. "I think (switching positions) shows that I’m accountable. I can come in almost immediately, learn the defense and be a starter. I didn’t even start a whole year at safety. I started five months. That says a lot about me. I can pick the system fast, have great knowledge and great ball skills.”

Don't worry. You guys will grow to love this guy the way you grew to love Harris. He's very similar, and will make plays.

Is savage the guy who used to draft for the browns? Ok

Another Jerry development project.

I like the talent and the potential. But I'm tired of the projects. I really don't want him to become another AOA/Matt Johnson. We need guys that can contribute right away.

Not at all mad about this pick.

This kid is a very real athlete. He isn't Vaccaro but we just gave up pick 80 not 14.

We really needed to come out of this draft with a safety and this guy was the apple of the Dallas eye.

Still lots of depth at RB, DT and OT in this draft.

A Jerry special!..he can convert him to any secondary position

No but they're saying the team is hoping that will help him get interceptions, due to his time on offense.

It might help more if he had played the position longer, but whatever.
