Watching highlights of Bosa on Youtube, I had to laugh out loud at how easily he dominated anyone facing him. He plays multiple positions, having manned all four in OSU's 4-3 front. Forget his purported sagging stats compared to 2014. In 2015, Bosa faced double & triple teams constantly, yet was still awarded Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year once again. He had just five sacks, yet had 16 TFLs, 15 QBHs, & put at least two QBs out of the game this year. Of all the defensive linemen I've scouted, none plays even close to Bosa's level. Bosa is incredibly strong, often tossing offensive linemen aside like rag dolls. Just when they get set for another bull rush, Bosa sweeps passed them with his speed. His hands are as quick as his feet, which allows him to separate faster than anyone in the NCAA. Add relentless tenacity, & I believe that Bosa is better coming out of college than J.J. Watt was. Not saying he will grow to become a Watt, but Bosa will walk into camp as the hands down best DL on the team. The fact that he can play anywhere, including OLB, will have Rod Marinelli drooling. If Bosa's not there at 4, I hope the team trades down a couple of times & picks up extra 2nd round picks, then takes Zeke Elliott at around 16.

Bosa is quite possible at 4 if 2 QBs go ahead of us (quite possible though might require a trade as I don't see the Titans or Chargers going QB in this years draft). If Tunsil goes 1, Goff/Lynch 2 (anyone believe for a second that the Browns don't go QB?), and someone else trades for the other at 3... Bosa would be an absolute steal at 4.

only one problem. He can't get to QB and that was against inferior competition.

CowboysZone ULTIMATE Fan
I am an Ohio State fan, and watched every game he has played. I would not complain at all if he was our pick. But I would not whine if he wasn't. Depending who they pick at the time though. LOL.
If they picked Ramsey or Treadwell, ok, if they picked Buckner, yes we all should whine.
However, if we sign Hardy, there are other players that would help more. Like a future QB. LOL.

There were times I watched, and wondered where he was at in some games. But then again, as posted, he was doubled and triple teamed at times.
And plus it is the high expectation deal. Like we did with Hardy, thought he should pressure the QB or get a sack every play.

If he is there, and is your BPA at the time, you take him.

Go back to his 2014 season. Besides, this past season, he allowed his teammates to get more sacks because he forced the play their way. Every coach in the Big Ten voted him the DPOY again, so I think they know a little more than you what an impact player he was & is.

And he doesn't show the physical traits that would lead you to believe he'll do it at the next level..

The guy looks so overrated.

he'll be a real solid player but a pro bowler I dont think so

Bosa will not be an impact player like Von Miller or DeMarcus Ware. I know you just watched that Denver defense and think Bosa will solve the Cowboys pass rushing problems but he won't.

I fear you are right after Jerry just watched Denver win a SB without a QB. Cant see Bosa playing up to a top 4 pick though.

Hearing some talk now that Bosa will be a Greg Ellis type, solid but not spectacular. Maybe not even a double digit sack guy regularly. Don't like the sound of that at pick 4. Plus the earlier posts from a few weeks ago was talking about Bosa possibly not grading out well at the combine for explosive type traits. May move the cowboys off of him.
Not advocating Spence at the moment at 4 but wondering how much that explosive Bronco pass rush helped his stock in the draft at this is a copy cat league.

It's funny because draft guys were hyping him and Cowboyszone for the most part wasn't buying it and now you're hearing reports that he may be overrated.

He's a nice solid player don't get me wrong. I just don't think he even has Jared Allen type potential.

If you watch Brandon Weeden college highlights he looks like the next tom brady too
