Ty’Ron Hopper, Missouri

Jaylan Ford, Texas
Curtis Jacobs, Penn State
Tyrice Knight, UTEP
Marist Liufau, Notre Dame
Darius Muasau, UCLA

 

[KingintheNorth]

Really like Colson, Hopper, and Knight from that list. Muasau late Day 3 or Priority UDFA too.

I'm not seeing the hype with Cooper. Plays hesitant to me.


Hopefully we meet with Payton Wilson and Trevin Wallace.

If they could put Muasau's instincts in either Cooper or Colson's body, you'd have the perfect LB. Muasau's size and athleticism are apparently the only things holding him back.

Just give me the dudes with good eyes and instincts for once. If instincts are a negative in scouting report pass...

Colson: meh
Cooper: LFG
Trotter: Yes, go meet him
Ford: no
Liufau: no

Best MLB instincts in the draft are probably Trotter and Muasau from UCLA.

Both likely off our board due to size.

Hmmm...Zimmer had Kendricks who, like those 2, is 6', 230-235ish.

We have a new DC...don't think we can make any of those assumptions.

He prefers bigger LBs that's exactly why I'm making that presumption lol

How about all the hype Colson is getting, don't get it, I see a linebacker with terrible instincts and run fits.

Kendrick’s was one of his main guys right? He was like 230.

He guesses a lot, Jaylon Smith flashbacks.

Athletic and physical though.

I'm not a fan either. Between the missed gaps and the fly-by missed tackles when he does read it right, it really seems like he's playing out of control.

If you just want him to attack the line of scrimmage though, he's got Parsons type of juice.

Trotters comp is Nick Bolton. We probably won’t meet with him lol.

Don’t see that comp with him, but I get the feeling they will look more towards fa to address the kb need and might look more towards depth in the draft. Hearing good things about your Carolina Panther backer

I do not care how athletic a linebacker is without instincts at the position. However, the Cowboys always are attracted to those type of linebackers.

Oh I hope we do too…but I think we agree if we’re looking to draft a LBr early we want one with + instincts.

Problem is there is only a few quality prospects at the position. Cooper, Turner are clearly ahead of the others I watched

I think Trotter is a better prospect than anyone on our current roster was…just not sure if he’ll be that in year 1 or if it’ll take a little time.
