Mayock on the FAN

[Idgit]

If Bosa is not going to be a "flashy sack guy", then why take him? Makes no sense whatsoever.

He's a good, consistent pressure player. If all he's doing is demanding attention and making the QB uncomfortable, he's worth the pick.

I don't really like him, either, but he's universally regarded a top 5 player in this draft and the top DL for a reason.

Yesterday afternoon on the way home Mayock was asked who he would pick if he was the GM. He said

Wentz or Goff with no hesitation

If both of those players were gone his next two would be either;

Zeke or Bosa...

He gave comparisons and some overview for each. I will try and capture everything;
Wentz-compared him to Luck. However he did say he does not have the reps Luck had coming out and has a larger downside because of that coming out.
Goff-compared him to Ryan-said he has the same zip and measureables as Ryan---
Bosa-said he is not going to be the flashy sack guy but he is going to be consistent and a force on the DL--was asked about Spence lasting until Rd 2 and he said he didn't think he would last that long..
Zeke-out of the bunch the one with the best chance behind the Dallas OL to have an immediate impact--if neither of the QBs are available it would be hard decision between Zeke/Bosa--said there is several quality RBs which will be available in rds 3-5
He did answer a question about the over-hyped Henry--said in his opinion Henry was not worth a 2nd rd pick and he felt he would slip into rd 3

Hopefully I captured it all pretty good stuff if you want one of those four guys imo.

Nice summary. I said the same about Henry. I think he falls out of the first - definitely. The only hesitation I have is with Carolina and, maybe, Denver.

Also, I assume Mayock was saying if he were the Cowboys GM, right?

Just say Nosa to Bosa.

I like that.

When I hear draft experts say that, I think of Greg Ellis. Dependable, consistent, but not worthy of the 8th pick in the draft, just as Bosa is not worthy of the 4th pick of the draft based on his profile and projection.

That's the comparison people make. Though, if you look back at that 1998 draft, there probably aren't many more than 7 or 8 guys you'd take over Ellis in that first round, either. Manning, Woodson, Moss. Maybe Fred Taylor. Maybe Takeo Spikes. Keith Brooking you'd want, for sure.

Yes they asked him to answer those questions as if he was the GM.

But that is the point, if he's truly not a special pass rusher he has no business going that high.

He's better at generating pressure than he is at necessarily generating sacks. We could use either, frankly.

Nice hopefully I captured everything correctly.

I am very uncomfortable with how much I'm agreeing with Mayock this year.

Mayock just slammed you for your previous hate and present confession.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Wentz
Goff
Zeke
Bosa

One of those 4 will probably be our pick unless we trade down. Ramsey won't last IMO. Very outside chance we go Jack.

Jack has a torn meniscus. I expect he will drop more than people think.
