126 -- Cowboys -- Akwasi Owusu-Ansah

Back to back small-school kids, I love it. Ansah is one of my favorite developmental prospects in the draft from IUP. He's a 6-1, 207 pound corner that run a sub-4.4 40 at the Ohio St. Pro Day. He may be raw, but he will provide immediate help on the Cowboys' special teams. He had 7 return TDs and can be a gunner and a jammer as well. If he struggles on the corner, he's big enough and physical enough to play free safety, and I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the plan for the Cowboys.

Nice, nice pick.

Adding an early 6th + drafting this guy sure rocks.

This draft is more about quality then quantity. Unlike last year. We are deep enough where we don't need many players, just good players.

 

[jterrell]

one of the very best athletes in the draft.
he has elite potential.

4.32, 21 reps at 225 even though his shoulder needed surgery, 45+" vert.
over 6 foot and 207 or so.

this kid is a beast.

replaces hurd as the gunner imho.
replaces watkins as backup FS.

 

[Chuck 54]

Ran a 4.32 at the Combine...official.

Junior year: 8 interceptions

Senior year: 5 TD's on special teams...3 punt returns and 2 ko returns

Questions: against inferior talent in a small conference; and he just had shoulder surgery late in the season after an injury.

My thoughts: perfect CB talent who is destined to be our FS at some point.

6.25' 205 lbs

Our GM sucks,why does he draft these clowns,we need a real GM..."sarcasm"...great job cowboys

4.32? Holy !@#$.........that's Deion fast......

 

[theogt]

So this is immediately our return guy?

I think they will look to play him at FS. He can do KR in the meantime.

 

[CCBoy]

The first comment to my wife today day was.....after Oakland took Campbell, I hope Dallas goes ahead and gets Ansah. Nice pick and expands special teams as well. You can't argue with top end speed, and coming from a 'small' school, and seeing Hall of Famers from my school as well, I like the pick a lot. The kid will be directed and a worker.

 

[NeonNinja]

I think he will be the KR and Dez will handle punts imo.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Great pick.

 

[tchoice23]

4.32? Holy !@#$.........that's Deion fast......

No. Deion is faster. There is only one Deion Sanders. Rest are just impostors.

 

[newlander]

Dash is right...Dez on punts while he interns (briefly) at WR and Ansah for KR duties while he interns the whole season at FS.....good plan.

 

[WG5516]

Awesome pick. Beautiful actually.

 

[theogt]

I dunno. After watching that highlight reel, this guy has a knack for returns.
