National Visits, Dallas Day and Private Workouts

[WoodysGirl]

@TheJordanRoss: RT @nfldraftscout: Damarious Randall finished his visit w/ the #Cowboys. Been told they love him & consider him the best safety in the class

 

[Silver N Blue]

True and not necessarily all 1st rounders. We're probably going defense in the 1st unless Gurley falls to us.

And very well could be some "smokescreen" going on.

Reading reports that he might be better suited for SS even though it looks like he has the speed and range to play FS.

Montgomery is interesting. No interest in Devin Smith.

 

[reddyuta]

Eli Harold is interesting,dont think he can play DE but he might play that OTTO position.

Montgomery is interesting. No interest in Devin Smith.

As a prospect or as having to use a 2nd round pick?

I don't like the thought of using a pick in the top two rounds on WR but watching the Michigan St, Wisconsin, and Illinois super cuts and I can see why the team would be interested in him. Might be Garrett's ideal kind of WR. Wouldn't love it but if he's BPA, I can see it. I'd liken it to Green Bay taking Cobb when they were already stacked at WR. (not that we're stacked)

 

[reddyuta]

I would consider Devin smith,i have not seen a guy who can track the deep ball like him in a while,plus he is really fast.

All of it.

I dislike how he is one dimensional in his route running.

I also have no interest in adding another WR in the top three rounds.

We are not the Packers and Romo is not Aaron Rodgers in his prime. We need to run the football. Adding another premium round WR will only encourage drifting away from the running attack.

sorry but i disagree,.having a real speed threat will actually make our run game better and it will also make life easy for Dez Bryant,teams will think twice about doubling Dez and stacking the box exclusively on early downs if he is lined opposite Dez.

I actually really like Gordon a lot and have him right there with Gurley. I wouldn't be upset if they passed on KJ, Kendricks, or Odighizuwa and picked Gordan. Gurley runs through people better through contact and is more 'explosive' but Gordan is better in short area quickness and making people miss. He reminds me a lot of Ray Rice but with better speed.

I just see Gordan lasting longer frankly.

So you want to spend a top choice in the first or second round on a "threat"?

Again, this team needs a running game. Not another luxury choice for the passing game that will never materialize.

Been there, still dealing with that with Escobar.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

That is likely because he looks clueless in space.

Not really but this offense has been missing the speed threat since forever,I am glad they are looking at guys Like Devin smith and Conley.

Conley is a different story. I understand wanting a speed threat. It is just not that a top choice has to be spent trying to acquire it.

It also will fill a need of adding a legitimate backup with size for now and have some talent in the pipeline for the future. To me, the Cowboys are paper thin at WR. You have Bryant and Williams and then really nothing to back those players up. Beasley's a slot guy only. Street is marginal.

I wouldn't be against taking a WR in the first round.

I dont know about the first Rd but i think the cowboys want to add the speed element to the offense and i believe they really like noth Devin smith and Conley.If they trade out of the first rd then he might be a target if the Rbs get taken.

What happens if Dez or williams get injured ?

If it's the best player avaliable send in the card. It would help if he could return kicks and punts.
