I wrote it. I work for an NFL team and that is pretty much my assessment on him. Like I said, some may not like him as much as I do but to not be drafted is amazing to me. You can't watch game tape of him and tell me there are more than 200 better players than Hoyte in the country. There has to be something else going on with him that I don't know about. I'm telling you, if he is indeed on the Cowboys, watch him closely in training camp. I wouldn't be given such a glowing review of someone that wasn't even drafted if I hadn't seen something.

And just to give you some info, we had Darnell Bing rated as a 5th round prospect, Ashton Youboty rated as a late-third and Pat Watkins as a sixth, so we had a pretty good handle on a lot of players in this draft. Either I'm just way off on Hoyte or I'm missing something. He's really the only player we really miss projected by more than two rounds that I can think of. Also, it's just not me, it's me and the guys I work with so it's not like other opinions aren't used in these evaluations and they all loved Hoyte as well.

Hoyte looks awesome. It sure looks like he plays alot faster than his times (5.0 40). Just a question, what were the reasons Watkins was rated a 6th rounder through the eyes of an NFL team?

McCombs sold the team...Ziggy Wolf or something like that is the owner now.

I watched the vid and came away unimpressed. I think Parham is a much better prospect.

I'm interested who might have been saying unflattering things about Kai Parham (post #14 in this thread)? Surely it wasn't Al Groh, was it? I was under the impression that was one of his all-time favorite kids.

Wrong thread, but which unflattering comments are you refering to? I haven't heard many negatives about him besides his poor 40 time and his lack of cover ability.

No way Shanle gets cut......... not after the time they have invested in him. and he is a valuable backup with good coverage ability.

If I were Shanle I wouldnt bother buying a home in Dallas

he'll be here for TC, but if he makes it to the final cutdown I will be surprised

There are reports floating around out there that the Cowboys signed Oliver Hoyte, although I can't confirm them. If they did, Dallas should be arrested for stealing.

.

according to this he signed with the Vikes:

I hope we signed Hoyte cause if he plays like he did in that highlight clip he'd make my team.

Somebody has to get cut. Shanle has no upside. The Cowboys will keep players with potential, even perceived potential, because they know what they have in Shanle.

Yahoo Sports has highlight videos of him and Parham here.

He definitely lays the lumber on a few of the clips. My favorite is when he takes on the lead blocker on a sweep and knocks him backward into the ballcareer.

Shanle hsn't got a chance to stick if it's true the Cowboys have signed him. What a hitter

He signed with the Vikings. Darn, I would have liked to see what he could do in the Cowboys 3-4 defense this preseason.

Not to upset anyone, but if I have to read MLB one more time when referring to a 3-4 defense, I will have to be commited. In a 3-4, they are ILB's!


honestly who cares man?

you obviously understood what they meant, maybe you should be commited anyways :)
