Out of all the negitive things heard and said.....The one thing never mentioned was the lie about his height.

http://www.gofrogs.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/tcu-m-footbl-mtt.html

#47......6'2 ...230lbs

I'm beyond ticked off right now.......now that the combine is over and he is barely over 6'0 and looked completely out of shape.

Wish I could have a do over w/ the Mock draft we did.

So much for scouting myself.....he's got a great looking highlight tape.....but after this weekend...I wouldn't even touch him.

So disappointed. I haven't been this disappointed in a player...maybe ever. :mad:

Thought I was drafting a "safe" player......Boy was I wrong.:(

Hopefully the Cowboys will see this and pass on this player......

Hmm the TCU trio Dawson, Hackett, and White all ran disappointing times. I like the other TCU LB Marcus Mallett. Worth a look

Dawson looked like he added poor weight, especially in his legs. Question is, did he do it on purpose or did he just let himself get sloppy.

His terrible 40 times were largely due to poor technique from what I see. He basically waddled all the way down the track, ran 35 yards each time and his starts were poor. But even if he corrects that, I think he's maybe in the high 4.65s to 4.7.

Biggest surprise of the combine. Can't play WLB at that speed.

Yes, depending on how bad his character/work-ethic turns out to be, I could see taking him late.

I'm really not that concerned about his times. I think he didn't know how to run a forty.

His reaction afterwards and the fact thet he didn't seem prepared is the bigger concern.

He could easily turn into a Burfict story.
