Payton Wilson: Cowboys MLB draft target

[Risen Star]

oh, I can’t speak to that. doesn’t seem wholly relevant though. What’s your opinion?

Yeah what's relevant about opinions before the draft about his alleged great college career?

All that matters is what we think after he's been drafted. We just didn't want to talk about it before the draft. Nothing to see here.

snark aside, my point was if his college career excites folks now, what does a lack of pre-draft opining have to do with anything? opinions are either warranted or they’re not. again, what’s YOUR opinion?

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Especially when nobody said a positive word about him when the Cowboys were reported to be interviewing him. Zero support.

But they drafted him. Future stud. The blown out knee a mere speed bump.

I'd approach the offseason like you're going to get nothing from Overshown. There's no reason to count on him whatsoever. He's a healthy question mark coming off of a major injury who hasn't taken a meaningful snap yet.

I completely agree

 

[Cebrin]

I like E Cooper and J. Colson.

 

[Carson]

I like E Cooper and J. Colson.

Colson is my dude. I feel like he could end up being the best of the bunch.

Also like Tommy Eichenberg later in the draft.

I liked what Overshown showed in preseason, but he is that safety/LB hybrid that we already have a billion of. Juanyeh, Bell, Wilson, Kearse...

Payton Wilson effectively plays a different position than him.

6 ft 2+5⁄8 in (1.90 m)

229 lb (104 kg)

32+1⁄4 in (0.82 m)

9+1⁄2 in (0.24 m)

4.56 s

1.59 s

2.62 s

4.47 s

7.17 s

36.5 in (0.93 m)

10 ft 6 in (3.20 m)

15 reps

Wilson has Fred Warner like size and athleticism.

I'm a big fan.

Just feel like Wilson will be Sean Lee. All pro when healthy … but never healthy

Possible.

Lee was great when he was healthy though.

He missed some games, but played in a lot (118 games in 11 seasons).

I get what you are saying. We have been bitten before.

Wilson is a second round talent but with the concerns (and our history), I probably don't daft him until the third round.

 

[1942willys]

We need more beef at the LB position; frankly I would like to get at least one guy pushing 250.

Wilson or Colson would be great gets for us.

 

[Carson]

Older prospect, reports he’s had 10+ surgeries, shorter arms.

Hoping he is there round 3

over TEN SURGERIES?

holy crap

yeah there is no doubt Jerry grabs him in the second

 

[Sandyf]

He is a late 3rd or later type pick. Great size and plays smart and with abandon but again a guy with questionable medicals with multiple knee and shoulder injuries. Like him but for me it would have to be in the 5th round area due to the injury concerns.

He’s a perfect risk pick for a team like Washington / Chicago / SF with a crap ton of picks. If he doesn’t pan out he doesnt cost you anything

For a team without any real needs...

I'd bet that they don't.

 

[1942willys]

yeah your boy is not that dumb

 

[Beaker42]

Im all over him at 56. Injury concerns and durability are massive concerns.

Another guy i am growing to like is Junior Colson out of Michigan

This kid is Sean Lee upgraded. I’m all over him at 56 or a slight trade up.
