Players Dallas Has Shown Interest In - 2017

[gmoney112]

Bucknell offensive lineman Julien Davenport had a full workout with the New England Patriots today which included film and board work and was impressive. Davenport will be working out with the Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans this week.

So, are these "workouts" considered official visits? I'm not really clear on that

An official visit is at the team facility, one of thirty. Otherwise they can go to the players home campus and work them out.

We could cut Butler if push comes to shove or trade Williams. Godwin would be too good to pass up at 60 imo

I'm with you. Be very happy with Godwin in RD two or even better three.

I won't be shocked when TJ watt comes in to visit. They can say he's a 3-4 guy all day but we drafted rail thin Gregory and Watt has 20 pounds on him. It's crazy how many directions we could go in.

TJ Watt ER/LB Wisconsin

TALENT
ROUND 1

STRENGTHS
T. J. is a Clay Mathews Clone. He has excellent athletic talent to go along with excellent passion to play every play at the highest level that he can. He shows leadership skills through his play on the field and makes the players around him better. T. J has the talent all teams running a 3/4 defense are looking for as an OLB/DE. He could also play inside linebacker in a 4/3 defense. He can be used in coverage but the truth is his strength is in attacking the line of scrimmage. He communicates very well with his teammates and is very smart. T. J. has the potential to become the key player your defense is built around.

CONCERNS
Is he the perfect athlete? No, but he makes up for any athletic limitations with effort, football intelligence, and passion.

BOTTOM LINE
There is an old saying “You can find an army but it’s hard to find generals”. TJ could be a general for your army. That along with his passion, effort, football intelligence and the “will” to play every play at his best, is enough for me to rate TJ as one of the “obvious” players to select in this draft early. If you want to select a more athletic player who doesn’t have the obvious character intangibles needed to be successful at the next level instead, go right ahead but for me it’s obvious the type of player TJ will be at the next level and I like to draft the obvious. TJ has good athleticism and can play multiple positions in multiple styles of defenses. He can play in coverage as long as you don’t expect him to cover like a cornerback. Like I said I see TJ as a Clay Mathews clone and if a team is smart and selects him and uses him the same way Clay Mathews has been used guess what…that team will have a playoff winning defense. To me that’s obvious.

BTW, TJ is Drew's #7 ranked player in the entire draft.

I can't sift through all the posts here. Did the Cowboys meet with Peppers or is he scheduled to visit Dallas?

They have not set up anything official with him yet.

Whatever happened to that British dude we signed a few years ago as developmental guy (not Jack Crawford)?

 

[gmoney112]

I actually like this guy, I just think he falls between our picks. He's also a bit (understatement) of a project.

He did double major in finance/accounting and landed an internship at PWC which is more impressive than the All-Academic teams made of Communications majors.

He's been compared to Dunlap but Dunlap was better coming out. I think he's a 3rd rounder that will be overdrafted.

 

[Risen Star]

Not a fan of Kpassagnon. Too high cut and raw. Day 3 prospect.

Out of the league.

He did participate in the "veteran" Combine in Arizona a few days ago.

 

[Alexander]

Agreed. I don't touch him sooner than the third.

He is moldable, but I am not taking a project like that in the first two rounds. That is just begging for a bust.

 

[Alexander]

Hopefully it is going very poorly. Don't want him in the first which is what is likely to get him.

 

[rkell87]

So which guys are team captains, started as a freshman, or have relentless motors?

Baker started as a freshman, was a Captain as a freshman and has a relentless motor. Just sayin...

Just shot an anonymous next to Jerry that he doesn't know how to spell his own name. That should drop him a few rounds for intelligence.
