Players Dallas Has Shown Interest In - 2019

Actually, Joe Jackson is a guy I’m surprised we never brought in.

He’s an under the radar kid I like.

Good amount of pressures last year and shows some natural ability to bend, just not super explosive.

I'm pretty sure Rod worked him out along with Gerald Willis. He sometimes falls to 90 and I bet if he did they would strongly consider him.

It’s starting to look more and more like Ferguson will be the pick.
So depressing.

The sad part is there's a good chance he will be there at 58. I'll have my fingers crossed that someone will take him ahead of us.

I dont see Ferguson as the pick.

Think Byron Jones and Anthony Brown(Scrub)
FA at the end of this year.
Heath is better suited as a STer.
Wood and Iloka iffy.
You need a FS or a SS.
And you need a CB or two one in the top 4 rounds and 1 project for Kris Richard

Man, you guys are irrational haters.

Ferguson had a bad pro day. Does that mean he's not a good player? It's weird how people will criticize high-potential picks like Byron Jones or Vander Esch yet not accept anything other than elite athletic traits. Even at pick 58

Ideally, yeah, you want a prospect with measurables and production. But how can you turn your nose up at 45 sacks and 17 in year?

I know everyone has their sights set on Thornhill and won't entertain any other possibilities. But when has the draft ever turned out how you wanted?

Look at the Top 3 college sack leaders of all-time. Let me know which one had even a middling NFL career. Sacks aren’t a guaranteed predictor of future NFL success.

Michael Sam comes to mind. Dominated the SEC, hardly did anything in the NFL. Just not athletic enough.

We're close to the end of the process, and I'm starting to get really bad vibes that Jaylon Ferguson is going to be the pick. He doesn't seem like a Cowboys pick since a small-schooler with terrible measurables, but if you look at our board, he's about the only non-DB second round guy we have brought in.

Also, got looking over the Cowboys pre-draft visit list, and I came across a Tony Pollard who I've never seen before. Seems like an interesting player. He split time between WR and RB, and the scouting reports say that he's not really a natural at either, but he can both run and catch and is very, very good at returning kicks. Dude's got NFL-level measurables across the board. Seems like a fun guy to have behind Zeke.

Between him and Jalen Hurd (more talented but similar kind of player), I wonder if we have a specific plan in mind for these tweeners.

I’m really high on this kid. Hope we end up with him.

Plays like Tarzan, looks like Jane is better than the opposite.

He broke Terrell Suggs' sack record at Louisiana Tech. I think that guy turned out pretty well.

Here's a read up on Mack that also bring up Kingsley Keke who is another player we have looked at.

https://247sports.com/college/texas-am/Article/Texas-AM-DT-Daylon-Mack-2019-NFL-Combine-129469223/

The 2 things they talk about with Mack is how he doesn't get pushed off the ball and is usually the 2nd person to come off the snap only after the center.

Projected 3-4 round.

I agree. It's not a predictor.

But it matters. And the opinions around here aren't taking his production into account

Mack is one of the players I believe would make a huge difference on this team.

College production is precisely what that list is showing.

Sure. But there are some people totally discounting his production. As if all that makes a prospect are the measurables. Production matters even if the three players you've chosen didn't succeed.
