We'll se how far Farley drops, but he could have the most upside if his back does not become an issue in the future. I am starting to feel like the Cowboys should trade down about 5 spots and take Farley if he is there. I know it is a risk, but he was the best CB before he had minor back surgery, and NFL doctors have cleared him. There are no guarantees for any player but Farley is an elite athlete. If you are willing to take Phillips, with his history of injuries and concussions, or Parsons with this off field issues, then why not Farley who also carries a risk?

I'd trade back with New England getting 15 and 46. I'd take Phillips at 15 and Bolton at 44 and either a safety or corner at 46. Another trade option would be to get 27 and 31 from Baltimore.

This article was pretty interesting and it does seem like his procedure was a minor one. The article states that 84% of people who have this surgery have "good or great" results, and that only 1% to 20% needing anything more done after the initial procedure. It also states that most people that need further operations do so within three months, which is the scary part since he's a little over a month removed from the surgery. All of those statistics are for the general public and not guys smashing into the largest humans on earth, so grain of salt I guess.

What about JOK? I get that he is already pretty much a concensus top 20 pick but he still has upside IMO.
He is rated as the #1 S & #1 LB by several folks. I don't think I have seen him lower than 2nd on either list.
So, when you draft him you are really getting 2 players rolled into 1. Count him as 1.5. That's a lot of upside for what how it allows you to match up and manage your roster.

Had t thought of 27 and 31!
Thats a huge trade down, but you can move around from there
:clap:

the 15and 46 trade is not realistic...imo

Not sure on the Dayo kid.

You never know how someone will recover from an Achilles. But certainly upside if he recovers. I think he's a gamble before round four.
 
Tamorrion Terry( Reminds me of Randy Moss)
Kenny Yeboah( Kyle Pitts clone)
Eric Stokes( You just can't teach speed 4.25)
Elijah Mitchell( No one is talking of him,they need too)
 
Yup. If he’s there at 10 and we don’t take him I’d be surprised. Especially with Stephen saying they are holding off on LvE until after the draft

And they havent said a peep about Parsons one time that I can remember. Its like they are purposely NOT commenting on him.

Bobby Brown - IF a coach convinces him to keep that motor running, you’re looking at the Holy Grail @ NT/1T (equally great stopping the run/rushing the passer). Kid (barely 20) has shown he can do it all.
 
Jason Oweh. He’s just as likely to bust... but if he hits, it’s going to be epic.

His upside is sky high. The physical tools are astonishing.
