great size and speed. If you got him late and allowed him to develope he could be interesting. Very raw and needs to learn a lot including tackling but you can teach a lot of things, size and speed are not teachable
Great find there

Do not adjust your set, the cowboys might be on the cusp of actually developing some talent for a change. Rico Gathers, Mark Nzeocha, and Jeff Heath could all be major contributors this season, this thread might have some real relevance concerning sleepers.

For a change? I'd say identifying and developing / utilizing late round/UDFA talent has been an area we've done pretty well with over the years.

Marshall Uni WR Michael Clark - 6'5" and 215 lbs.

Redshirt soph declaration. Caught 37 for 632 and 5 TDs.

Cowboys were at the Marshall pro day. Ran a 4.5 with a 4.3 shuttle at his pro day, but looks slow to get going. Short stride. Nice natural hands. High points the ball really well.

Uh, ok...?
Danny Coale was a bigger version of Cole Beasley who was wasted in our system. IMO. He was a coaches son who got injured and got lost in the WR numbers after several injuries(ACL/toe), he had Jimmy Smith potential impact in my mind. He was waived to make room for Jamar Newsome. I watched him at Virginia Tech as a four year starter with a very shaky QB in Logan Thomas his last year. I am just venting as I had high hopes for this guy and I felt like we stole him in the draft and got nothing out of him.

My "random", meaning players that really have not entered my radar that much, mainly because I have not seen a link to Dallas.

Ethan Pocic - He might be a good pick for a team wanting a player who could back up at 3 positions. That is a plus with OL.
Alex Anzalone - If somebody wants a Kiko Alonso clone, here you go.
Isaac Asiata - Big strong powerful guard you can make a 10 year starter out of. Well schooled like all the Utah linemen.
Vince Biegel - Will make some team happy. Fits that "football player" mold.
Harvey Langi - The type of DL/LB/Utility that Belichick gets all the time.
Ryan Switzer - Want a slot WR? Grab him.
Samson Ebukam - Will go no later than the 4th. Has the workout warrior profile that teams fall in love with. Plus he hustles.
Steve Tu'ikolovatu - Plug and play big dude for NT. If I run a 3-4 and need an anchor, he is a bargain on Day 3.
Joe Williams - If his head is right, he is the kind of late round back who makes a GM look smart.
Mack Hollins - Not a great WR. Just a core type of player that makes Pro Bowls on STs as a coverage player.
Jamal Carter - Good simple safety that you see hang around the league for a while. Will never be that dynamic player you want but can hit and tackle.
Josh Carraway - Good enough rusher, don't understand why so little attention.
Connor Harris - Might end up at FB. Special teams all the way.
Blake Jarwin - Kind of player that makes a career being the 2nd or 3rd TE on someone's roster for a long time.

He had a chance with Indy and Pittsburgh and now he's on the street. Less about Dallas' development skills and more about the player not having what it takes.

I think it took Garrett a while to figure out he actually needed a slot WR. Coale was injured, but I remember Garrett nitpicking Amendola years ago and he's been an okay pro. Beasley is what good luck looks like, not design. If it were up to Garrett, we would still be doing the two TE thing still.

Some good players on that list. The "link" to Dallas, I always find curious. I think last year, we had no pre-draft links to Smith, Collins, Tapper, Brown or Frazier. Afterwards, I think we heard we went to see them, but don't remember hearing about it before the draft.
