Ranking the Top Edge Rushers for the Cowboys

[Cowboyny]

This year's group doesn't have that Chase Young or Miles Garrett, but has some good depth at the position. Cowboys just have Tank/Gregory under contract with the jag Armstrong and the unproven Anea behind them, depth is a major concern. You would think a veteran is signed, but adding another quality edge rusher is an important need. Here are my top 10 Edges for the Cowboys:

1-Ojulari Georgia (we need to start putting him in the conversation at pick #10)
2-Phillips Miami (medical/durability concerns could make him fall, but extremely talented rusher)
3-Paye Michigan (tremendous run defender, but needs work at a pass rusher, best 4T in the Class for our D)
4-Ossai Texas (non-stop motor, a little raw as a pass rusher, has some versatility to his game)
5-Oweh Penn State(the ball of clay prospect, with elite traits, may need time to develop)
6-Basham Wake Forest (my pet cat, very technical LE who can kick inside in the nickel, pocket pusher)
7-Rosseau Miami (tremendous 1 yr production, but new to the position, David Irving type boom/bust)
8-Tyron Washington (more of a fit for a hybrid defense, most likely will become a 3-4 OLB)
9-Rouche Miami (some compare him to Daryl Tapp, who played with Seattle and Quinn)
10-Jones II Pittsburgh (many see him higher, but disappointed at the Senior Bowl)

Ojulari is an easy pick for Edge1 for me as well.

If you haven’t already, go check out Weaver from Pitt.

Love Ojulari. Put him at SAM and let him rush A LOT.

Roche fan here. Not sure where he’d fit in the defense, but he’s fun to watch. I think he’d take time to develop and Dallas fans aren’t big on time.

 

[Gaede]

Really feeling Ojulari in 1 now

Really feeling Ojulari in 1 now

he’s growing on me. Big on drafting Georgia and Alabama kids

 

[AsthmaField]

I’m not really crazy about many of the edge rushers in this draft... except for Ojulari, who I do like a whole lot. I think he’s a very good player.

Hes likely going Round 3ish. Would be a perfect pick to play behind DLaw

I like him too, just have a hard time projecting him.

Those tackles basically let him through they were so bad.

I think the Seattle model would have us taking Ojulari and McNeil, Tufele or a Safety.

1 - Ojulari
2 - Melifonwu
3 - McNeil / Wilson

FA FS

I could get down with something like this.

That would be a home run. I dont see McNeil lasting that long though, especially after he goes through work outs. He is a planet player. Wilson had a good week at Mobile and is more attractive to me now than before. I do think there is a good chance he is there at our 3rd rounder.

I have a feeling we are gonna bring in one of the Atlanta duo as S. Neal is probably the better player, but I think his value rebounded after 2020 and I dont think he will be as cheap as people think. Also I think can swim at FS, but he is not an FS. His skill set suits him far better at SS. Kazee just seems like the "buy low" type FA Dallas tries to come out ahead on

Unfortunately I think you may be right...if we miss out on both I like Shelvin in the 4th.

Huge fan of Shelton.

My only concern is he’s a big boy. He didn’t play last season and will his weight become an issue?

Huge need can be filled in the 4th in all for it

10 career picks are pretty much ring of honor numbers for Cowboy safeties since the early 2000s lol

Neal is a stud when healthy, but he essentially brings the same skill set Wilson has. WIlson showed enough promise for me to give him the SS role.

I think someone like Marcus Maye would be a good target.

Maye will be out of our range.

Id look more into guys like Tartt, Kazee, Hooker. They will be looking at smaller pay days and trying to get leverage to get paid. Tartt likely cost more than the other two based off of injuries

You forgot Gregory...
