Report: Cowboys will monitor free agent pass rushers and safety class

[StarOfGlory]

You don't have to be a freak athlete, if you have instincts and game tape results, but below average athlete could be a concern for a lot of teams.

He might not get past Cincy at #10. They need defense as badly as we do.

Jalen Thompson? Lol ok Jerry

 

[HungryLion]

I hope this is true.

Let the excellent football player fall because his measurable weren’t elite.

Pretty sure every team in the league monitors every position.

not like we do, we do it 24/7 365!!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

that leaves cornerback as the only position not mentioned to have any interest in FA

The ghosts of B. Carr

Cowboys= When it's not mentioned that's when we sign them!

thanks i'm sure nobody on this site knows who that is!!!! Hopefully he's good

This guy seems like some random Giants/Yankees fan. Mostly reposts others tweets with random comments added. If he posted on this site, he would make Coogi look like a wallflower. Probably has 30ish posts today alone.

This is like retread special. Everyone has known this since Parker was hired.

After the combine, Downs looks way more realistic

yeah, enough dumb GMs believe measureables over tape

 

[big dog cowboy]

I 100% approve!

Under the radar signing.

Only reason we would be linked to Dean is because they hope to get him cheap because of injury history.

Nope, he knows the scheme and won’t be as cheap as you think

A lot of people know who he is. You don't think that Cowboy fans follow the Longhorns?

never! Man my first time I was in texas to see the Cowboys game, I went to Texas live in, man the amount of long horns fans in there it was crazy!

I would take Downs in a heartbeat at 12. He ran Ohio State's defense and has a preternatural ability to see plays before they happen. You can just pencil him in at safety for the next 10 years or so.

Styles is good and I would take him but he just wasn't the game changer that Downs was.

I would definitely take Styles over Downs. Styles is going to be a game-changer in the NFL.

I don’t think Downs is a good fit for this defense. If we’re going to select a safety with our first pick, I would go with Thieneman.

What makes you think Downs isn’t a fit? He seems tailor made for the nickel role Parker described. Thieneman would be good as well though. Honestly I could see the Cowboys taking both.

I think he will. However, he is more of a thumper near the line of scrimmage rather than a deep-cover safety, which is what we need in Parker’s defense.

Theineman seems like a better fit for that role, especially since we will be using a lot of two-deep safety shells in the nickel formation.

I don't want injured LB's that average 55 tackles a season.

 

[JBS]

What happened.......I mean, was never this freak athlete. Leadership and football IQ are his traits.

I’d go up to 7-9 to get him. Wherever I can get a deal done

I like to stay informed but I would understand if the team decided to be a little more secretive when it comes to their acquisition plans.

They don't\ have to be deceptive or attempt to throw off their rivals with false information, just a little statement like......."I hope the media and fans understand if the team decided to be a little more secretive when it comes to their acquisition plans."

Actually, that would inspire a little more confidence, in my opinion.
