Robert Nkemdiche

[Johnny23]

The Cowboys once believed that linebacker was the easiest position to draft...and shouldn't be paid at higher positional levels.

And this is how we allowed Derrick Brooks to go to Tampa Bay. Besides Ray Lewis the best LB in the NFL the last 25 years since the 95 draft. Utterly ridiculous how we let him go for Sherman Williams. Watching those 1990s Caught in the Draft shows is infuriating.

Personally, I think Brooks was better then Lewis, JMO.

Last thing we need is another one of Marinelli’s projects

Lol.
The first thing we need is one of Rod's projects

 

[gimmesix]

another talented Miss St DL that just hasn't done anything in the League.
good in college tho.

Had 4.5 sacks in 10 games last year (six starts).

Curious about the "headcase" comments. From what I can find, Nkemdiche hasn't been in any known trouble since the 2015 marijuana incident. The main issue seems to questions about reliability, but how much of those are injury-related? If there's a concern for me, it's the injuries. I think those severely lower his value where he is not worth more than a sixth-rounder.

Totally respect that I am a massive Brooks fan.

Q, what do you give up for him? He might have turned the corner after being a knucklehead.

As you probably know, I'm a huge fan of pick swaps. Our 5th for their 7th and Nkem? Or our 4th for their 6th and Nkem?

I would be down for swapping out the 5th for a former 1st round DT. I was a fan of Robert coming out in 2016. The Spice incident is old news I honestly would bring him in.

I love Justin Ellis

 

[Hennessy_King]

I would like this but marinelli sucks and would not expect the kid to improve

 

[Proof]

he's the weed gas mask video guy right?

yeah just what we need (and i'm a staunch Gregory supporter)

Since mental health is becoming a big issue, do teams do psychological evaluations on players? If not they should.

his issue in the NfL seems to be the same one he had in college...can't stay healthy.
Im not aware of any off-field issue....and I was wrong...he went to Ole' Miss not Miss State.

no.
that guy was an OT from Ole Miss.

 

[ghst187]

Well we have an open spot for a talented but head case DL after cuttingDavid Irving

no...that was Tunsil who Miami took.

 

[Silver Surfer]

You mean the guy who threw himself off of a building? That guy?

Apparently, he's gotten his act together since then......

I’ll pass.

He’s a headcase. The misconception is Marenilli can turn these guys around. Yes, Marenilli can get the best potential out of players, but the players have to want it. David Irving was a headcase from KC, he’s now smoking weed in twitter videos.. Gregory, well.. enough said.

My point, The team should steer clear of unreliable players. A Player could have all the potential in the world (see Irving), but it doesn’t mean a damn thing if they aren’t willing to put the work in to become elite.

The production we got from Irving was well worth what we invested in him (zero). Knowing what we know now, I'd make the Irving move 10/10 times again...

Obviously we're not talking about investing zero in a potential trade for Nkemdiche, but if it's close to it (i.e. 6th round pick or less), I don't hesitate to make that trade and take a chance on the talent

 

[Whyjerry]

We just got rid of one odd ball, football hating DT and we want to replace him with another odd ball, football hating DT?

Pass

The draft is pretty deep on quality DTs. Just draft a guy or 2 and see what they can do.

Well, there seems to be questions about his desire to play, but I just don't know how much that is a product of his injuries.
