Rotoworld Mock Draft has the Cowboys selecting...

[garyv]

9. Cowboys - Alabama DE Marcell Dareus


A 6-foot-3, 306-pound bowling ball, Dareus left Alabama with 20 career tackles for loss and 11 sacks as essentially a one-year starter. While not a truly difference-making pass rusher, Dareus possesses rare quickness for a 3-4 end and can crash the pocket as a three-technique tackle on passing downs. Three of Dallas' top four defensive ends are free agents (Marcus Spears, Stephen Bowen, Jason Hatcher), so this is good value and fills a major need.

I'm not in love with any 3-4 DE at 9, but this pick makes a lot of sense.

The first thing Garrett mentioned is that he wants to be physical.

This is your guy.

On top of what he can do at DE, give him 1-2 years with Woicik and he could be a 320-330 NT.

I would compare him to Spears, bigger than Spears was in college and probably a little more disruptive and definitely nastier, whereas Spears was more of a high motor guy.

In Dallas, we move our NTs to DE, not the other way around. Thank you very much.

dareus is a good player but he isn't worth the 9th pick for us considering our other holes and current talent.

bowen is basically as good right now.

trade down is highly likely.

I know Warren Sapp think Marcell Dareus is better than Fairley

Bowen is as good Dareus?

We should just trade Bowen for #5 and take Peterson and Dareus.

Cowboys need to try to get this guy

For one, he's a pass-rusher
two, he's a force to be recon with
three, he's stout on the run
four, he's a game-changer
five, he dominates

or this guy

Muhammad Wilkerson, DT, Temple 6-5 #305

I will be physically sick if we pick either Dareous - C Jordan - Prince A at 9

I think Dareus is better too. So does Mike Mayock.

Fairley's awesome but Dareus has been doing it like this more than 1 season.

Finally some Dareus love.

Plus he played for Nick Saban who Jason Garrett holds in very high regard.

Just makes too much sense.
