Drafted by Cowboys Round 2 Pick 56 Dallas Cowboys draft DE Marshawn Kneeland Western Michigan

[Diehardblues]

Had a whopping 4.5 sacks at Western Michigan last year. Hmmmm….this looks like a “project”. SMH.

Yea, totally an unknown from small school. Hopefully 3rd round we get a RB.

You'd think we got a ton of free agent help and have a stacked team with all these reaches they keep making, but nah, this draft was critical and needed can't misses. Cowboys are just dumb.

He is good against the run.

Defensive end didn't rank as a high need for the Cowboys on paper, but they are entering a season in which we'll see star rusher Micah Parsons need a new contract. Kneeland isn't Parsons, but perhaps the Cowboys are thinking long-term about the position, especially as DeMarcus Lawrence turns 33 years old. Kneeland ranked No. 48 on my board, making this a fair value, but it was far from one of the team's top needs.

Didn't they take an edge last year they didn't play?

Had a whopping 4.5 sacks at Western Michigan last year. Hmmmm….this looks like a “project”. SMH. Having A developmental project on team with these needs…don’t get it.

When we have a top 7 draft spot in 2025 you'll be praising this pick.

 

[fishspill]

Probably your average Cowboy wasted 2nd rounder.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

He is good against the run.

So he’s the DE version of Schoonmaker

 

[bayeslife]

I’ll never complain about drafting linemen.

 

[stilltheguru]

For what it’s worth. Dane Brugler had him ranked as his 32 overall player.

He must be the man then!

 

[Diehardblues]

One pick later is edge rusher from Bama.

 

[Mikexike]

Good pick, helps the run defense.

Lol he had 12.5 scaks for his career there

Chris Braswell, Benson and Junior Colson was there for the taking... smh

Yeah fehoko. In the 4th round. He may not even be able to play.

 

[Jayinem]

Was this Jerry's drunk 2nd round ego pick?

I couldn’t agree more! This team needs STARTERS! Not backup projects.

This is what happens when the FO believes they are the smartest in the room. It’s arrogance at its finest
