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

[reddyuta]

No, it's not close to BPA, but we're doing a good job.

What makes you claim BPA? I don't see it.

well he is BPA according to many draft experts even Brugler so it is safe to assume he is our BPA

 

[rambo2]

Good we need even more depth

It looks like Parsons will play more linebacker.

 

[rambo2]

Yea, Braswell from Bama taken next. Not sure how you pass on him for virtually an unknown.

Kneeland ranked 32 on Dane Brugler's board. Braswell ranked 67.

What a dumb pick. This entire draft sucks.

I would rather they went with a RB.

Because the FO thinks that wasting a 2nd round pick on virtual unknowns makes them look smart to the fans.

This pick has DLaw written all over it........excellent run defender. It is a pick that is more about addressing our run defense

 

[Preoccupied]

Having sifted through the armchair experts opinions pro's and con's on this thread.

Im in the happy camp.
A project in the making, hope he makes it.
The pick gets a B
I want him to succeed.

In need of lots of on-field help this year and two projects with the first two picks

That second scout is basically saying that Kneeland dominated the conference (like Crosby did).

There is still room to grow with the pass rush technique.

 

[Verdict]

It looks like Parsons will play more linebacker.

That seems to be what this pick is saying, which is probably a positive. Also the fat lady is warming up to sing on Tanks last ride as a Cowboy without a team friendly deal.

It's good idea to play Parsons at linebacker. They would be better against the run and he can still get sacks.

 

[DandyDon52]

Love high motor guys that can set the edge.

yeah they made that a point, so maybe he is similar to parsons in his rookie year ??
High motor means they like to play,and give 100% all the time, which is a good thing.

I guess.

 

[quickccc]

so where will Dlaw or sam be on early downs ?

 

[KJJ]

Lol watch another 2nd round pick that we get little to no production out of

No bad injury history or off the field issues that have been mentioned so that’s a plus. The ESPN panel liked the pick. We’re due to have a second round pick pan out.

Kneeland will be a rotation guy as a rookie before taking over for D-Law in 2025. At least that's the plan being floated around.

I guess you missed all that off tackle and stretch that mauled us. Not surprised.

Run defense was poor all over. But thanks for the insult, nice to know who I'm responding to....

You said that we needed DT not DE. now you realize that both were needed.

I am happy.

The outside run defense to me was far more Quinn's fault than the players. Imho, of course....
