Agree.......
He's gonna slide out of the 1st.....just watch.
TacoBell should really consider delivering...
I don't want either guy on this team. I can look the other way if the player is so special that it warrants taking a chance...like Dez Bryant was or Randy Moss. Some players are once in a generation type of prospects that slide due to off field issues. If either of these guys were as talented as Bryant or Moss then the risk is worth it. i don't see either as being so special.
After reading more on Gregory, his profile reads like a player Dallas would take a chance on. Great kid, articulate, supremely talented, loved in the locker room, but he has some issues with anxiety and marijuana. This is the type of kid that the Joneses have Calvin Hill there for. Not saying I agree with it, but that is what I envision when I read up on Gregory.
Can a DE succeed in the 4-3 being so light?
I have not really studied him so I don't know. Is he that much of a sure thing talent? We have been awesome the last few years hitting on our early draft picks.
That's my concern. He's 240 lbs and I wonder if Gregory can handle being a full time DE. I do not want to waste our first round pick on a situation player who only sees the field on passing situations because he can't hold up against the run in the NFL. As much talent as Gregory may have, I'd rather take a CB, for example, who will be on the field the entire time.
Honestly, I'm not sure why he was slated top 10 to begin with. He has good quickness and size, but is just a terrible pass rusher (he doesn't seem to be a natural at it -- wasted movements, stalled easily in 1-on-1 blocks and has no moves other than the outside speed rush) and is even worse against the run.
My opinion is awesome (to me and me only), but I think this is a pretty good read that sums up NFL level opinions of Gregory better than I ever could. He can get to the QB, but he is a big risk. I think the kid is the definition of boom or bust personally. If they are looking for that new SAM pass-rusher position then this guy would probably be a monster there.

He is not 240 he did a workout this month for a team weighing less than 230lbs.
Not me. I just can't excuse knowing you have a drug test coming for the biggest job audition of your life and failing it.
Either the guy is that addicted and just can't stop or he's that stupid and will remain so in the NFL.

If he has anxiety playing in college, how on earth is he going to deal with the fishbowl that is playing for the Cowboys?
The guy is stupid in that he couldn't stay off the stuff long enough to pass a test for the most important job interview of his life. It's either that, or he's an addict. Do you really want a guy like that on your team?
