The Cowboys may have found their bookend DE's

[xwalker]

Irving is a 5/3 more than a 3/5. JMO. But the key is versatile. We have two who can line up 7/9. We should probably concentrate on cover LB, S and CB on D. Swing tackle and WR on O outside receiving TE agains 6-5+ and fast. There are more of those latter around than previously. Add Hanna, Witten, and Rico and you have 4 good TEs. Add a scat back and I mean someone fast who can receive as well as carry while breaking arm tackles. Harder to find these days but you can find in R2-5 esp 3-4.

Musts......WR1, Swing Tackle, Cover LB
Needs......FS, WR2/3, WR field stretcher
Wants......Hybrid TE, RB3, CB, edge rusher wherever you find him

Irving could play DE in base and DT in obvious passing situations. Collins would play 3 and a new player would be the 1.

Who is still right now at home on the coach no football all year... Still the best pass rusher on this team! and I didnt stutter

This is a terrific analysis of Gregory:

Possible. I love Irving's versatility. I'd call him a 5/3 more than 3/5 but he's capable of either.

5/3 ?

 

[jobberone]

5/3 ?

5 = DE
3 = DT

He's a versatile DE who plays the 3 well, too. I think he's a better 5 than 3.

It is the / I don't understand.

A 5 would be the LDE in this defense although the LDE sometimes plays as a 7.

The RDE is a 7 on most snaps.

Irving played primarily as a 3 this season.

I wouldn't use 7 or 9 in the general sense describing the general position of a player. For me an edge rusher is a 5/7 though. You're talking specific players and team but I'm using the numbers generically.

Poe and Logan just signed 1-year contracts...

Poe is a guy we could really use.

Marinelli calls his DL positions:
LDE
1tech
3tech
RDE

Big guys

Size Matters

I know its early for a draft thread, but interested to see how the comps shook out.

Would love Vea, but if we miss or pass with the 1, its not the end of the world to still end up with either Wilkens or Payne.

The comp picks will give us some flexibility, perfect draft to go BPA everywhere, need help at literally every position.

My draft importance..

1 Tech
LB
OT
WR
3rd down RB as stated earlier, hands and speed threat, they get drafted every year mid round steals,, perfect to pair with Zeke.
S - strong or weak, doesn't matter but who ever they draft, needs to be a hitter.
TE or Guard
QB
