I don't care what one comes up with to blame Jerry with. I just don't believe those sea gulls took those last two Coronas.

Denzel Daxon has unique shot at roster​

https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/role-call-denzel-daxon-has-unique-shot-at-roster

How He Got Here: Daxon hails from the Bahamas, originally, eventually going on to participate in 36 games for Ohio University and Illinois — his combined career between the two schools producing 38 total tackles, three tackles for loss and a sack. After transferring to Illinois in 2023, the entirety of his season (12 games) was spent at nose tackle and, as evidence of his high IQ and work ethic, he earned academic All-MAC honors in 2021.

What's Next: Things are a bit interesting or Daxon, because it appears that even though he played several seasons of college ball in the continental U.S., there's a chance he qualifies for the league's IPP (International Pathway Program) exemption and, if so, the Cowboys would be able to carry him on the practice squad without it costing them one of their 16 seats (ex: Isaac Alarcon).

He'll enter training camp looking to make an impact at a position of need, nose tackle, behind former first-round pick Mazi Smith and in competition with veteran Carl Davis and rookie seventh-round pick Justin Rogers.

Alfred Collins, DL, Texas​

One of the better run defenders in the draft is Texas’ Alfred Collins. Listed at 6-foot-6, 332-pounds, Collins is an absolute giant on the defensive line with a lot of power at the point of attack. To match his impressive frame, Collins has extremely long arms that allows him to keep his chest free of blocks to hold his ground against the run.

Collins brings very little to the table as a pass rusher, but he gives defensive coaches something to dream on with his frame and natural power package. Given his physical traits, Collins is another candidate that would be considered with the 44th overall pick.

My question is the status of Carl Lawson moving forward?

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to host Texas iDL Alfred Collins for a 30 visit, a source said. One of the premier run stuffers in the class.

I would target these two QB's during the draft, for Dallas:

8. QB Quinn Ewers, Texas​

PFF Big board rank: 142

Ewers' arm talent will get him drafted, but his inconsistencies are too prevalent right now. To succeed in the NFL, he must clean up his footwork, pocket management, post-snap diagnosis and play under pressure.

---

9. QB Kyle McCord, Syracuse​

PFF Big board rank: 161

McCord isn't for the faint of heart. He led the Power Four in both big-time throws and turnover-worthy plays in 2024. He lacks a top-level arm, leaving doubt about his gunslinger mentality in the NFL, but his ability to churn out big plays every week makes him hard to quit on. Plenty of NFL teams should want to take a chance on him early on Day 3.

STUDS

Matthew Golden, WR
Golden has arguably been the fastest rising prospect throughout the entire NFL draft process, and a strong combine performance likely cemented him into the first round after running a 4.29 40-yard dash, the second best among all participants. At Texas' Pro Day, Golden once again looked the part, with crisp cuts in his routes and flashes of that 40-time catching passes from Quinn Ewers. The lone blemish on his day was a deep ball that went through his hands, but otherwise Golden hauled in his other eight targets. When the ball hits his hands, it doesn't move, and Golden drew "Ooo's" and "Ahh's" from the crowd after each of his reps. If the Cowboys believe that Golden is the man to compliment CeeDee Lamb, they'll need to select him in the first round, because his stock is sky-high.

Alfred Collins, DT
Defensive tackle Alfred Collins was seen in a walking boot on his left leg and did not participate in any drills during Texas' Pro Day. A university spokesperson did not reveal what the injury was, and Collins did not speak to reporters, so we'll see what comes out of that situation. When healthy, Collins has shown the potential to be a potent run stuffer in the middle of the defensive line with a good amount of twitch and athleticism for his size at 6'6, 332 pounds. The uncertainty of the injury puts Collins' stock status in the air, but he's likely a plausible option for the Cowboys on Day 2 to fill their need at defensive tackle.

Jahdae Barron, DB
The Longhorns may have been looking to save the best for last, as Barron and some of the other defensive backs were the last of Texas' players to work out in front of scouts. Barron was sharp in his turns during the three-cone drill, and flew around the field in coverage drills just like he did on tape when he won the Thorpe Award in 2024. Versatility is the name of Barron's game, and he told reporters that he belives the fact that he can play corner, nickel, dime and even safety in the defensive backfield makes him the best cornerback prospect in this class. If Dallas shares that same belief and Barron falls to the 12th overall pick, then that's likely where they'll need to select him.

Quinn Ewers, QB
In a quarterback class that has a lot of question marks as a whole, Ewers is one of the most challenging prospects to figure out. On one hand, he's shown flashes of being elite in the short to intermediate game with great accuracy, touch and velocity on his passes. On the other hand, his deep ball is still inconsistent and he at times makes questionable decisions in crucial situations. He completed 50 of his 59 pass attempts with five incompletions and four drops, with his final three deep balls all being ducks. Where Ewers falls in the draft will depend on how teams view his upside, and if the Cowboys are looking to tab Ewers are their young quarterback to bring along behind Dak Prescott, he'll likely need to be selected on Day 2.

Andrew Mukuba, S
After transferring back to his hometown of Austin from Clemson for his final college football season, Mukuba exploded onto the season in the Longhorns secondary, tying Barron for the lead in interceptions last season with five. He told reporters that he'll be taking a 30 visit with the Cowboys in the near future, giving the team an opportunity to learn more about the intriguing safety prospect. Mukuba is considered a top 100 player by many, and will likely need to be a Day 2 selection if the Cowboys want to add him to their secondary ranks.

Jaydon Blue, RB
If the Cowboys are looking to add a quick, versatile running back on Day 3 of the draft, Blue might be their guy. Blue told reporters that he ran a 4.28 40-yard dash on his first attempt at Pro Day, and a 4.25 on his second, much better than the 4.38 official time he posted at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. He cited a groin tear as the reason his combine time wasn't as fast, and looked much quicker this time around in Austin. The biggest hurdle that Blue will have to clear is a mixture of his size (5'9, 196 pounds) and issues protecting the football, as fumbles were a prominent issue during his time at Texas.

@MathBomb

Kenneth Murray was drafted with pick 23 of round 1 in the 2020 draft class. He scored a 9.89 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 24 out of 2073 LB from 1987 to 2020. https://ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=18759&pos=LB… #RAS

DeMarvion Overshown #RAS so far.*Splits Projected





What new defensive coordinator Eberflus did here, we bet, is help Dallas identify a stop-gap linebacker talent who can hold down the fort until Overshown's return ... and we shouldn't be surprised to see Murray deployed in a similar manner.

Another new linebacker, Eberflus favorite Jack Sanborn, who comes here from Chicago via free agency, likely assumes the Eric Kendricks "green dot role,'' while Murray gets to be the "downhill DeMarvion" who purely hunts the football.

Murray’s career with the Chargers (before his $15 million signing with Tennessee) was defined by scheme misfit and role confusion. He was used as a traditional linebacker, occasionally dropped into coverage, sometimes rushed the passer—but never consistently, and never with a clear developmental plan.

Eberflus is a known "linebacker whisperer.'' His system thrives on instinctive, sideline-to-sideline athletes who can play fast, downhill, and with freedom.

With Micah Parsons commanding front-seven double-teams, Murray could be deployed as a blitzer, a run-and-chase rover, or even in sub-packages designed specifically to weaponize his athletic traits.

Once we accept Dallas spending here (which is supposedly a good thing, right?) ... There’s really no downside with Murray's acquisition ... which is the best part about it.

He comes in with low expectations and high upside. If he fizzles, he’s depth. But if Eberflus taps into the same spark he’s unlocked in guys like Shaquille Leonard, Jaylon Smit and Sean Lee. (if you haven't yet read or heard about what Sean Lee had to say about Matt Eberflus, you should)?
