preliminary list from ST from C. Hill

The Cowboys are allowed to bring in 30 top prospects for national visits and considering the names reportedly already here or on the invite list for the up close and personal meet and greet, targeting the defense is the obvious focal point.

Many of the prospects came in Sunday night.

The expected visitors include Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald, Missouri defensive end Kony Ealy, UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr, Boise State defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, Arizona State defensive end Davon Coleman, Southeast Louisiana State defensive tackle Jerrod Black, Northwest Missouri cornerback Brandon Dixon, Northern Illinois strong safety Jimmie Ward.

If Jerrod Black is already a rookie FA and can't be drafted, can he sign now or does he have to wait until the draft is complete? And why, if he is a FA?

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Of those, the only ones I hadn't really heard chatter about is Coleman, Black and Dixon.

It appears that he transferred from Iowa State to play at Southeastern University in 2013 if I understand correctly.

Mentioned that he played semi-pro ball in Green Bay. Does that disqualified from being drafted? And if playing pro previously does eliminate him, why can't he sign with someone right now. I'm confused on why he's being termed a Rookie FA already.

Thanks for posting this, I can't hardly wait until the draft.

 

[Risen Star]

Demarcus Lawrence.

He could end up being the best Demarcus to ever play for the Cowboys.

 

[Iron_Man]

I guess Scott Crichton, not interested perhaps?

They should.

 

[Wood]

They should.

STRENGTHS: As one might expect given his playing time, Murray does many of the little things well. He has a quick set-up and delivery. He throws a tight spiral and is creative in the pocket, showing the ability to slide and re-set, as well as deliver passes from a variety of arm slots. He throws deep passes with velocity and good trajectory and can attack down the seam with excellent touch, as well. He's starred in a pro-style offense for four seasons against elite competition and showed the mettle under fire as a senior to handle the leadership duties expected of a franchise field general.


WEAKNESSES: While there are plenty of positives to note when discussing Murray, one obvious concern is his lack of preferred size. The success of Drew Brees and Russell Wilson proves that shorter quarterbacks can be successful in the NFL. The greatest concern with short quarterbacks is their ability to see beyond the behemoths at the line of scrimmage and too many of Murray's passes over his career have been knocked down at the line of scrimmage. Durability is also an added concern with smaller quarterbacks. Brees and Wilson each also possess stouter frames than Murray. He's also coming off of the torn ACL, which obviously will require medical clearance at the Combine.



COMPARES TO: Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals - Just as Dalton did in guiding TCU to a Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin, Murray answered critics of his poise with several impressive wins as a senior. Only an inch shorter than the 6-2, 220-pound Dalton and possessing at least as much arm talent, Murray could emerge as a quality starter in the NFL but might need talent around him to take his team to the promised land.



--Rob Rang

PLAYER OVERVIEW
Despite former Indianapolis Colts' head coach Tony Dungy's assertion that Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray could have been the top-rated passer in the 2013 NFL draft, scouts weren't quite so sure. Unfortunately, a torn ACL suffered late in his senior season likely ended any chance that Murray will be the first passer selected in 2014.
Over his four seasons as a starter in Athens, Murray certainly has shown many of the traits scouts are looking for in a potential franchise quarterback -- including arm talent, toughness and intelligence. Fair or not, among the primary reservations talent evaluators had about Murray was the perception that he'd struggled in big moments against top competition. Prior to his knee injury November 25 against Kentucky, however, Murray had shown remarkable poise during his senior campaign, guiding the Bulldogs to impressive wins against South Carolina, LSU and in overtime on the road against Tennessee.

Murray's production against SEC competition speaks for itself. He completed 62.3% of his passes over his career for 13,166 yards and nearly three times as many touchdowns (121) as interceptions (41) in a pro-style offense. Further, he expressed confidence when interviewed at the Senior Bowl that he'd be ready to throw at Georgia's Pro Day.

If teams are confident that Murray will be able to healthy enough to play as a rookie, the young gunslinger could hear his name called within the first two rounds of the 2014 draft.

No Mike Evans yet... Interesting

 

[Gaede]

One name I didn't spend anytime on prior to this list is Breeland. Really like this guy; like his toughness. Also, found it interesting that Lindy's compared his style of play to Tillman.
