Per DMN's Machota (https://sportsday.***BANNED-URL***/...ster-projection-cowboys-players-rookies-force)...
My reaction, fwiw...
- Can't see them keeping just 8 O-linemen given Green and Collins' injury history, unless they're willing to make Cooper their back-up C... but I also think that's entirely plausible that they would... maybe it's just me, but among the UDFAs, we seemed to attract a higher caliber of talent along the line, suggesting that whatever our guys said on the phone, it was convincing that there was going to be some competition there.
- I think Cowboys signal who they're most anxious to audition among the UDFAs by who they pay the greatest bonus to... and for that reason, I include Jarwin either slotted-in as a TE or as an FB
- I think if Hanna and Swaim both make the initial roster, both will have to make it through camp completely healthy, and again, recent history demands some skepticism there... Hanna especially... and I think Noah Brown's future on the 53-man also rides partially on this point, under the thinking that he can become what ultimately Vince Mayle just wasn't quite able to become
- LB is also a space on the depth chart that's composed of too many fairly recently injured players... I continue to think they're hoping to catch lightning in a bottle with one of their three UDFAs there, but very much monitoring the waiver wire after the final cut for the best possible reinforcement that becomes available... and consequently, I'm of the opinion that either White or Frazier ends up on the practice squad depending on their TC performances... and then again, there's also the possibility that they consider Keith Smith as their 7th LB
- And I still believe that if Showers gets an opportunity to compete at QB again, he will seriously challenge Moore, having talent and body frame that is better suited for success... Moore has the intelligence by all accounts, but he just doesn't have the arm strength that most other shorter-but-successful QBs have had.
