No bigger draft fan here than me.

The analytical side of me says you lose and get the impact player in the draft, but once the game starts, my heart takes over and I want to see:

• Cowboys players I really root for like Cooper, Zeke, Gallup, Lamb, Schultz, and Diggs do well
• Cowboys win
• Eagles lose

If we lose out on the division next week sobeit. We're out of the Caleb Farley conversation anyway. I'm rooting like heck for a win and the division even though it probably means getting our heads kicked in by Tampa Bay the following week. Pick 19 here we come.

You got all your bullet points today. Gallup looked explosive ** today.

I always love a WIN...I might complain about the team, but just like above...I just love it when they WIN....it makes the day that much better and also the week!

My dream scenario right now.

How much separation is there between Horn and Surtain?

Surtain is a master technician. Horn can be reckless. Has a ton of swagger and athleticism to his game, never afraid to gamble

Not a bad consolidation prize. If he has the drive to get better, technique/footwork can always be developed.

What's depressing about this is while I know we need help at CB and S, I can't take another season of inept DT play. And this looks like a blah draft for DTs.

Zaven Collins is a 6-4, 260-pound weak-side linebacker and edge rusher. Athletic enough to cover some larger receivers and tight ends and good enough to go after the quarterback and either make it difficult or put him on his back. He has 182 career tackles as a junior with 17.5 tackles-for-loss, and 3.5 sacks. He has defended six passes, recovered two fumbles, forced one, intercepted a pass, and blocked two kicks.

His forty time that day was in the 4.8 range.

Also seems to have better deep speed on tape than what Surtain shows at a similar size (6’1 205). One thing I really like about Horn is his CB1 swagger, he’s got some nasty to him and has the quick feet and fluid hips needed to be confident when mirroring top-flight WR’s. His cons are pedestrian ball skills (all of his 2 career picks have come this season) and a weakness in zone, he’s clearly more comfortable in press-man coverage.

The best NFL comp I’ve seen on him is a taller Janoris Jenkins which is spot on. I think he makes a good pair with Diggs who I see more as a high-end CB2.
