What if Mason Graham falls?

[StuckMojo]

I like T Williams as well. Also like Harmon.. But they would be trade down options.

For me personally I am fine drafting Williams, Grant or Harmon at 12 if they can become a main piece/starter on the defensive line.

He left the combines with a couple of question marks ......... interesting to see if they are answered his Pro Day.

But I'm team improve trenches

Carter and Milton Williams played alot together in Philly. Solomon Thomas will have to have a seat

Well they were playing a 34 after all!

 

[stilltheguru]

Yeah I'd take him but I definitely don't think he's as good as some fans think. It's moreso he's a good talent and we need talent in the trenches. He's not some generational dt

I personally don’t think it’s out of the question that Graham falls to 12. Teams tend to fall in love with elite athletes in the top 11, and as good as Graham, is he doesn’t fit that category.

IF he does, should the Cowboys take him? And would they?

Graham and Osa really aren’t a fit to play next to each other more than 40% (or so) of the game. So with the commitment to Osa, would you still go 3 tech at 12?

then you take him and don't look back. fix the dang DT position

....you pick him up...at 12.
ipso-fatso...solved.

 

[gtb1943]

he is a top five talent on pretty much every reputable draft site

getting a top five talent at #12 is something you do not pass up on

UNLESS you get a real good trade offer

those trying to find nits with him make me laugh. He is the best DL lineman in the draft.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Not a big deal. He's being projected as a 3T, so you're going to be setting him up with 1 on 1s.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

There's zero chance he drops far enough unfortunately.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Are we sure we love Guyton at LT still or has the team so soured on him they just might draft his replacement?

No way they soured on him already, but always possible he moved to RT

If he falls to 12, you sprint the card with his name on it up to the podium.

They absolutely should take him if he's available at 12. TBH, I thought your post was going to be about trading up 2-3 spots to go get him if he got closer to us.
Osa is a very good DT, but he wouldn't stop me from drafting Graham.
But, unfortunately I think it will stop them from drafting him. And I don't disagree that having Osa at 3T means the spot we really need to upgrade is the 1T. So can we somehow land Grant instead?

 

[Creeper]

This is not as obvious a decision as one might think. There are a bunch of good DTs in this draft. I don't think the Cowboys are going DT in the first round. I would be more curious about what they would do if they took WR in the first and Grant fell to them in the 2nd.

I also think a guy like Darius Alexander might be a nice fit for Dallas in the 2nd or Norman-Lott in the 3rd. There will be options at DT throughout this draft. I am concerned Dallas is not going to take any of them.

The best performing rookie DT last year was picked in round 2.

yes and the TX #1 DT in the 2nd
