Why the Cowboys passed on Juan Thornhill and other safeties

[cowboyec]

have no problem with it....we needed a DT like Hill....I trust Richard with the secondary.
with Richard signing off on a DT...plus Marinelli's connection with Hill....pretty much cemented the pick.
STOP.THE.RUN.

Do the cowboys realize that you need 2 safeties that can cover. This isn't 15 years ago. The strong safety position is dead. Look at barry church

Let the best man win between Heath, Iloka, Frazier, and Wilson

Ie. the least terrible.

One just went in the 1st round in Abram. He is a pure SS.

Yup and just watch. This is a passing league when defenses are in nickel 65% of the time. Raiders have said they might play him at LB on passing downs. That would make sense for them but not for us who have LVE and Jaylon in the nickel

Can our new signee Mike Jackson move to strong safety? Maybe thats a thought they have as well

Maybe they move him around in OTA's and mini camp to see. And if so, then maybe at the start of TC. But whatever they decide, I hope they make that decision and leave him there.

How is it dead? And what does Barry have to do with it, you are basing it off of 1 player, who really was not as bad as you think.
You still need your SS to be able to tackle also. Used in the run game.

Yes but still need to cover and can't be slow.
