With the 12th pick the Cowboys select

[Paperbag]

Exactly my point.......unless Graham or even Tmac falls, this kid can have the most impact from day one IMO.

You sold me n it

Jihaad Campbell LBer.........Eberflus loves Lbers and LVE proved Jerry isn't afraid of drafting one with a 1st rounder. Couple things;
** Unless an unexpected top 5 player falls
** 3 mocks had this kid around 13-10 ( one had the 49ers drafting him at 11)

He can also rush the passer.

Keep this in mind. He was originally recruited to Alabama as an Edge Rusher. He was changed to linebacker because of their depth at edge. I read somewhere that he led Alabama in sacks this season.

This…I’d prefer Schwesh a round later for this exact reason.

If instincts isn’t a positive for a linebacker I’m typically not going to be very high on them.

We have seen all world athletes like Bruce Carter for example struggle cause of this.

I’m captain trade back this year

People are overthinking Campbell. His processing is fine. He's legitimately the best lb prospect in the past few years. No, Jack Campbell wasn't a better prospect

i would rather draft Will Campbell rather than Jihaad Campbell.

Maybe in a trade down…but 12 is too rich.

In my mock I got Miami taking him @ the next pick after us. And if you have played with any mocks....there is a window of players of about 25 that are all the same caliber. We are the last team to pick in that 1st tier window. I wouldn't be opposed if he was the pick....since the LBs available in the draft and free agency are thin.

A stout dline can mask a lot of stuff on the back 7. Starts up front. Let's get that fixed first.

Cowboys need to trade down. They need draft picks badly. Several teams will want Jihaad Campbell badly enough to want to trade up for the Cowboys 12th spot.

Trade down into the early-to-mid 20s while picking up a late 2nd round pick. If LB Danny Stutsman is available, take him in the 20s. He's the 2nd best MLB in this draft. If Stutsman is also gone, try to trade down into either the end of the 1st round or very beginning of the 2nd round while picking up an extra 3rd round and maybe a 4th or 5th. Then go to school drafting 5-6 players in the first 4 rounds to help fill up the many holes we have on the team.

On both sides of the ball

LBr in FA isn’t thin…the Raiders LBr is a stud.

Honestly beginning to feel like both trading down and trading Micah is the way to go.

For instance:
We trade to around 20 for a 3rd. Meanwhile, we also trade Micah for a mid-high 1 and two 2s

That gives us two picks in each of the first 3 rounds this year, and an extra 2nd rounder next year.

1st: Take Jihaad Campbell (to replace Micah) and best OT or DL available.

2nd: Best RB or WR available (e.g. TreVeyon Henderson or Savion Williams), and take another lineman - on the opposite side to the guy picked in the 1st round.

3rd: Again, RB or WR (whichever one wasn’t picked in the second) and another DT for good measure.

Use our four 5th rounders to beef up the secondary, and maybe to add a MLB to replace Kendricks, if we can’t get someone in free agency.
[Also, we should at the v least take 1 good OL in FA, even if it’s simply someone known to our coaches previously: like Hernandez, the Cardinals RG, who has worked with Klayton Adams.]

Matthew Golden is my pick at 12. Speed, route running, and played against top flight competition. I think Carolina will take him at 8 though.

 

[reddyuta]

keep an eye on Will Johnson, if he runs well in his pro day then he is legitimate target at 12
