With the 12th pick the Cowboys select

[stilltheguru]

Just what we need, another LBer. Why not just go TE?

Another? Which one do we have?

 

[Zekeats]

Another? Which one do we have?

Overshown and Clarke and it's really were Parsons should be playing on early downs but hey, guess we can keep getting run all over every game. For most of the game only 2 lbers play anyways and Overshown is a 3 down LBer. Campbell isn't gonna give this team an identity and take us to 12-13 wins. Jeanty could have that kind of an impact on this whole team.

OK. I looked at Jihaad's RAS card and got a 1.60 10 yard split, and looked at his Combine page and got a 1.53. That is an absolutely huge discrepancy.

I know some posters are concerned about his instincts but boy all the nuggets I am hearing/reading are positives

Jihaad Campbell is going very, very high​

My good friend Cory Kinnan beat me to the punch on Campbell. My fellow A to Z Sports analyst also confirmed the interest in the Alabama linebacker. At this point, there isn't any debate about which linebacker is going to come off of the board first. Campbell is the only answer to that question, and it is by a steep margin as well. The only question remaining is how high Campbell will go.

From the sounds of it, the answer to that question is very high. There are several teams near the top of the draft that value Campbell's ability to play multiple linebacker spots and even rush the quarterback on obvious passing situations. Campbell going off the board isn't out of the question, and top 15 seems extremely likely. I can't imagine a world where Campbell makes it past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at No. 19 overall.

My man said Clark lol. Ok bro

Campbell is an elite talent who will be a 3 down LBer. Good RBs will be available even on day 3. There's 20-25 good backs in this class, and will be some in FA.

Clark is a bottom of the roster player, if he's even that, and Overshown may not even play this year. Yes, we're desperately in need of LBers, Liufau is the only guy we have on the roster who isn't a practice squad caliber player.

I agree. We should take our one elite pass rusher and pass rush him less.

What else ya got? How's CeeDee staying home to block more treating you?

 

[ScotsCowboy]

You'd get more then a 3rd trading from 12-20. It should net you 400 points, which is a 2nd rounder. In no way do you trade Parsons.

All the better, dude.
And I love Micah, but:
1) his motormouth points to poor discipline and bad character;
2) it’s simply a matter of needing to spread our resources a bit more broadly. Handing out huge contracts to guys who aren’t improving is what’s landed us where we are.

If it’s a choice between one guy who’s generally excellent (albeit he had a patchy year), or a glut of draft picks for our threadbare roster, I know which direction I’m going:

If Jeanty is special he trumps anything an off ball LB can give you, at least in the short term. You won't find an off ball LB in the 2016 draft that would have given the team a Zeke type impact.

This is why you only have 3 trophy points.

Early run downs he's with him and Osa it's an easy 5+ yards for the other team to rush. I never liiked the moving him around stuff either, but since this team can't seem to just do the smart thing and move itself to a 3-4 to maximize it's talent then the next best thing is to get Micah off the line on early downs, blitz him as much as you want on early downs and obvious passing downs he's at end rushing the passer. Can't have guys 250lbs going against 350lbs on run downs which is why we get murdered against the run even against poor run teams.

 

[CCBoy]

Cowboys aren't going LB at 12. They just aren't.

This is still the best player scenario unless the pick would put a positional brick into an offensive or defensive group.
