Yes, drafting Joey Bosa makes sense

[waving monkey]

Boza has become a rather polarizing prospect in these parts. I'm not sure why that is really. I know recently we've heard questions being raised about his drop off in production his senior year and the fact he was suspended the first game of the 2015 season, but I think those issues may be getting brought up by teams like Miami or Tampa who would love to see him fall to them. For those that say he's not worth the 4th overall pick because he's not talented enough, well, I have to wonder if they haven't watched him play and decided to read the "weaknesses" someone wrote up in a draft profile. I mean, he's being talked about by some like he should only be taken on day two.

Is he the second coming of DeMarcus Ware? Absolutely not. He's a different type of player. He's built to be a LDE in a 4-3 defense. That's another argument for some against drafting him. If he's not a pass rushing RDE, he's not worthy of this high of a draft pick. What's being missed is the fact that he'd have a huge impact for the Cowboys D in several ways even if he does play the left side.

ABSOLUTELY not. In no way, shape or form does it "make sense". Good talk.

 

[Alexander]

LDE only. If that's going to help us win more, go for it I guess.

 

[NEODOG]

No way.....

Wentz
Ramsey
Jack

At another time, sure but the player we end up drafting I will hate until the end of time. Not just him but his ancestors and children. The entire lineage.

Bosa, Ramsey, Jack, Elliott. Doesn't matter. They are not him. They are not the way.

We have LDEs.....puff puff PASS

About as much sense as drafting Greg Ellis #8 overall over Randy Moss without even trading down.

It was only 5 last year..lol.

Not feeling bosa. I think he has bust written all over him. Maybe a 3rd rounder or something but not at 4.

At the time many were considering Ellis to be a top ten pick.

You trade down when you want a certain player and their value doesn't match the pick. For example if Ellis would not have gone until 15 or 20, you trade down, but if Ellis is a top 10 pick, which was more or less his range, you take him if you do not want to deal with Randy Moss' baggage. And Chan Gailey did not want to deal with Moss' baggage and Jerry as he should have, did not force the player on a coach. Now, with the benefit of hindsight, Moss' baggage was actually less than an Irvin's in that he was never suspended for substance abuse, so taking him would have been the right decision, however, no one ever claimed that Ellis was rated higher than Moss.

Again, not true. Ellis was considered a top ten pick by several pundits. I can remember the East/West Shrine game praising Ellis, a potential top ten pick, for electing to play in the game. Now, Ekuban was a reach.

yea, that's what I said. I said *if* Ellis were a top 15 to 20 pick, trade down, but then went on to say his value was more or less top 10. I was literally agreeing with you

This article was from 2-25. A week and a half ago. So why are we rehashing it again?

 

[big dog cowboy]

For the record, I'm only going DE at 4 if there is a JJ Watt impact player available.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Isn't "Bosa" the Italian word for Mandarich?

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Bosa natural LDE and move Lawrence back to his more natural spot at RDE

 

[td4mvp2k]
