For this weeks segment, I decided to write about a few players that the Cowboys should go after in the upcoming NFL draft. I will be discussing three different players and how they would fit in, all the way from needs to wants. So without further delay, here we go.
First on our list is Joey Bosa, defensive end, Ohio State. Sure the Cowboys have a nice pass rush with the additions of Randy Gregory, Demarcus Lawrence and Greg Hardy, but there have been some developments since the season ended. There are reports that the Boys are going to cut ties with the troubled Greg Hardy and also Randy Gregory has been suspended 4 games for violating the leagues substance abuse rule. This is not great news for us and only makes Joey Bosa a match made in heaven if he falls to us at the 4th pick. Joey Bosa is projected to go number one by most experts. He is just that good! However, I have a different theory. I have a strong feeling that the Titans will take Laremy Tunsil, LT out of Ole Miss to help strengthen their prize possession in Marcus Marietta. Then I think the Brown will go QB at number 2 and take Jared Goff out of California. Then pick 3 is where I think the Chargers could take Boss, but I have a gut feeling that they go WR or CB, maybe Jalen Ramsey, CB out of Florida State. Leaving Bosa still there with the 4th pick. I think that this would be a great fit for the Cowboys and would fill a pass rush void immediately. When you have pro comparisons of a mixture of Jared Allen and J.J. Watt, well it doesn’t take a genius that this kid is nothing less than a beast.
Next man up, Jared Goff, QB, California. As many of us know, the end of Romo is near. Im a huge Romo supporter and love what he has done for this franchise, but lets be realistic here. Its only a matter of time before age and numerous shoulder and back surgeries will catch up to you. So leads me to believe that the Cowboys could consider taking a QB with the 4th overall pick. Im a big fan of both Goff and Carson Wentz, but the problem here is they are not immediate franchise QBs. We aren’t talking about immediate starters like an Andrew Luck or an RG3. We are talking about players that will have to sit and ride the bench for 2-3 years and wait for their number to be called. Don’t get me wrong, both QBs are good players, but in my eyes, are not worth the value of the 4th overall pick. In my opinion, I think we should go after a QB in free agency and pick a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft. I mean theres even a small chance that Carson Wentz or Paxton Lynch will fall to the 2nd round. That would be golden if it happened that way.
Next up, RB need. Losing Demarco Murray was one of the worst things we could do. I know he did absolutely horrible in Philly, but it just was not his scheme. He didn’t fit in there at all. In comes Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden for the replacements. I was never a fan of Joseph Randle from the get go. I liked him in college and as a backup RB, but never wanted him to be the main guy. Goes to show my feelings for the guy were not too far off, as he has been dealing with so many off the field incidents and arrests that I literally lost count. McFadden on the other hand surprised us all. I was mortified when I heard the Cowboys had signed him in the off season. Just like many of you, I figured he would not last half of the season due to injury. Well as funny as it may sound, he was probably the healthiest player on our roster! I still like McFadden behind the number one offensive line in the NFL, but age has a way of creeping up on you, especially as physical as the position is. So drafting a RB is definitely a possibility. In comes Heisman winner, Derrick Henry out of Alabama. Henry is probably one of the biggest and most athletic RBs to come out of draft in a long time. At 6’3 and 247 lbs of pure muscle, Henry is nothing less than an absolute beast! Drafting Henry with the 4th is a bold move, but he should come to Dallas and provide immediate production as a starter.
Well thats it for this week. New segment will be posted next week. Thanks for tuning in!
