[Spade]

LB for when Lee gets hurt would be nice.

@jay211 @Spade @lightskin jermaine what happened to Kris Boyd? Remember how announcers would always sing his praises as a potential 1st rd pick and Texas fana would just smh.

Nothing is going on. He’s going where most thought he would. He was never a day 1 or day 2 player.

David Sills and Kris Boyd

The clinic that Boyd put on for how to cover David Sills was pretty concerning for the Mountaineer’s NFL prospects. Boyd measured at 5-11/201 with a 4.45 40, 4.08 shuttle, and 36.5″ vertical. He was always one of the freakiest athletes on the 40 acres, which is obviously saying a lot, and the issues were always with discipline and consistent fundamentals. Against Sills he put it together and used his strength and speed to knock Sills off his spots and prevent him from getting in position to present his big target area for Will Grier.

Of course, West Virginia was able to move Sills around and attack other Longhorn defenders so he still did his damage. The concern is whether Sills’ overpowering size, speed, and skill will translate when he’s more regularly facing topline coverage defenders. Like Jalen Hurd, he’s actually sorta new to his position, but you’re just dealing with a relative unknown. What’s his ceiling? The NFL isn’t always great about developing players, they prefer to leave that to the colleges, so Sills might be a steal for a team that will actually develop. Otherwise it’s on him to figure it out.

The same dimension could be an issue for Boyd, who will need to figure out some details in order to realize his athletic potential.

Never? C'mon a lot of people had him as a day 1 pick at the beginning of the season. He tested well, somebody should have picked him by now. Can't convince me all these cbs are better than him. Playing in the Big 12 is just a different beast for defensive backs. I would take him now if I were the Boys.

ESPN.com has had Kris Boyd as the best player left in the draft for the last round & and a half. nikka should've been drafted by now.

 

[jay211]

We have to either draft or sign LIL JORDAN HUMPHREY. There's no reason not to.

 

[El Bombi]

What about him?

What are y'all final verdict on him?

Should the Cowboys bring him in as an undrafted free agent?

I am talking about Texas fans, not the scouts or announcers. Texas fans didn't see day 1 or day 2 draftee and especially as the season progressed. Any receiver with speed ate him alive. He is physical and does have decent ball skills. But when teams needed a big play, they targeted him last year.

For the folks who want the Cowboys to draft LJH so bad:

Lil’Jordan Humphrey

The only thing more predictable than Humphrey running a weak 40 time was the overreaction and inevitable underrating that would occur afterwards. I couldn’t believe when I saw commentary from people before he ran predicting that he’d run fast or afterwards expressing shock that he ran slow. Did anyone watch him last season? Dude wasn’t doing his work by pulling away from people.

His 4.29 shuttle was really good but a little disappointing for a dude that ran a 4.16 there in high school and who slimmed down to 210 for the draft in order to run the best possible 40. My concern drafting Humphrey would be entirely about how he sees his own game and how willing he’d be to embrace my vision for his NFL career. He needs to be doing the same thing in the NFL he did in college, moving around in slot positions and using his elite combination of size, intelligence, quickness, and toughness to serve as a flex TE and chain mover in the middle of the field.

Too many people are regarding him as the wrong kind of tweener, too small to be a true TE and blocker but too slow to be a great WR. Instead, someone needs to regard him as a guy that’s big and tough enough to block some or punish smaller DBs and then too quick and skilled to be covered by a linebacker. When everyone is flexed out in space limitations like that should matter as much, the question isn’t “who can he handle in the box?” it’s “who can handle him in space?” If he goes to the right team and embraces a hybrid role like he did last year at Texas then he’ll be a very productive pro.

Basically LJH should be looked at as a Flex TE that you move around everywhere.

The Cowboys can definitely use a Flex TE for Dak to throw to, since they didn't draft a true TE earlier in the draft.

That sounds like too much creativity for Garrett.

LOL, That's what I'm worried about too. If LJH went to the Pats, Saints, Chiefs, Rams, or etc. they'd definitely would take advantage of his skillset.

Finally got a couple Hurricanes on the Cowboys!!!

Best of luck to Joe and Mike Jackson!
