What were his numbers supposed to look like in college?Why doesn't Garrett's production match up with his combine numbers tho
He almost had at least 10 sacks a year for his 3 years in college
Half his sacks last year (4.5) came against UTSA :Scustbrutus:What were his numbers supposed to look like in college?
He almost had at least 10 sacks a year for his 3 years in college
Didn't do nothing in big games
What about his freshman and sophomore season when he wasn't injured?
Look like you're a little biased :Bronnonikkas:Didn't do nothing in big games

Cowboys Plan Defensive Draft, Adoree' Jackson In Play at 28
What a difference a year makes. A year ago at the NFL Scouting Combine, the Cowboys had the fourth-overall pick with a number of issues to address for the future of the franchise. Dallas' front office hit a home run in the 2016 NFL Draft by landing young franchise quarterback Dak Prescott in the fourth round after taking star running back Ezekiel Elliott in the opening frame. Playing behind the best offensive line in the NFL, Dallas' young duo led them to the top-seeded team in the NFC before falling in an epic playoff game against the Packers. In speaking with members of the Cowboys scouting staff, Dallas is inclined to have more of a defensive draft in 2017.
The Cowboys could look to upgrade a few places on their defense. Last year, Dallas was close to drafting cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and corner remains a position that they look to address. Sources have said they have Adoree' Jackson graded in the first round, and he could be in play for Dallas. There were concerns about Jackson's height, but he measured in at 5-foot-10, 186 pounds, and those numbers are similar to former Chargers first-round pick Jason Verrett. Dallas likes Jackson's cover skills and ability to prevent separation.
Dallas also wants to upgrade its pass rush, and there are a number of edge rushers who could interest them in the first round. As Jerry Jones stated, the Cowboys need a "war daddy" to lead their pass rush, so they could easily go with a defensive end.

Teams Have Mixed Grades on Corey Davis
Entering the combine, the consensus top three wide receivers for the 2017 NFL Draft were Clemson's Mike Williams, Washington's John Ross, and Western Michigan's Corey Davis. Williams was impressive during the field drills on Saturday, but Ross was the talk of the combine, as he set the record for the fastest 40-yard dash time, breaking Chris Johnson's mark. WalterFootball.com first reported that Davis wouldn't workout at the combine, and injuries will keep him from running at his pro day as well. Those are lost opportunities for Davis, as a number of teams have told WalterFootball.com that Williams and Ross had been graded higher entering the combine.
In surveying six teams, four of them had a late first-round/early second-round grade on Davis, while two teams thought he could go in the top 20. Every team likes Davis as a player and off the field, but some teams just feel that his talent level is indicative of a late first- or second-round pick. One team picking early in the second round has Davis as one of its targets for early in Friday night. However, the three other teams think that Davis is more likely to get picked late in the first round, and that team won't get a shot at Davis on Friday night.
Two teams felt that Davis is deserving of going in the top 20. WalterFootball.com reported Saturday that Davis was in the pool of possibilities for Tampa Bay with the 19th-overall pick. Team sources have said that Davis has interviewed well while in Indianapolis, so the combine was beneficial for him in that regard.
It is unclear how much working out Davis will be able to do before the draft, but team sources say they don't anticipate changing their grade on Davis. His years of good tape and production speak for themselves

Devoted Joel Embiid hater
Garrett was expected to shine here that's the only reason he's projected to high. It sure isn't because his on the field play
Would love it if Adoree fell to the Saints in round 2
Not too fussed tho, so much DB talent to go round
Could mess around and get Jourdan Lewis, Desmond King, Cordera Tankersley or Gareon Conley
