Man, I really think Dallas needs to take this guy. I like him better than Goff. He is 6' 5" and 236 lbs and has a rifle arm that he still has touch with for the lobs.

If he is still there at 4. Cleveland is at two and they are definitely taking a QB.

If I'm the Cowboys doctor or part of the organization Romo's vertebrae would not be healing properly and will need A LOT more time to evaluate it.

The whole country watched Von and Ware dominate the playoffs this year.  I don't see Bosa being there at 4, but if he is Dallas needs to grab him.

Here's a scouting report on Joe Looney. (Bryan Broddaus from dallascowboys.com)

 

Name: 

This is the hidden content, please

Position: OG/C
College:  Wake Forest
Height: 6-3
Weight: 309
Draft: 117th overall by San Francisco, 2012

Games Studied: 2015 Tennessee vs. Carolina, Jacksonville; 2014 San Francisco vs. Seattle

 
Report: Looney is a similar type of player in what they had in Mackenzy Bernadeau, given his athletic ability and position flexibility. He has lined up at center and guard during his NFL career. Belly-to-belly blocker that likes to get tight to his man in order to control him.

One knock against him is that he tends to play upright and a little stiff. There’s not much knee bend or flex. He plays with a wide base when it comes to pass protection. He plays with some upper body power and strength, and this allows him to hold his man in place. He also shows some punch and power in his hands.

 

When Looney gets his hands inside, he can be tough to disengage from in this position. There are snaps where his hands get outside the frame of the defender and it will put him in a terrible blocking position. Like Bernadeau, he’s not the smoothest athlete when it comes to getting to the second level. He’s often out of balance and left trying to adjust in space. If he gets close to his man, he has enough power to push him past the play. He can position block all day when he’s one-on-one and he can keep the defender tight.

One thing I’ll say for him is that he has really nice awareness to help in the pocket when he is uncovered. As a center, he showed more initial quickness but had his troubles when he had to execute back blocks. Against Seattle in 2014, the opposing defensive linemen were just too fast up the field for him to get in front. He was beaten badly to his off-hand side for a penetration. However, he was aware to adjust to the blitz. He wasn’t fooled by the game upfront and was able to make the correct read.

Bottom line: this is a limited athlete that plays with power and smarts. I liked him better as a guard than center but the fact that he can do both helps this team’s situation.

The Dallas Cowboys suffered another big blow to an already depleted defensive front.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the team and Demarcus Lawrence were notified that the defensive end faces a four-game suspension for another failed drug test. Lawrence is appealing the suspension, according to sources informed of the situation.

The Dallas Morning News first reported the pending ban.

Lawrence was previously hit with a four-game fine for a substance abuse violation, making a four-game suspension the next step.

Dallas already had huge question marks along the defensive front entering next week's NFL draft. Earlier this offseason, defensive end Randy Gregory was suspended for the first four contests for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. The Cowboys have wanted nothing to do with bringing back Greg Hardy. Jeremy Mincey also remains unsigned.

The depletion of depth along the defensive line could force the Cowboys to eschew the likes of running back Ezekiel Elliott or corner Jalen Ramsey and use their No. 4 overall pick on a pass rusher, such as Joey Bosa.

WOW!!! Looks like Bosa may have to be taken with the 4th pick now. And maybe Prescott later.

I believe you are correct. Tho Mel Kiper has us taking Elliot now. With the addition of Alfred Morris in the offseason i dont see why we would take him. Bosa with the 4th pick and then probably Dak later.

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project.  But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ...  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
