Sonny Styles scouting report and draft pick reasoning for the Cowboys from Brugler: “The last time the Cowboys had multiple top-20 picks, in 2005, they went with two defenders (Demarcus Ware and Marcus Spears). That is the expected approach for Dallas in the upcoming draft, too. At 6 feet 4 and 240 pounds with 4.5 speed, Styles is a freak of nature. He doesn’t miss tackles, and his read-react skills get better with every game.”

Avieon Terrell scouting report from Dane Brugler: “Terrell, the younger brother of Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell, doesn’t have elite size — and it shows at times versus bigger targets. But he does have NFL-level athleticism and competes like a linebacker. Over the last two seasons, Terrell has combined for 25 passes defended and eight forced fumbles. He has a ‘Honey Badger’ aura to him.”

  16. sad day for me today. my cat bowser who actually loved my cowboys jacket will sadly be put to sleep after 18 awesome years. because he is a fellow cowboys fan i will be burying him with my jacket.

  22. Best path is to re-sign Clowney and another veteran DE in FA. Sign an Eric Kendricks type LB in FA. Sign a veteran safety in FA. You draft a corner and go BPA at one of the other 3 defensive positions I mentioned. Everything isn't gonna be fixed in one off-season cycle anyways. Dallas needs to simply draft different than usual on defense. Get players that produced consistently, play with an edge, and have instincts. Forget measurables and projections. Get good football players, period.

  23. 🤔 here is what I would do. If I was the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. I would drive me a quarterback to develop for the future. Prescott was never the dude the pieces of eye on him makes him look the part.🤔😎👌🏼 food for thought Cowboys for life

  24. 🤔 if I am the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, I would draft a quarter back that will not take 10 years to look like a traditional franchise quarterback. Prescott has been in the league going on 11 years and 11 years of excuses when you have a offense with weapons like Prescott had, you should know how to orchestrate the offense with patients to protect your defense that is weak that’s what real quarterbacks do. No one has to tell them they already know my defense is not playing good and it don’t look like they are going to be playing good anytime this season so his mindset would be not to depend on the defense, but to depend on the offense that he’ll be orchestra to drive that ball down the field with patients run that clock down so when the other team gets the ball, it’ll be urgent for them to go down there and score a touchdown and with the weapons Prescott possesses that’s what makes him look like a traditional quarterback go look back when he didn’t have no receivers that was number one he can barely get the ball down field and then just this year Prescott quit on his team, the Denver Broncos game and the LA Chargers game now when he’s winning, he’s always taking the knee. He’s not letting the second string go to third string coming and closed the game out, but when he’s losing, he don’t want no parts of the ending of the game, trying to make sure his stats deteriorate so people can have things to say about him in a good life and bring all the other teammates down. Is the defense fault the offense of line didn’t block well. The running back didn’t hit the hose quick enough excuses excuses.🤦🏼‍♂️ and I am sick of it we need a real traditional leader of a quarterback. Prescott is a fraud.🤔😎👌🏼 food for thought Cowboys for life
