I mean I like the idea of trading down and adding a third round pick. I go back and fourth on Morgan. I think his lack of arm length shows. But I like him better at LT than LG. He has the feet for LT. I don't think he has the power for LG. I like interior guys to be powerful. I don't think Morgan is that powerful. Sure I think he would do really well on the pulling and second level stuff but in terms of driving a 340 pound DT out of the inside, I don't think he has it.Yates latest. Trade down with the Niners. Netting us a third.
31. Dallas Cowboys (via mock trade with SF)
Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
The Cowboys figure to be locked in on a tackle following Tyron Smith's departure in free agency, especially if they intend to keep Tyler Smith at left guard. No other team has been more passive in free agency, but after the trade back, the Cowboys can fill holes and build depth through the draft. Morgan can be a starting left tackle, but he also can kick inside to left guard if Dallas ultimately prefers to move Tyler Smith to tackle full time. Morgan would make it eight offensive tackles in Round 1, which would tie the 2008 common draft era record (since 1967), per ESPN Stats & Information.
At LT I think he can stay with anyone. I just worry that a longer armed defender could give him trouble. It's not just his lack of arm length, it's that he doesn't extend what arm length he does have. To me he is kind of a lower upside but lower downside Oline prospect.
