That is nice.

Wish it weren't against Iowa's offense.

This is our best 2nd rounder since Diggs.

I appreciate the fact that he is a relatively clean prospect. That is unlike us in the 2nd round.

56. Dallas Cowboys: Marshawn Kneeland, Edge, Western Michigan
In what was a pretty thin year for edges, Kneeland flashed as much as, or more than, anyone at that position. His production was inconsistent and does not match his ability — but when he was on, he was a dominant force in the MAC. There was some buzz Kneeland might creep into the first round. He’s one of the better run defender-pass rusher combinations in the class. Great value for the Cowboys, at a position of need.

Grade: A

I certainly value PFF's made up subjective metrics.

I hope Jerry didn't hear Kneeland call Mike "Boss man"...

You know how some guys you just get a gut feel about?

I feel good about this guy somehow. I think he's going to be a player.

All three of the picks until the Polamalu wannabe are like that. They seem like they are grounded.

The first call with Jerry he didn't say much, but when the radio guys called him for an interview he talked a lot more. He does seem grounded. I like that he was a track guy. He was a smaller guy when he was younger who grew into his body late. I like that he's not already a multimillionaire NIL guy from a huge football factory. And he looks like he plays super hard and throws his body around like some DEs don't.

But the gut feel isn't logical. Just some guys you feel better about, you know? He's one of those guys.

I don't get why they use landlines that they have to pass around. Why not at least use a speaker phone? Are they that cheap?
