Well, I suppose every off-season I get incredibly
bored this time of year what with nothing going
on of interest, so heck, I'm going to peruse the
news to link to and post excerpts about each of
the Cowboys 2021 draft picks.

Keep in mind, last season I was overly optimistic
regarding the Cowboys draft, so keep in mind the
following is highly presumptive with no way of know-
ing how the rookies will actually fare in the upcom-
ing preseason / season:

https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/mick-shots-some-capping-off-the-offseason

.... Cowboys first-round draft choice Micah Parsons
signed the standard four-year deal, with the club
option for a fifth back on June 9. Not bad for the
12th pick in the draft, four years, $17.079 million
fully guaranteed that comes with a $9.781 million
signing bonus.

But remember, with these rookie deals under the
CBA, those guys don't break the team's salary
cap, Parsons counting $3.1 million this year. If
these off-season workouts are any indication of
things to come, that will be a steal. ...

.... In the second round of this year’s draft, the Cow-
boys selected another defender. With the 44th over-
all pick, they drafted cornerback Kelvin Joseph from
the University of Kentucky. Standing at 6’1” and 192
pounds, Joseph can add a lot of speed and ball skills
to the Cowboys’ secondary, and he has the frame ...

.... to play well in Quinn’s cover-3 scheme. However,
his off-the-field issues raised a flag for NFL scouts
and analysts. ...

.... With the 75th overall pick, the Dallas Cowboys sel-
ected defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa from UCLA in
the third round. Standing at 6’1” and 282 pounds, he
is an explosive, disruptive tackle who recorded 27.5
tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks in 43 games with the
Bruins.

Odighizuwa plays with a lot of intensity off the snap
and is always looking to make plays in every area of
the field. ...

.... In the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, former
Hawkeye defensive end Chauncey Golston was sel-
ected by the Dallas Cowboys with the 84th overall
pick. ... Golston’s four-year rookie contract is pro-
jected to be worth about $4.9 million, according to
Spotrac.com.

Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing in at 269 pounds,
Golston was a mainstay on Iowa’s defensive line for
the last three seasons, competing in all of the Hawk-
eyes’ games from 2018-20.

Last year, Golston ... sacks, 5.5 . Golston also regis-
tered 8.5 tackles for loss and one forced fumble in
2020, garnering first-team All-Big Ten honors. ... Gol-
ston is projected to be the Cowboys’ backup right de-
fensive end, sitting behind starter Randy Gregory. ...

.... Cowboys coaches and executives have high praise
for Nahshon Wright through OTAs and minicamps thus
far, and expectations for him are high when training
camp starts in Oxnard on July 21. Head coach Mike
McCarthy addressed Wright specifically to the media
as heard by our own Mike Fisher:

.. “He’s made some plays. There are some technique
.. things, which we’re all are going through right now-
.. pretty much at every position- but yeah, I really like
.. the way that he’s jumped in here. He’s been aggres-

.. in your young guys.”

this team for 2021? ...

.... Film room: Why Dallas Cowboys LB Jabril Cox will
become a starter by 2023 - John Owning, Dallas Morn-
ing News

Perhaps the Cowboys’ most universally praised draft
pick this year was LSU linebacker Jabril Cox, whose
value as a fourth-round pick was hailed by almost ev-
eryone. But in a crowded linebacker room, Cox may
be waiting a few years to become a starter.

Look around the NFL and you will see that the pre-
vailing body type for linebackers has changed. The
6-foot-4, 250-pound downhill thumpers have given
way to the 6-foot-2, 230-pound athletes who can
make plays sideline-to-sideline and, most import-
antly, thrive in coverage.

That last point is why Cox will become a starter in
the future, as the 6-foot-3 and 232-pound linebacker
excels in coverage.

As offenses have zeroed in on creating mismatches
and taking advantage of the defense’s second-level
defenders, players like Cox have become extremely
valuable on Sundays in an effort to defend opposing
offense’s aerial attacks.

In college, Cox’s film in pass coverage is some of the
best I’ve seen at the linebacker in recent memory,
as he even outperformed most safeties in the class
against the pass.

Cox is excellent in zone coverage, as he does well
relating to receivers entering his area while maintain-
ing the proper spacing and reading the quarterback’s
intentions. ...

https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/mailbag-guessing-at-the-dt-rotation

.... I hear all about our defensive rookies, but what about
Josh Ball? We picked him in the fourth round, how did
he look during OTAs?

David: From our vantage point, Ball looked to me like a
guy who was trying to acclimate to the speed of the NFL
game. It's a big jump from college, and I'd guess he's
going to have his hands full with experienced NFL pass
rushers like DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory and
Tarell Basham.
