Meet Your 2012 Dallas Cowboys Draft Prospects!!!

PrintBored, sick, not much explanation needed. Personal scouting reports of these potential future Dallas Cowboys.
Janoris Jenkins CB Northern Alabama
Strengths:
Great cover corner with elite quickness. He has good speed and is also extremely aggressive in the pass game. His quickness helps cover up his physical limitations and has a great beat on the ball. Their were obvious questions about the level of competition Jenkins has been facing in Division II but he answered those questions during the Seniors Bowl week. He faced off against the most impressive wide receivers in the country and showed that he still can play against top competition.
Weaknesses:
The main question mark with Jenkins is his off the field issues. He has been an upstanding citizen ever since joining Northern Alabama but those questions about his character at Florida will be there until draft day. In addition to the character questions, Jenkins has also been known to get beaten deep more then he should. He is overly aggressive at times leading to him getting beaten by double moves or pump fakes. He is also only 5'10 which would make it tough for him to cover the bigger, more physical receivers.
Upside: A more physical Asante Samuel in his prime, absolute ball hawk, could lead the league in interceptions. Downside: DeAngelo Hall, will get you a good amount of interceptions but will also frustrate the hell out of you with his over aggressiveness.
Odds he is drafted by the Cowboys: 7-1
David DeCastro G Stanford
Strengths:
DeCastro is an extremely popular player among Cowboys fans nowadays and for good reason. DeCastro is probably the second most sure thing prospect in this years draft behind Andrew Luck. He has excellent footwork which might be the most desirable trait in an NFL guard. He also has an ideal frame at 6'5 310 and is strong enough to hold up defenders. In addition to his strength, he is also quick enough to pull on running plays and would fit in nicely with our young and mobile line. He holds his own in pass rushing and should help eliminate the interior pressure on Tony Romo. He has a mean streak which is very important in offensive lineman but has never been considered dirty. He would be the safest pick for the Cowboys.
Weaknesses:
DeCastro is not considered an elite athlete for his position. Besides his athletic limitations the only real question about picking him at 14 is if it is too early to pick a guard. I'm sure 95% of Cowboys fans would have no problem taking a guard this high if he was this highly touted. DeCastro should be their when we pick at 14 so it will come down to if Jerry feels comfortable taking an offensive lineman in the first round two years straight.
Upside: Brian Waters like career, long illustrious career that ends in Canton. Downside: Chris Snee like career, good not great, multiple Pro Bowls, starts on our line for a long time.
Odds he is drafted by the Cowboys: 10-1
Melvin Ingram OLB South Carolina
Strengths:
One of the most versatile players in the draft. His 6'2 278lb frame will allow him to play inside at 3-4 end or slide outside and play on the edge as well. He has extremely strong and active hands that allows him to disengage blockers well. He is also very athletic with quick feet and can drop into coverage. He plays with a high motor and has one of the highest ceilings in this draft.
Weaknesses:
He has often been criticized for his short arms and some scouts do think that that could become a problem at the next level. He needs some work in the run game and has trouble sticking with running backs in the flat. He is often turned around by bigger stronger blockers but that is something that can be fixed with the right coaching. He has had some injury problems in the past but nothing that should alter how the Cowboys will look at him.
Upside: Lamar Woodley, him and Ware could pass Harrison and Woodley as the best OLB duo in the league. Downside: Shaun Phillips, pretty good pass rusher, maybe has a couple pro bowl level years but never anywhere close to elite
Odds he is drafted by Cowboys: 15-1
Dre Kirkpatrick CB Alabama
Strengths:
Kirkpatrick stands at 6'2 which would be a huge plus for our defense. He is physical and good at jamming receivers at the line of scrimmage. Excellent in run support and an elite tackler for a corner. He really excels in zone coverage over man coverage.He has great instincts that really show in zone coverage. His ability to close on the ball and his long arms help him break up a lot of passes. Known for his great work ethic and his confidence on the field, nicknamed "Swag" by his teammates
Weaknesses:
Not an elite athlete, some consider him to be lanky. He does struggle in man coverage at times especially against quicker receivers. Also their are obvious questions about his character after his marijuana arrest. The charges have been dropped but the fact that he was still arrested is still a question mark. He might not have the upside that Jenkins has but he could be a safer pick.
Upside: Charles Tillman, good cornerback, tall and physical with a knack for the ball.Pro Bowl level during his prime Downside: less athletic Antonio Cromartie, big overrated corner who will excite you with big plays but struggles in coverage.
Odds he is drafted by the Cowboys: 18-1
Michael Brockers DT LSU
Strengths:
Brockers is both a talented pass rusher and run defender. He generates a good bull rush in the pass game and is also quick enough to rush off the edge. He is an excellent tackler using his length and strength to bring down ball carriers once he gets a hand on them. He was consistently productive throughout this year in the run game even while being double teamed most of the plays. He is extremely light on his feet for his size and changes direction with ease. He is only a redshirt sophomore but he has one of the highest ceilings out of any player in this draft.
Weaknesses:
Brockers is young and somewhat inexperienced having only started one year at the collegiate level. Might not contribute his rookie year as much as other prospects but has extremely high long term potential. He still needs to fill out his 6'6 frame and he also struggled with his technique some. He struggled some in the BCS national championship game against Alabama.
Upside: Richard Seymour, huge disruptive force that could get to the passer and eat up double teams allowing Rat to finally be unleashed. Downside: Glenn Dorsey, their is real bust potential here since he may be rushing into the draft.
Odds he is drafted by the Cowboys: 20-1
Quinton Coples
Strengths:
Coples is an absolute freak of nature, everyone knows that. He is 6'6 285lbs and strong as a bull. He is extremely versatile and can fit into any scheme, including ours at 3-4 end or OLB. His biggest strength is his block shedding, he regularly sheds double teams using his strong rip move and also effective swim move. He also uses the bull rush to push lineman back into the quarterback. His long arms and strong hands make him a solid tackler. Very powerful and very quick feet.
Weaknesses:
Coples biggest question mark has to be his motor. He was often caught giving up on plays during his senior season. His awareness and lack of ability to bat down balls is also a problem. The biggest problem will probably be that he wont be available at 14 though.
Upside: Justin Smith, ideal 3-4 end, extremely disruptive and instantly makes the entire defense better Downside: 2011 Adam Carriker, their is bust potential there due to his lack of motor
Odds he is drafted by the Cowboys: 25-1
Courtney Upshaw
Strengths:
If Jerry wants to find a pass rusher in this draft, he should look no further then Courtney Upshaw. He is extremely powerful and uses the rip move as his go to move. Also uses a bull rush to close the pocket. He has a good burst and a great motor. Fundamentally sound tackler who never stops moving on the field. Extremely strong throughout his body but especially in his legs. He really shined on the biggest stage, the national championship game bringing home defensive MVP honors. He holds up well against the run and could be a key contributor on special teams but his obvious strength is in the pass rush.
Weaknesses:
Upshaw's biggest weakness is coverage, mainly because he rarely dropped back into coverage in Alabama's scheme. If he is asked to cover tight ends or running backs in the NFL he could struggle. Upshaw was arrested in 2009 but the charges were dropped. Also probably will not be available when the Cowboys pick at 14.
Upside: Tamba Hali, an elite pass rusher to put across from DeMarcus Ware Downside: VIctor Butler, situational pass rusher who also stars on special teams but struggles in the run game and in coverage.
Odds he is drafted by the Cowboys: 30-1

Interesting.
I’d want Coples, Kirkpatrick, DeCastro, Upshaw, Ingram, and Jenkins. In that order
by BrickTop on Feb 7, 2012 6:11 PM CST via mobile reply actions
nice write up ...
But if im dallas im going with the OG or Ingram.. i wonder if ingram stock might fall bc of his arm strength a poor senior bowl performace. Arms is huge for the OLB or DE postion Just think how many balls jpp bat down during the sb.
by lostar2009 on Feb 7, 2012 6:19 PM CST via mobile reply actions
i agree
i really like ingram but that is one thing that really worries me about him at the next level
Demarcus Ware- making Sheli Manning piss his pants since 2005
If we get a OG in FA...
then we don’t need Decastro…if we resign Spencer, then we don’t need an OLB. Unless we sign 2 top tier CB FA’s, we need Jenkins or “Swag”. I think we could survive with our current O-line prospects (barely) and Spencer/Butler but we can not survive with just Mike Jenkins and Scandrick back there (with our 2 current safeties, give me Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu, we might have a shot). If we don’t sign any good FA corners and don’t resign Newman and/or Ball, and I really hope we don’t resign them, then we are incredibly short at Corner, we would need 2, if not 3, in the draft. Anyway, I say Jenkins or “Swag” are no-brainers at this point unless we splash in FA.
Sorry but jenkins
Sorry guys but I really want Jenkins to wear the star. We have been needing a stud corner for a long time. Yes the boyz gotta do their research on him first but dang would he help us. If not, then I’d take Kirkpatrick, decastro, or Ingram…in that order. I really feel Ryan will do something to help the pass rush, whether fa help or draft help.
i'd take Kirkpatrick if he's there at the 14th pick...
reason being the cowboys play the giants, eagles and redskins 2 times a year….and all of those teams can run a spread formation …do you really want to see a 2nd or 3rd round pick rookie covering those teams WR’s ?…they would be the new Tnew replacements only cheaper and the same caliber of production..IMO
less baggage...for beginners ...and I have my concerns about him at the pro level but
a decent FA will cost 8 mil a year with only being a marginal upgrade….and ‘im just guessing about that ….ya gotta weight the risk money your spending and is that talent better than what you can draft ?…and to me a corner that can cover and tackle is on my 1A list in the draft every draft…I would address DE first round caliber types in FA if the draft doesn’t seem to show much potential …at the 14th pick…and I think the DE ..OLB class this year is really weak at 14

F/A Jason Jones
1.Jenkins
2.Chandler Jones
3.Senio Kelemete
4 BPA
5 BPA
6 BPA
7 Wayne Dorsey
Would work
I have to ask
Are you Jason Jones’ agent, BFF, family member, or a Titans fan as well?
Just curious. I like Jason Jones, but I think we’ll have to get into a bidding war with Tennesse, St Louis, and Philly.

Also try to get Jason Smith if the price is right.
by Jonathan Stern on Feb 7, 2012 9:19 PM CST up reply actions
There is Mario Williams , Campbell, Avril I don’t think any of those guys is going to be available.
After those guys Jason Jones is the best F/A DE. Or he has the most upside of any FA DE after the those three guys
He is better than what the Cowboys have at DE.
The lack of pass rush from t DE position is what is messing up the Cowboys.
I think he is better than just about any DE the Cowboys can get in the draft after round 2.
I think he can get the Cowboys 6 sacks a season from the DE position.
I also think he won’t be that expensive to sign.
He has all the right numbers for a defensive end.
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=68142&draftyear=2008&genpos=
His numbers are sort of like Quinton Coples. He is something better than a poor man’s Quinton Coples.
I think Jones ’ best football is ahead of him.
But more than anything don’t want to go into next season with the same defensive line. If the Cowboys don’t upgrade their defensive line in a major way then the Cowboys can pretty much write off next season. Cause without a better defensive line the best the Cowboys can hope for is making the play off only to get laughed out of Green Bay in the first round. That is not my idea of a successful season.
Fair enough
I will say this, I just heard on the San Diego Sports Radio Station XX/1090 that the Chargers will possibly be interested in him as well. He would also upgrade their DL. Let’s hope Dallas can get him.

I disagree about Brockers
He’s not a talented pass rusher; 2 sacks and 10 TFLs in 2 seasons of playing time. He’s more of a run stopper.
In that picture he flattened Brantley, a garbage (at worst), meh (at best) QB from Florida. That picture makes him look better than he really is.

I think he could be a good player but I would not take him at 14 way too risky maybe with a trade down.
by Jonathan Stern on Feb 7, 2012 9:15 PM CST up reply actions
haha i didnt base my scouting report on him off the picture
he might not rack up the sacks but he can generate pressure and is frequently double teamed
Demarcus Ware- making Sheli Manning piss his pants since 2005
Don't base his actual pass rushing ability off of college production
Michael Brockers is entering as a redshirt sophomore. He’s immensely raw. His technique has been everywhere. However, he does definitely possess the physical ability to be a talented pass rusher and run defender. He has about as much talent as Quenton Coples does; Brockers has no motor/character issues, Coples is much more polished. He’ll fly up draft boards after the combine.
The only time I take redshirt sophmores in the draft
is if the guys produced at a high level in college, thus showing off “their potential”.
In my opinion, something needs to be said for production as well as potential.

No Brockers please
First of all, I enjoyed your post very much. Good job! I do not want Brockers. I would love to beef up the dline, but he seems like a boom/ bust project. Yeah, he might be great in two years, but he also might be JAG. At pick 14 we need to draft a safe pick, who has been productive in college. We cannot miss on this pick. Brockers underproduced at LSU. Spears, Dorsey, Jackson. All dlineman who were highly touted out of LSU that have disappointed big time in the NFL. One of the positives of having so many needs is that we can try to draft BPA, and we will still likely fill a need. If Coples or DeCastro fall to us, we gotta take one of them. If not, trust the scouts and follow your board.
Loved your comparison of Jenkins to Samuel
Exactly what I was thinking. He’s a ballhawk with good instincts and great quickness. He also plays bigger than he is.
I’d take Decastro. Switch the tackles and sign a center. Really see what Romo can do…..
Corners are more of a luxury pick.
Favorite Prospects: Martin, Burfict, Rainey, Curry
Corners are more important than Guards
Though DeCastro is ok as a BPA

defense wins championships
Besides offensive lineman can be developed it is the position where someone doesn’t need to be a great athlete to be successful .
Anyway the vast majority of NFL teams would rather take a CB than a guard in the first round. In fact unless the guard is going to be a Larry Allen or a Steve Hutchenson (the best of the best ) you don’t take a guard in the first round.
We ought not be trying for 10 -6 just to get in the playoffs only to get destroyed by the Packers. That is a failure , not a success.
The only way to the Superbowl is with a championship defense. Which is a defense that stops the pass either with a rush or with pass defense . Preferably both. Actually it has to be both.

thats the exact comparison I make too, very similar

by Archie Barberio on Feb 8, 2012 12:55 PM CST up reply actions
But I think they should....
They should just draft an elite athlete at tackle that can also play guard in the third. (Exactly what Nicks was). Then use the first rd pick on DeCastro, switch the tackles, and sign a center in free agency.
Second rd pick pass rush.
Sign 2 mid tier corners in free agency, and maybe a NT so they can get rid of Spears and move Ratliff to DE.
Favorite Prospects: Martin, Burfict, Rainey, Curry
If DeCastro wasn’t there you could trade back and take Cordy Glenn in the early 20’s. In the 3rd target Guard(Nix/Washington) or Center(Jones/Brewster).
I’ll admit Im really drooling at seeing that O-line solidified once and for all, but it’s probably asking too much of this organization and it also probably short changes the Defense too much in the process.
How sweet would these be though?
Smith/Nix/Kowalski/DeCastro/Free
Smith/Glenn/Brewster/Arkin/Free plus an extra 2nd rounder
That’d be allot of prime beef flying around. And you’d still have your original second to draft Curry or Irvin to replace Spencer. BUT ‘No corners for you!’

Couples is the guy
If he’s there which I don’t expect him to be. That’s the only D lineman I feel strong enough about to take at that spot as of now. If its not DeCastro, than we have to pull the trigger on which ever corner is there. Most likely Jenkins.
by P.N.Westernboysfan on Feb 7, 2012 11:40 PM CST via mobile reply actions
I would rather have DeCastro
Because I think he is the biggest can’t miss prospect, and lets not kid ourselves here, Tony Romo is our biggest asset. Without Romo, we go nowhere. Without a running game we go nowhere. Ball control offense is almost as good as upgrading the defense. A strong OL makes these things possible.
My dream is for SJ to find a way to manipulate the cap in order to draft DeCastro, Sign Nicks, Sign Saturday for 2 years, Sign Finnegan, Re-sign Spencer and Robinson. Fiammeta also, but he should come cheap.
Getting these OL candidates allows for the young guys we have now to provide tremendous depth which is so, so important. Almost as important as having quality starters.
CB in 2nd round, and hell, maybe 3rd round too.
A big space eating NT would also help or at least more 4 man fronts.
Alternately, I could handle it if we drafted Kirkpatrick and did the same FA signings, and let our other guys battle it out for the vacant DeCastro spot. I don’t think Kirkpatrick is a bad kid and sounds like “he goes about it the right way” on the field and in practice. I think Kirkpatrick could make it as a FS if corner doesn’t pan out so that automatically increases the safeness of the pick. I know me must not assume a bigger corner can automatically make a safety but something tells me this kid could do it if he had to.
And the Jenkins guy...
He’s gotten in too much trouble already without having a million dollars in his pocket, not caring if he pisses away a bright future. Double assault charges. Double Marijuana charges. Not signs of somebody that learns from mistakes. Too much trouble to get in to in Dallas after dark and the D media loves every minute of it.
if Couples is at 14
you take him…
Same with Kirkpatrick(who could move to Safety IMO)
My board Pre Combine:
Couples
Kirkpatrick
DeCastro
Ingram
Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

Now, if somebody doesn’t agree with that, that’s cool. I also don’t agree with the fact that I don’t have $10 million in my bank account. But the fact that I don’t agree with it doesn’t make it any less true.

I’d switch Dre with DeCastro, but all 4 will be fits for us and at least one of them should be there when we pick.
by StarloverinWNC on Feb 8, 2012 11:19 PM CST up reply actions
well the top three are basically interchangeable for me
the biggest reason Coples and Dre are ahead of Decastro for me is versatility. Both are players that can move to a different position(DE/OLB for Coples and Safety/CB for Dre)
Decastro while he will probably be a really good guard is just that…a guard…I don’t see him as either a C or an OT….
I value versatility higher than others(IMO), thus Dre and Couples get the higher ranking….this may change after the combine though

Good read
I’d love one of the OLB guys, but I’m not terribly sold on any of them. I’d take a big physical CB any day, I think Dre is gonna be special in the right scheme and Rob likes versatile players, with Dre’s size he could play some safety, not saying change his position all together but he could definitely move around. Plus since he excels in zone facing the QB/ball is a strength, I bet he’d be damn good at FS. I like Jenkins’ ability to cover it’s hard to deny him, guess it’s up to the front office to do their due diligence.
Awesome post!
This just shows how excited I am that we have the pick at 14. It seems no matter who we pick, they can come in and contribute immediately hopefully. Like everyone else here is saying, we have to wait for free agency to see who is the most likely to be drafted by our boys.
2 problems we have concerning our D Line
since we play a 3-4 we don`t expect or get a lot of QB pressure.
We need pressure to come mainly from the OLB, Ware and Spencer but only Ware is consistent at it
Spencer is a free agent and he just finished his contract yr meaning we have just witnessed his ceiling…you wanna reward him with a long term contract?
We are technically a 3-4, but in function we are playing what resembles a 4-3 one gap type of system.
So Spencer plays more coverage and contain then pass rusher only after he has handled his primary responsibility does he rush the passer.
The $64MM questions
1) In a draft deep in OG and CB, can we defer those selections and address a relatively thin spot early on? Those being pass rush via DE/OLB or S?
2) Alternatively, will there be a compelling BPA at a position of need that is so far superior as to force the selection at #14?
3) Lastly, how does the FA sweepstakes change the landscape of Need or Want? If DAL continues its ‘wait for the market to settle’ approach do we miss out on the entire upper tier of FA’s?
To some extent it’s a numbers game, DAL is faced with a possible retrenchment involving 6 of 22 Starters and several Key Contributors at the next level. Which leads to the last question:
4) Would DAL be better off with a greater number of good but not great players than a couple of elites and a bunch of JAGS?
The last point would argue to trading down to mine more of that OG/CB talent, if we don’t see a clear difference-maker at #14. Needless to say, there are Pros and Cons to each approach. Right now the greater good seems to be served by the greater numbers. The wildly uneven distribution of Talent, aka Stars and Scrubs, has constrained us too long. In a Defensive Secondary where Average represents an upgrade, I’m all for getting us to that level first.
In any case – Fasten your seatbelts, possible turbulence ahead.
'I have wasted Time and Time doth waste me'
Jerry Jones as Richard II - Act 5, Scene 5
All of these guys are great prospects.
But I wonder what Dallas does if say Richardson drops to them, can you pass on an awesome talent like that. Will Dallas go with more of a need say corner or OLB ?
"This team is going to win a Super Bowl at some point. It's going to be exciting when that time comes. And when we look back, we'll know who was on what side of the fence during those tough moments." - Tony Romo
Good thing is that with the double hernia, Barron is likely dropping to the second round
Since he can’t workout or do anything until training camps it is likely he might fall to the second round sometime because of that. Might have a shot to get a really good safety in the second round and end up with two first round prospects again just like we have the last 2 drafts (Bryant & Lee, Smith & Carter)
