Player Bio

It wasn't that long ago that Cedrick Wilson, Sr. was playing in the NFL -- the former Tennessee receiver played for seven years in the league, being drafted in 2001 in the sixth round by San Francisco and winning a Super Bowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now his son is heading towards a pro career. Cedrick, Jr., was an All-State pick in Tennessee as a quarterback before heading to Coffeyville Community College for two seasons. He was All-Conference as a freshman there and an All-American as a sophomore with 66 catches for 1,045 yards and 17 touchdowns. Wilson didn't take long to fit in with the Broncos, earning honorable mention All-Mountain West honors as a receiver (56 receptions, 1,129 yards, led team with 11 touchdowns) while also contributing as a punt returner (10 returns, 132 yards, long of 73 yards) in his junior campaign. His senior season was even better, earning first-team All-Conference recognition by leading BSU with 83 receptions and 1,511 yards, scoring seven times. He presents the height, hands, body control, footwork, and open-field agility to succeed as a starter at the next level.

Analysis

Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5

NFL Comparison
Johnny Holton

Overview
Wilson is a former high school quarterback with just four years of experience as a receiver including two on a major college level. He showed improvement from his junior to senior season and should continue to get better with more coaching and experience. Wilson has the potential to be a quality backup who might find time in three wideout sets. Teams may choose to use him as a big slot option with the potential to challenge on all three levels.

Strengths

• Comes from football bloodline
• Possesses good height and exudes confidence game-in and game-out
• Can work outside or from slot
• Nuanced route runner
• Changes speeds inside his route to open doors for separation
• Disguises route intentions underneath and on deep outs with strong vertical push
• Able to coax off-man corners to open hips early
• Has build-up speed with an extra gear when tracking the deep ball
• Saw 26 percent of his catches go for 25-plus yards
• Athletic and competitive with ball in his hands
• Used on all three levels
• High school quarterback who completed all four career pass attempts on gadget plays
• Can compete as kick and punt returner

Weaknesses

• Is a step slow into his routes off the snap
• Had issues finding clean releases against aggressive press
• Likely to see immediate, physical challenges off the snap as a pro
• Won't always keep feet under him which caused occasional stumbles at the top of his routes
• Ball skills and hand-eye coordination are average
• Is a little tardy in making adjustments to off-target deep balls
• Below average finishing challenging catches outside his frame
• Won't have a highlight reel filled with circus catches

Sources Tell Us

"They like him inside his building. He's a worker and he doesn't take anything for granted because he had to work his way into this position. He's self made. I go to bat for those guys because they never let you down due to football character." -- AFC team area scout

Our last pick will be 236

So we have 2 for sure and up to 4 potential starters out of this draft:

Vander Esch at Mike.
Williams at LG

Gallup in 10 sets
Shultz in 12 sets

Just thinking that with our interior plugged up with Williams, we can run 00 sets too. Or have zeke drop wide

so would it be time to talk to Kenny Vacarro about becoming a Cowboy?

I dont get that. Surely Switzer has more upside. Towards the end of the year he was looking much better

Pre-Draft Analysis

A big back with good top-end speed for his size, Scarbrough runs behind his pads and his balance-on-contact is outstanding. He's a pick-and-slide runner who bounces off a lot of tackles, rarely taking negative runs, and he has shown a nose for the sticks and the end zone, with a high percentage of his carries resulting in first downs or scores.

Cowboys selected Alabama RB Bo Scarbrough with the No. 236 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft.
Scarbrough (6'1/228) was ticketed to succeed Derrick Henry as the Crimson Tide's power back, but fell short of expectations due to injuries. He turned pro after a 267/1,512/20 career rushing line, averaging 5.7 yards per carry with only 21 receptions. Scarbrough fractured his leg at the end of his sophomore season and wasn't nearly as efficient last year. He did test as an 86th-percentile SPARQ athlete with 4.52 speed and a 40-inch vertical at the Combine. Always a talented two-down runner, Scarbrough is arriving to the NFL about a decade late. His ceiling is a committee back and/or short-yardage/goal-line specialist.

I think most around here know what I think of Alabama RBs but given where he was picked and what we will likely ask him to do, which is be a two down sub back, it should be ok. Given his being in a Saban pro system I would think he would have decent pass pro skills but I can't say for certain.

He was a complete zero last year and the muffd punt against the rams was unforgivable. Really happy to see Dallas try to salvage some value from the guy.

Story on Wells and Murphy from SD: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/aztecs/sd-sp-sdsu-david-wells-signs-as-free-agent-with-dallas-cowboys-0429-story.html

Somehow Lazard went undrafted - and then we didnt grab him in UFA;
http://www.kcci.com/article/lazard-surprisingly-undrafted-then-signs-deal/20094879

Rob Phillips: Sometimes staying put is the best course. On Day 2, the Cowboys had cursory discussions about taking wide receiver Michael Gallup at No. 50. They didn't and got him in the third round 31 picks later. Saturday, their first pick in the fourth round Kansas defensive end Dorance Armstrong was a guy they thought about trading up for Friday night late in the third round. They stayed put again and ended up drafting Armstrong, a talented edge rusher who posted 10 sacks two years ago, later than expected. With the extra fourth-rounder they didn't have to give up for Armstrong, the Cowboys selected versatile Stanford tight end Dalton Schultz, who can help replace some of the dirty work James Hanna did for the last several years.

Nick Eatman: My favorite move of the day was obviously the trade for Tavon Austin. Honestly, I like it for a couple of reasons. Those who have heard this once, they've heard it 500 times, but I've openly asked for more speed from the receiver position. Austin can give them that and a little more. He's a unique player with a skill-set that can be productive when put in the right position. I also like this move because I'm a fan of trading for veterans for low-round picks. Yes, I see the value of picks but when you have three in the sixth round, you should do something like this. Two years ago, they used a sixth on a basketball player who hadn't played football since junior high. This time, they're getting a proven player who probably just needs a fresh start. The jet-sweep is now back in the picture, plus a more dynamic punt returner. I think Ryan Switzer is a good, young player but to me, this is an upgrade

David Helman: I'm going to cheat and say that it's not just one move that I loved, but several. Last year, we saw the Cowboys completely revamp their secondary by selecting four defensive backs in the draft. This year, they did the same thing on offense by drafting two wide receivers and trading for another. Drafted 81st overall, Michael Gallup might be good enough to compete for a starting job. Tavon Austin can fill an important role as both a receiver and a running back. Cedrick Wilson isn't a lock to make the roster, but he's certainly going to make a push when training camp starts. The Cowboys' plan is obvious they said they wanted to foster competition at wide receiver, and they are definitely doing that. Allen Hurns signed a $12 million contract, and Gallup was a top 100 pick those two have some job security. Everybody else had better bring their best effort, because this is clearly a team that's trying to improve its receiver corps.

Bryan Broaddus: In every draft there are certain players you want your club to select -- Mike White was that guy for me. There was just something about the way he carried himself on the field. I saw a leader. A guy that stood in the middle of the field, and, no matter what was going on around him, he kept his eyes down the field. I saw him take hits and get right back up and deliver again and again. I saw a guy that played with poise and determination who had the ability to make all the throws. On tape, Mike White was what I wanted my quarterback to be. When it came to the other top quarterbacks in the draft, I didn't feel that his level of play was all that much different. For a position that is one of the most important on the squad, this guy gets it and for that reason I am glad they selected him.

Given the despairing contracts, absolutely. Rookie deal vs millions.

Switz didnt offer a lot in the receiving game but he led the team in kickoff and punt returns. Once he got over the rookie jitters, he was pretty darn dynamic. That 83 yd TD was just the tip of the iceberg.

Guessing they were clearing out some of the overload of WRs. Austin and/or Beaz for punt an KO.

Still wouldnt be surprised to see Beaz traded. Earl?
