one interesting OT pout there

Pre-Draft Analysis
Adams gets into position and walls off defenders in the run game. He does an adequate job of climbing up to the second level and covering up linebackers. He's quick, long and wide enough to handle speed off the edge when his technique is sound. His initial hand placement tends to be strong, but there's room for improvement when it comes his overall hand-to-hand combat skills. -- Steve Muench

I think Connor Williams is going to end up your swing OT

Is Matt Rhule picking for the Vikings? Lynch and now Harrison Hand. Would have known Gladney from TCU too...

Pre-Draft Analysis
Anae is a tactician with a nonstop motor rushing the passer. He's a solid hand fighter with an effective inside move. He shoots his hands inside and flashes the ability to stack bigger blockers as a run-defender. He's a team captain and overachiever with below-average size, short arms and marginal top-end speed. -- Steve Muench

Another great pick

PROS: High-effort competitor that makes his share of plays simply because of hustle. Attacks the neutral zone with urgency. Has some impressive reps of outstanding snap anticipation and fluid releases out of his stance, that are capable of drawing offensive tackles quickly out of their foot cadence. Initial burst is excellent. Showcases good variety with his hand usage and occasionally times up a perfectly executed cross/chop and club/rip combos that wonderfully complements his initial quickness off the ball. Competes hard for his gap as a run defender and mostly holds his own exchanging power in the trenches when setting the edge. Some really good reps of gap-shooting against the run which accentuates his burst, motor and play strength.

CONS: Short arms and they are a problem on tape. Has difficulty playing with extension and clearing contact with any sort of consistency. Tightly wound frame presents challenges when he needs to reduce his surface area and corner the outside edge track. His stiffness combined with a lack of length, keeps him velcroed to blockers. Utah had him play in space quite a decent amount and he was super calculated and lacked comfort. Reps where he had to tackle in space were embarrassing and he looked like a fish out of water in coverage drops. Linear athlete. Explosive releases don't result in continued burst up the arc. Almost always played outside the left tackle. Dynamic physical traits and athleticism are lacking.

BEST TRAIT - Effort

WORST TRAIT - Length

RED FLAGS - None

NFL COMP - John Simon
Bradlee Anae has been a productive defender for Utah across the last three seasons while rarely coming off the field. Given the volume of snaps he was on the field, his unrelenting effort is that much more impressive. While Anae isn't without some technical refinement with his hands, he's largely an effort player who wins with urgency, hustle and physicality. With that said, his stiff frame, lack of length and modest non-straight line mobility does present some restrictions at the next level. Anae has a role serving as a rotational base end in a 4-3 alignment, but he lacks the dynamic traits to project him to be an impact starter.

since we dont know about Gregory or Smith, its a need.

I'll trust your judgement.

About all you can ask for this late in the draft. Everyone will have some major issues at this point. Lack ideal size, speed, arm length, flexibility, agility... OR have most of those as pluses but crappy production.

to me, the biggest attribute at this point of the draft is a high-rev motor. If you have that, coaches tend to work with you more

what was the deal with the 'America's Got Talent meets the Brady Bunch?'

Some of the Cowboys' top Day 3 picks since Will McClay started running their draft:

2019: Tony Pollard, 4th round
2017: Xavier Woods, 6th round
2016: Dak Prescott, 4th round
2016: Anthony Brown, 6th round
2015: Damien Wilson, 4th round
2014: Anthony Hitchens, 4th round

how about this kid, Anthony Gordon, QB from Wash State

Gordon battled Gardner Minshew for the Cougars' starting quarterback job before the 2018 season but came up short to the eventual NCAA leader in passing yards. He stuck with head coach Mike Leach, however, despite having to wait three years (redshirt in 2016, did not play in 2017) for the starting role he earned in 2019. Gordon was named second-team All-Pac-12 after leading the country with 689 pass attempts, 493 completions (ranking fourth in the FBS with a 71.6 completion percentage) and finishing second to Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow for the national lead in passing yards (5,579) and touchdowns (48, with 16 interceptions) in 13 starts.

A nugget of knowledge...

Ex-James Madison DE Ron'Dell Carter has agreed to contract with Cowboys, per @NFLAgentAdam. Team made an aggressive financial pursuit to fend off other clubs. Carter had 66 tackles, 27 for loss and 12 sacks in 2019. Cowboys drafted JMU teammate QB Ben DiNucci in seventh round.
