Cowboys Eyeing CJ Allen in NFL Draft

About this episode

Dallas Cowboys Eyes on Georgia Linebacker CJ Allen in NFL Draft

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly considering trading back from the twentieth pick in the NFL draft to secure Georgia linebacker CJ Allen, who is ranked third at his position. Allen, who underwent knee surgery, impressed at his pro day with a four-point-four-six forty-yard dash. He had an outstanding season at Georgia, recording eighty-eight tackles, eight for loss, three and a half sacks, and four passes knocked down. Allens SEC experience, leadership, and versatility make him an ideal fit for the Cowboys linebacker spot, which lacks a clear starter and a green-dot wearer. His elite run defense, solid pass rush, and speed across the field further solidify his potential as a perfect addition to the Cowboys without reaching early in the draft. Trading back would also provide the Cowboys with extra picks, ensuring a strong future for the team.

On April 16, Dallas Cowboys got their eyes on Georgia linebacker CJ Allen in this NFL draft. Buzz from Tony Pauline says they might trade back from the 20th pick to Snagham, the number three guy at his position behind those Ohio State. Studs, he's rising fast after knee surgery. Allen blew a bet his pro day, clocking a 4.46 in the 40 yard dashway, better than expected for a guy just months off the operating table. Last season at Georgia, he racked up 88 tackles, eight for loss, three and a half sacks, and four passes knocked down. Cowboys fans know the linebacker spot is hurting. No clear starter next to Demarvian overshown, and nobody wearing that green die for calls. Allen's got SEC experience, led his squad, and already handled that role. His tape shows elite run defense at 90.8 on profile ball focus, solid pass rush at 72.1 and speed to cover the whole, field. Perfect fix without reaching early.

Trading back lands, Allen plus extra picks, smarter than pushing up for pricier options, keeps Dallas stacked for the long haul.
