The 2017 Reese’s Senior Bowl is in the bag and the game did not disappoint. Even though the game did not carry any big names at quarterback or offensive tackle, the game had some playmakers.
The Cowboys need more playmakers, especially on defense. We saw some players who had solid practices that were able to translate it to the game.
These are the guys that caught my eye as I saw the game live:
1st half standouts
OJ Howard, TE, Alabama
Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina
Derek Rivers, DE, Youngstown State
Lorenzo Jerome, CB, St. Francis; INT, strip fumble
Josh Reynolds, WR, Texas A&M
Fred Ross, WR, Mississippi State
North Tackles not doing well.
=========
2nd half standouts
Derek Rivers, DE, Youngstown State
Obi Melifonwu, S, UConn
Montravius Adams, DT, Auburn
Tonah Kpassagnon, DE, Villanova
Deionta Davis, DE, Chattanooga
Lorenzo Jerome, CB, St. Francis; INT, strip fumble, another INT
Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo
Dion Dawkins, OT, Temple
Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina, TD
Davis Webb, QB, California
Defensively, players that I believe could contribute to the Cowboys would Derek Rivers, Obi Melifonwu, Montravius Adams, Deionta Davis.
Offensively, I really like WR Zay Jones and RB Kareem Hunt. These two guys can come in here an compete and possibly fill-in for outgoing free agents. Hunt was solid in practice and wowed during the game. He is an instant upgrade over Lance Dunbar. He’ll catch, block, and hit the hole with speed. Zay Jones impressed me with the talent that was out there. We’ll see how he does over the course of draft season.

Stephen Jones and Will McClay were onsite and there were defensive players that can come in here and upgrade the defense. If you missed that video where Stephen talks about fixing the defense via the draft, click play below.
