Aaron Donald says he would love to play for the “Cowboys”
Given the Cowboys’ need on the defensive line and Donald’s production on the field, it makes sense for the team to take Aaron Donald if he is available. The former Pittsburgh defensive tackle who had 26.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks in 2013 would be a perfect fit and he would love to play for America’s team.
“I would love to play for anyone, but it would be great to play for them,” Donald said over the weekend of playing for the Cowboys. “I love the way they play up front. They let their three-tech just go attack.”
Now the question is whether Donald could be around when the Cowboys make the 16th pick in the draft. He might have done too well in a way, but there will be some teams that will knock him for his height even though he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.68 seconds. He bench-pressed 225 pounds 35 times. He had a 32-inch vertical jump. He had a nine-feet, three-inch broad jump. He had a 7.11-second time in the three-cone drill.
“Thinking about it ain’t going to get me no taller,” Donald said.
The Cowboys need impact players from this draft. Donald could be their best bet.
“I feel I can make an impact right away,” Donald said. “Earn the trust from the coaches, learn the playbook, get on the field right away and make an impact, earn the respect of the vets and try to get out there and win games with them.”
This would be a can’t miss pick for the Cowboys in my opinion.
