Dallas Cowboys Round 6, Pick 213 -Dorian Williams- LB Tulane
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 230
Williams is a rangy linebacker with 4.5 speed, muscular frame, long arms and gigantic hands. He can provide depth at linebacker and special teams.
Tonight was my first viewing of #Tulane LB Dorian Williams and he impressed me big time. Shows natural instincts attacking the line of scrimmage, play recognition and displays some closing speed.

In four seasons at Tulane, he has played over 700 reps on special teams. He doesn’t display the most natural instincts but when he sees a play, he can fly to get in the action.
If he can get stronger, it is possible. He develops into a starter later down the road.
High character kid and respected leader in the locker room.
Dallas Cowboys Round 7, Pick 242 – Elijah Higgins – WR Stanford
Height: 6-3 | Weight: 235
Dallas has been missing a bully receiver since they parted ways with Dez Bryant.
Higgins is a bully. He is a huge wideout measuring 6’3″ and tips the scales at 235 pounds. He is football fast with a 40 time of 4.55.
A natural receiver possessing excellent hands. Snatching balls outside his body.
He will big boy CBs and runs through traffic with the ball in his hands. Has some nuance in his route running, but he can still add more his tree.
A RedZone threat with an extensive catch radius.
Dallas Cowboys Round 7, Pick 246 – Kemari Averett – TE Bethune Cookman
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 260
A player with rare size, length, soft hands, and leaping ability. Those traits are enticing enough to take a chance on this late in the draft.
Another potential RedZone threat who can be a matchup problem at the next level.
A high-risk low reward draft pick with major upside.
