3Josey Jewell – 6’1, 236 lbs, Iowa (Brugler: 65th, 2nd ILB)
Jewell is ranking third in the country with 125 tackles with an average of 11.4 tackles per game, and he is a very productive player with highest football IQ of all the linebackers in this class. His weakness (if we can call it like that) is the fact that he is a bit undersized, but he balances that by not playing with any limitations and hard working. Thanks to that and his incredible awareness and vision, Jewell was a three-year starter and captain. This guy knows how to make plays on the ball, and thanks to that he managed to defend 26 passes while snagging six interceptions. He is not an eye-popping athlete, but he’s a leader on and off the field, which can sometimes be more important.
Place where the Cowboys can get him – Late second to middle of the third round.
