This is from McGinn's rankings of the LBs.

7. LOGAN WILSON, Wyoming (6-2, 238, 4.60, 3): Wilson is just the second player in the Cowboys’ history to be a three-time captain. “Really productive almost every game you put on,” one scout said. “He’s a good athlete, and he’s got prototypical NFL size. He’s got an ability to take on and use his hands. He sees the game pretty quickly.” That personnel man viewed Wilson as a starter with a chance to play every snap given pro experience. “He’s a sleeper almost, if you will,” said another scout. “He’s really good. He’s not a physical tackler, but he is tough, big and strong. He does enough of everything that matters.” He started 52 games, finishing with 421 tackles (35 for loss), seven sacks, 10 interceptions and 24 passes defensed. “Nice feel for the game,” said a third scout. “Can break down and make space tackles. Can run and cover ground.” Wilson posted a Wonderlic of 16 and is from Casper, Wyo.

I wouldn't be devastated if we take him at 33, but I'd be disappointed.

Just watched his highlight footage with game announcers.  
He busts his butt every play
He makes tackles sideline to sideline
He makes huge 3rd and 4th down stops
He makes tackles at linebacker area to DB area
He gets to players in backfield for losses.
He makes turnovers.
Announcers said he is a MACHINE
Announcers om his tackles saying, " Who Else, it is Brooks Again ".

If this Linebacker falls to Bengals at top of 2,  He will bust his butt for the team and MAKE TACKLE after TACKLE.
A TACKLING MACHINE

No falling at this pick for him. He’s not close to a first round prospect.

I like him but at pick 33 I’ll be really upset. Drew sample 2.0

1.  33 should get you a leftover top 20 bpa with the normal reaches and need picks.  Brooks is not that player, other players have a better resume. 

2.  While we're greatful for the FA changes that we were wrong about, we had a right to be critical out the gate.  The Sample pick happened.  It's hard not to see how a one dimensional TE in an offense we were sold on not prioritizing TE was the best use with the other guys there.  

It screams targeting a lesser player and not being able to deal down or overvaluing the loss of Sample if he isn't there in the 3rd.  33 is a great opportunity, one where we can't have a Sample reboot.  Nothing against the man, prove us all wrong but hopefully it's a lesson they can learn from as they have in FA already.
