Part two of my post Senior Bowl chat with the National Football Post's Wes Bunting covers West Virginia end Bruce Irvin, a Cowboys player of interest who went missing in Mobile.
Cowboys Nation: Early in the week, you tweeted about Bruce Irvin . You said 3-4 teams were asking where he was. What happened to him?
Wes Bunting: He was never invited. That's what I'm hearing. I don't know why, or what happened.
CN: So everything is riding on this guy's Combine, and pro day?
WB: I talked to a number of scouts, and all these 3-4 teams were angry. They wanted to see this guy play. I was telling you I thought this was where he could come down and dominate, especially on the North squad where the offensive tackles were so bad. And now? We'll see. I had to lower my grade a bit because there are question marks. I told you this was what I planned. I floated him and was going to adjust based on how he played in Mobile, and now I have to drop him because there are questions of how he fits in a 3-4 scheme as an outside linebacker.
We'll see him at the Combine, but he's a 2nd-3rd round guy now. There was a buzz about him among the scouts. They were asking why he wasn't invited, and then a linebacker dropped out and they brought in Demario Davis, who I like a lot, but I would rather have seen Bruce Irvin.
