Sam Cowart Scouting Report

Strengths: Great insticts, should be a great influence on E.J. Henderson, played well last year before knee injury. Takes great angles. Good enough range. Quick Feet. Powerful Hitter.

Weaknesses:Durablity, injuries have taken away his speed. Can get manhandled at times by lineman.

Overall: I think Cowart has the ability to upgrade the Vikings LB core, and be an average to above-average starter. He should also be a good presence on some of their younger linebackers. The Jets were going to get rid of him because of an excessive contract. They weren't going to get a better player with the pick, they had.

Overall-I give the move a thumbs up. Great week for the Vikings with 4 additions in the last 7 days in Sharper, Taylor, Johnson, and Cowart that are going to help this team win games.
