At this point, Hall is a great pick and offers incredible value. He has great size at 6-1 and 200 pounds and is able to play in man coverage while also offering good run support. This past season, he missed some time which hurts his stock but when he was healthy, he showed great ball skills according to Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network — and we know this is something Dallas needs out of their defensive backs.
"“Bryce Hall projects favorably as a starter at the NFL level, but he’s going to be a scheme specific prospect who must be given the opportunity to develop in press man or be tasked with playing primarily Cover 3 as a deep third perimeter defender. Hall’s ball skills and ability to set the edge against the run offer him plus qualities in both phases of the defense and he’s an intelligent defender with strong anticipation, which helps him to mask functional movement restrictions.” — Crabbs, The Draft Network"
He might not be a starter from day one but Hall could develop into one quickly and should they be able to add him and Xavier McKinney in this draft, the secondary would inspire much more confidence than it does right now.
