Drafted by Cowboys NFL Draft: Day 3 thread

Bruegler

Olatunbosun “Tommy” Akingbesote (ah-KING-bah-so-tay) grew up in District Heights, Md., with his parents (Odun and Arinola). He saw himself as a basketball player before making the switch to football as a junior at Charles Herbert Flowers High, because that was his best chance at a college scholarship. A four-star recruit, Akingbesote received offers from Oklahoma, Texas A&M and others, but he was locked on nearby Maryland because of the coaching staff. He was the second-ranked defensive lineman in Mike Locksley’s 2021 class, behind Chop Robinson.

Akingbesote carries most of his weight in his upper half, and he can dent the depth of the pocket with initial quickness off the snap. He made gradual improvements each season and has yet to play his best football, although he is still connecting the dots — and things won’t slow down in the NFL. Overall, Akingbesote has unquestionable talent, especially for his size, but he was more of a cog in the machine than a difference-maker that jumped off the tape or the stat sheet.
Dart throw. Nothing wrong with that.
 
Love our RB room now. We got two of my guys I been talking about for a month. They just made sense
Considering you think Breece Hall isn’t a starter in the NFL and a complimentary back. Your opinions on RBs shouldn’t even be listened to and I am even more concerned about our rb room now

Pre-Draft Analysis​

Mafah rushed for 2,080 yards and 21 touchdowns over the past two seasons. He's a big, patient runner who follows his blocks and makes late cuts between the tackles. Mafah didn't run at the combine and doesn't appear to have elite top-end speed, but he can break some long runs when gets a seam. He lowers his pads and delivers the blow on contact. In the passing game, Mafah is a reliable checkdown; he has the frame and the strength to develop into a reliable pass blocker. -- Steve Muench

Philadon, let’s be real.

A 23 year Walter Payton could step out of a Time Machine and you’d be worried about the rb room.

Agree. Many are already peeing on the pick but if they go watch his games the guy was a great player. Very durable mostly. A bruiser but DOES have top end speed to score from distance. For a man his size, that's great. He's good in pass pro too. He might push Williams for starting reps. We stole him.
 
Just Hope Jerrah was not just blowing smoke up our arse with regard to WR trade or free agent addition.

Can not stomach the WR by committee behind lamb, will not end well.
What teams drafted one early that could make a veteran expendable?

I don't think Pittsburgh or Denver did, so Pickens and Sutton are probably out.
