Drafted by Cowboys No. 137 pick - Alabama Edge Rusher LT Overton

[CATCH17]

DLaw vibes........
* Experience will clean up a lot of the con/neg stuff

Perfect 3/4 end prospect & maybe some nickel 3 technique work.

 

[America's Cowboy]

If he ends up better than Mazi Smith (1st round pick), makes the 53 and gets some playing time as a 4th, I will take him.

But if he doesn't even make the 53 player roster, then LT Overton was a wasted 4th round pick.

We get brooks after this draft and this defense is going to turn heads in a positive way

What are we giving up for Brooks? We don’t have a 4th or 5th next year.

Big Dog Cowboy before he looks up Overton

first Meh pick,dude will be lucky to make the 53.

Feels like a PS guy.

I think picking up Dee winters in the way this draft went I don't think they're interested anymore they think they could they offered a 3rd for guy which was more than adequate and they turned it down so yeah they came to us now I wouldn't offer them much have to now be a late 4th or a 5th next year.. But there's guys on free agent list like Wagner, Devon White ,and Okareke it that we just pick up without wasting a pick if they want some more veteran press for depth..

I think also people don't realize they're really good at the underage free agents left in the draft that went undrafted plus the guys take a cake from the UFLI mean they're not done yet there's 20 holes to figure out how to fill too but there other couple options out there now I think the Dolphins turning to third was stupid and now the Cowboys are probably not interested not for that anyway..

Comon' AC. Put him on the PS and see what 2027 brings.

 

[75boyz]

Yeah I'm Roll Tide, this pick/player is underwhelming.

LT is a solid pickup with 1st round buzz before the combine. Test numbers aren't great but production/ body of work is there while playing inthe SEC and will be a nice addition to solidify this defense line as a rotational piece and potentially starter later down the road.

Bama's Dline play has took a dip in production post Saban but LT & Tim Keenan were the only ones who played with a pulse on a consistent level.

No complaints with this pick

 

[CowboyChris]

Full name is Lawrence Taylor Overton.

that changes everything

Love this selection. It’s not just about sacks; there were years when Haley only had 9 sacks but was disruptive throughout the season. This guy is violent.

Bottom line, you need various types in this new breed of 3-4. The lean, long pass rushers need to give way to the Gary’s and Overtons in short yardage and goal line.

This is not going to be the boring read and react defense. CP is going to be attacking in waves from all positions and keeping guys fresh. I can’t wait to see these young guys in preseason.

GOOD POST, this is a good value pick LT Overton was listed as a 2nd round prospect; I like it Alabama produces some of the best trench players in all of college football. This is a solid pick that might contribute this season as a solid backup on this defensive line.

 

[Carson]

Yeah I was about to say his numbers his RAS score is pretty bad lol. I wonder what is the plan with him. Maybe have him put on 20 lbs and move him to the defensive line?

He plays defensive line lol. Hes a 3-4 end

Sadly I think Miami wants a 2027 2nd round pick for him. Especially from Dallas.

Pre-draft publications had Overton has a 3rd round pick. The combine testing torpedoed his stock.

But if you are looking for a guy that does the dirty work against the run, here he is. If you are looking for big splash plays, he's not your guy.

Lol, he is a lock to make the 53.

 

[FVSTONE]

Can be fooled with misdirection plays?????? OH NO, that went on nonstop with the Boys last season!

 

[CT Dal Fan]

To those wondering his full name is Lebbeus Thomas Overton.

No clue, the front office can figure that out, wouldn’t give more than a 3

He is Keldric Faulk basically and we got him in the 4th round.

Exactly. All he has to do is beat out Jay Toia.
