Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys Select DT Joey Ivie - Round 7 (228th overall)

[Carson]

Honestly, I'll be pleasantly shocked and surprised if he ever plays a down for us

He will. He will be the new Nick Hayden to stick around for several years

 

[Screw The Hall]

... camp body

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Yeah, but far far from the best available, which is what they should do in the 7th rd..

At this point best available is sooooooo subjective. Not sure if Rico Gathers was the best available, but at that point in the draft, take guys with traits you think you can develop

 

[CCBoy]

...a trash can full of dirt.

 

[Gaede]

These are the picks I love. Intrigued by this guy

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

 

[CATCH17]

Wasted pick imo.

No real upside at all.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

6 career starts, very weak. Yawn

6 sacks in the last 2 years. For a 7th rounder, i'll take it.

Wasted pick imo.

No real upside at all.

Which is being said by other fans about their 7th round picks.

It's the 7th round, folks. most won't pan out, however, saying this guy has no upside is ridiculous. From what I've seen, he gets good pressure on the QB.

You're drafting traits at this point, not finished products, and hope your coaching staff can unearth an NFL quality player. I know nothing about this guy but he must have something for Marinelli to believe he has a chance.

 

[darthseinfeld]

PS guy. See of he develops. If not no biggie

While Ivie didn’t have the most illustrious career at Florida, he was undoubtedly a difference maker. During his senior season, he made 26 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, 6.0 quarterback hurries, a forced fumble and a blocked kick, all while battling through a nagging thumb injury.

At Florida’s pro day, Ivie put up some relatively impressive stats. He ran his 40-yard dash in 4.97 seconds, bench-pressed 225 pounds 26 times, had a 29.5 inch vertical and ran a 20-yard shuttle in 4.50 seconds. Even though he wasn’t invited to the 2017 NFL Combine, this would have put Ivie right in the middle of just about every category for defensive tackles.

What upside did you expect for a 7th rounder?

 

[CATCH17]

What upside did you expect for a 7th rounder?

A player with high physical traits that good coaching could develop into something.

 

[Ring Leader]

Ivie could poison this draft.

BOTTOM LINE
Ivie doesn't have the power or mass to handle run-stopping duties at the point of attack and he is lacking the length teams want from 3-4 defenders. Ivie is a try-hard player who can eventually work himself into a favorable position, but he lacks the desired traits to produce on the pro level.

RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!

Relax guys, he's a developmental guy. Although predicted as an UDFA, the Boys obviously wanted the first shot at him.....

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

A player with high physical traits that good coaching could develop into something.

What physical traits aren't high in your opinion for a 7th rounder? A practice squad guy too.

 

[Cowboys_22]

Trusting in the FO, good pick

Go Cowboys!

 

[CATCH17]

What physical traits aren't high in your opinion for a 7th rounder?

For this player? All of them.
