Shows you how long Odighizuwa’s arms are... they are an eighth of an inch longer than this guys, lol.

Mukuamu is a very solid pick at this point. He’s a matchup player if he’s good enough to stick. His (and Wright’s) length is just crazy to have in a defensive backfield.

Camp will be interesting.

Huge ball hawk CB

Can’t say the Cowboys haven’t zeroed in on what they are looking for at CB and done everything they can to find them.

Did someone say “Cowboys should focus on defense”?
Yeah you can what about kelvin joseph?

According to Locked On Cowboys, Mukaumu was considered a better prospect than Horn prior to 2020, with Kiper calling him a 1st rounder. He also graded out better than Horn in all three seasons they were together.

What the heck happened in 2020 to change things?

I like the pick. Would be surprised if he ever starts but i could see him growing into the role Byron played as a rookie where he's our TE / big slot eraser. A guy in that role may not see many snaps for a few games in a row but then see starter level snaps in a game where the matchup dictates it. If he could do that, provide depth and be a solid special teams guy then that's a good 6th round pick.

He actually graded out higher than Horn according to the Cowboys Beat Podcasters.

They also said he's an awesome kid and was a leader in the locker room. His coaches credit him for being a big part of their culture change.

Listening to his interviews its hard not to like this kid and have high expectations for him.

It's only a short matter of time before the roster list this guy as a Safety.
