Drafted by Cowboys 3rd Round - Pick 90 - LB Demarvion Overshown (Texas)

[unionjack8]

Not so fast...he has natural speed and good skills that are very useable in the NFL

I mean that I doubt he'll see the field much , mainly st imo

ModEdit: Added highlight video ..

Hookem fits perfectly into DQ defense hes a hybrid type like a bigger Kearse/Wilson can be SS or LB, hopefully hes better than Cox who was supposed to assume that roll.

 

[blueblood70]

They picked this kid over the cornerbacks.

we have ton of DBS on this roster already young guys in the mix..and??

 

[Aven8]

I read he said DQ plans to start him at Will LB.

 

[BARRYRAY]

He Jerry Jones grandkids room mate at Texas all you need to know. It is not always what you know but who you know.

I think we need another outside corner of Kearse’s replacement. Obviously they are giving Joseph and Wright one more chance.

our starters are set Gilmore, diggs, and bland , wright and KJ sure get another chance but Izzy can play corner as well. we can alsys draft another next year or get a Vet FA .. no need to panic over a backup not taken.
fans are nevr happy last year all we heard was historically bad offseason the draft were all reaches etc etc all the way until 12-5 2nd round of playoffs.. come on please you all need to stop. Want to debate the choices wait 1-3 seasons we can then judge the draft.

tyler and sam were a lot better then fan advertised.

I just feel a corner has better value. I hope the Texas kid can play. Just would like another corner. Can’t have enough.

McCarthy compared Overshown’s play style to starting safety Donovan Wilson.

“That’s what you’re looking for as a coach,” he said. “That type of energy and impact. (To get him) in the third round, that was big.”

“When you talk about looking for a player at the linebacker position and what it takes to play linebacker in our defense, and in the NFL,” Cowboys vice president of player personnel Will McClay explained, “you have to cover running backs, you got to cover tight ends, you got to be able to blitz and you got to be able to play all over the field. We play with two linebackers most of the time now with the sub defenses, so they have to do a number of different things, and you also have to be able to contribute on fourth down, and love to play the game. You watch this dude play, you turn on the tape, it shows he loves to play the game of football.”

The Eagles made a bunch of trades. They grabbed a whole bunch of Georgia players on defense. To be honest teammates in college seem to have problems as pros together. We will see.

Strange pick.....tweener.

Kearses’ eventual replacement. The plan probably is to get him up to speed on the game plan once Kearse moves on.

 

[BobSacamano]

Disturbing.

Haha

 

[Trajan]

Love this pick, UT baby !

 

[HowardC]

Not a good one!

He was starting as a rookie. As if he won't improve.

 

[_sturt_]

Believe Overshown ends up as our only 30 visit guy that we actually drafted, unless I missed something (?).

 

[Carter]

Cool dude

 

[maryquality]

I'm so happy for Overshown!!! Hook'em!!! Such a nice young man!!

Spaulding, Jerry’s fuzzy headed grandson, was behind this pick. Yes, I am serious. He’s finally starting his hostile takeover from Jerry and Stephen.
