Drafted by Cowboys 4th Round - Pick 129 - Edge Viliami Fehoko Jr (San Jose State)

[TheMarathonContinues]

Lol cmon man.

A lock to start is what I mean. I just think he’s a jag honestly.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I don’t think he’s a lock. Lock to make the team but not a lock to start if someone outplays him.

No one is a lock to start if someone outplays them

Fehoko doesn't stand out athletically. His 5.36 relative athletic score is only slightly above average compared to every defensive end prospect with testing numbers since 1987, per Kent Lee Platte of Pro Football Network. However, his three-cone (5.85 seconds) and 40-yard dash (4.77 seconds) suggest he's athletic enough to play in the league.

Production-wise, Fehoko improved every year at San Jose State. He dominated with a career-high 19 tackles for loss and nine sacks in his final year with the Spartans. He received an elite 90.9 grade from Pro Football Focus with 66 pressures.

Another three cone standout. I read he was at 282 during pro day, which I believe he didnt participate in due to injury.

I agree with the 3T talk. He has the lower body and length to easily get to that 295-300 range in short order.

Does seem to be similar to Gholsten though. It'll be interesting to see who he ends up replacing.

NFL DraftBuzz lists Viliami Fehoko as having accrued 12 sacks this past 2022 season where he was a 5th year senior.

I gotcha. I think he's better than a jag tho but I gotcha

Looks like a more athletic version of Tyrone Crawford to me. Not real fast or explosive but very smooth, relentless, and looks like he uses his hands well to get off blocks.

Bulking him up into a 3-T looks like a great plan.

Meaning Gholston experiment has failed , replacing either Gallimore or Gholston with this pick .

I like this pick, wouldve taken Trice here but I like this guy. He is not freakish athlete but he finds the ball and has good awareness.

How many locks to start do you find in round 4 ? The question is can you find a role for this player ? A power guy that appears to be a top end run defender.

Viliami Fehoko doesn't have great combine drill numbers, but he sure can play. Average skills but definitely a results player on the field.

Not freakish for DE, but very good numbers for DT if he can maintain it while bulking up.

I wouldnt expect much from him this year while he bulks up. Dont be surprised if he mysteriously gets injured in tc and is on IR for the year.

2 Fehoko's on one team, what are the odds of that happening?

About the same odds as both of them making the roster...

Gholston graded well last year in limited time. Gallimore is the one with the bullseye

 

[kevm3]

How much better does replacing Gallimore with this guy make us?

Gallimore is due bonus money if he makes the 53 in September. Buh-Bye Galli we never knew ya don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

Oh for sure they are. Zeke was starting over Pollard regardless. Gallup will always start over Tolbert.

How is that in response to me?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I gotcha. I think he's better than a jag tho but I gotcha

I think he could be. I guess what I’m saying is do I see him as a starting 3T for a championship defense? Not right now. He seems like a part time player but I hope for the best.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Let me ask you a question. I look at ESPN rankings he's not even in the next 5 or 6 for defensive end rankings so are the Cowboys seeing something that scouts or etc. are not ?

At this point it's more about scheme fit.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Gallup will always start over Tolbert.

And he probably always should
