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

How is that in response to me?

He responded to me like I expected dude to be a starter. All I know is he wasn't talking to me lol.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

And he probably always should

Probably but my point is if Tolbert looks better than Gallup he will still start. Just like Noah Brown use to get more reps than Wilson.

I for sure don’t expect that. I’m just saying the 3T spot is open for someone to take. I don’t think this guy is him.

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.

Gallimore has a roster bonus if he makes the team.

As a DT

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

I assumed they're brothers. From what I've found they aren't even related. Go figure.

As a DT

Huge difference improved RAS score when moved inside.

 

[charron]

Can he play LDE too?

 

[DuncanIso]

DL coach was just in the Live Draft show.. basically said Fehoko will be moved to 3T.
Which at his build, only makes sense

Hope they see something.

Kid is ranked too low for a 4th.

Love this pick. Was driving and listening to the FAN. They were all pretty psyched too. The one thing that really stood out was if you combine his sacks and TFLs, he averaged over 2 plays in the backfield per game. That's nuts. I also like that he is a little bigger. Maybe a SDE in the base and a DT in the nickel. Really happy about this one

Not really. Draft grades at this point are so close it's really not worth discussing. This is why every year you hear teams say they had a third round grade on a player they take in the 5th and so on.

Sorry to burst you alls bubble, but this Fehoko guy gives me Anae vibes and will be outta here just as quick as he did. And the talk of moving him inside after adding some weight will hinder him even more. What a wasted pick, another one.

Anae never had this going for him:

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Yeah I haven’t seen enough to call him a lock.

I have seen enough that a 4th round pick is not going to unseat him.

Doesn't burst my bubble. You are clearly going by emotion a opposed to reason. You picked the last DE to fail and shoehorned this guy into that. Common but not very conclusive.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Anae never had this going for him:

Also Anae was taken 50 picks later than Fehoku.

 

[atlantacowboy]

I guess you can never have too many Fehoko's on your team

Also, and I'm sure someone said this, but just in case, they said he is related to Vita Vea

 

[TheFinisher]

I’m good with this pick. We were BAD at setting the edge on run plays last year. He’s a power base end, with potential to eventually bulk up and kick inside.

As good as the defense has been the last 2 years, DQ is clearly not satisfied and is trying to make this until more physically imposing up front.

Guilt by association is a very real thing around here.

 

[glimmerman]

guess you can never have enough edge rushers. Must have been BPA..
