Edge

Donovan Ezeiruaku

Boston College

Drafted: Round 2, No. 44 overall

Like we just discussed with Abdul Carter, Ezeiruaku walks into an advantageous environment. Sharing the field with perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons, the rookie is set to receive favorable matchups — and he has the pass-rushing arsenal to take advantage of them. With pterodactyl length and hair-on-fire spirit, Ezeiruaku explodes off the snap with a quick first step, often allowing him to get the edge and bend to the quarterback. If the pure speed rush doesn’t work, no worries: The dude knows how to use his hands, and he has a full bag of tricks that range from a spin to a Euro step to a pretty wicked ghost move. So, why did he last until midway through the second round? Well, he’s on the lighter side, naturally raising concerns about how he’ll set the edge against NFL blockers. But the Boston College product is poised to rack up the kind of sexy stats that garner recognition, having finished last season at second in the FBS in sacks (16.5) and third in tackles for loss (20.5).

he is going to be a stud, I can see his future career being better than DLaw.

I think hes going to be a baller. Need to get him signed but that's a league wide issue with the second rounders all holding out together to get as 5th year guarantee like the 1st roundrs

If he comes in and has a big impact rookie year I don’t think you guys realize how huge that is for this team.

Very huge.... Could change the outlook of the season off the bat.

 

[slick325]

I hope he comes in and makes an instant impact.

 

[DeaconMoss]

One of my fav picks in years. Eze put some NFL bulk on he could be scary. I see Von Miller.

It really could.

 

[pitt33]

The defense needs him to ball out.

 

[Risen Star]

Cowboys Legend Donovan Ezeiruaku.

Instigator.

So they're paying close attention to the second-round pick? You don't say.

Brilliant reporting on display. LOL

Dwight Freeney is what I see. Easily my favorite draft pick.

Just curious, but what’s the reason why you crapped on this thread?

 

[JayFord]

Just imagine he comes In and does a bang up job

Which means teams can’t double Micah

Now with Mazi coming into his own and either pushing the pocket or commanding a double team ?

With Sam Williams and Dante Fowler bringing depth?

Y’all realize the offense could be facing fresh well rested pass rushers all 4 quarters

 

[plasticman]

He will be one of three DEs drafted in the 2nd round over the past four seasons.

I don't see him starting this season. As an undersized rookie DE, how could he not be a detriment in the area where the Cowboys need the most improvement?

I see Kneeland and Williams getting more snaps this season with Eze coming in on passing downs.

I think Eze's breakout swill be in 2026.

That’s a low bar. DLaw had 2 good years. That is it. A very overrated player around here.

I'm a huge fan of guys who come into the league with a versatile toolbox for certain positions. I was impressed watching Eze film and I believe he'll get his reps in passing situations. Eze is basically the same size as Von Miller, so yeah I'm not concerned about his size.

They are in great shape on obvious passing downs. Fowler is also there, as well the best rusher in the league….just have to get themselves into a spot where that’s the case.

Routine 2nd and 3-4 isn’t gonna get that done.

Here’s my view…DE already knows the tricks of the trade. He dominates on technique not an explosive first step. That bodes well. Real well.
