Drafted by Cowboys Round 3 pick 87 Dallas Cowboys take LB Marist Liufau Notre Dame

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Odd pick. We're gonna miss on RB barring a trade up

They all seem about equally talented. They don’t even have to take one tbh

 

[Proof]

not pretending i know anything, but these dudes seem to always grab random guys no one is tracking. this guy over willis or gray? im a bit disappointed. why is it every year?

 

[JohnsKey19]

Advanced stats suggest he is a good coverage LB but poor against the run.

 

[MC8828]

Just absolutely absurd pick. This guy is a 5th round at best LB.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Fits a need, but RB is hurting really badly.

Relax, Zeke will be back soon.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Don't tell me they are gonna depend on Zeke to lead the RB group....

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Odd pick. We're gonna miss on RB barring a trade up

Zeke and his 2 yard losses into the back of his OL is all we need!

 

[Redline360]

Don't understand this one.

How ppl can complain about this pick. Just because he was “projected” to go later? Kid seems like the type of physical player this defense needs.

Nobody noticed us getting gashed in the run over the years. This guy…
Kendricks…overshawn already sounding better

In case you haven’t picked up on it now the theme of this draft is toughness.
Dallas or adopting some of the Bella check ideology- draft football players not stylistic measurable guys.

All four guys we drafted are Punch you in the face run you over types.
Except for maybe the tackle we took last night he’s a little bit more finesse than the rest.

I would be ok with a passive aggressive all linemen /front 7 draft . Literally every pick

This...is not the linebacker we need. His scouting report feels like I'm reading about Jaylon Smith minus the drop foot.

Mel:

Off-ball Linebackers

12. Marist Liufau, Notre Dame

 

[conner01]

Too light, LVE was 255 lbs, and the middle run defense was much better with him in there.

Now we will have a couple of 230-235 lb MLBs.

Not good.

That’s where the league is going because they have to play in coverage so much

 

[Doomsday]

This is a reach in my opinion. Not sure how you pass on a RB for a guy who could be there much later.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

At least they passed on the knees and elbows guy.

Payton Wilson?

 

[bleachedwheat]

This pick just made their draft grade plummet. Awful.

From Walter Football:

Dallas Cowboys: Marist Liufau, LB, Notre Dame – A Grade ​

The Cowboys lost Leighton Vander Esch, so they had to find a new linebacker. Marist Liufau is a potential solid replacement, as he has terrific athleticism, speed, and upside. I thought he’d go earlier than this, perhaps even the second round, so I love the value.​

I hope he's right.

Minus the drop foot jaylon was good lol his college game was really good but he was never the same after that

But he's actually terrible vs the run.

Should have gone with Wright. There's a theme with high motor players the last few selections, but man this is probably a special teams selection for this year. Wright could have contributed snaps right away.
