The Cowboys investment at linebacker will pay off for years to come

[SteveTheCowboy]

Will not be shocked if Overshown fizzles out early from injuries. Kid definitely has talent though.

It was cool seeing him always around the ball and forcing plays to the sideline.
But that injury....i hope it heals and just a freak accident. He plays hard i hope hus body can handle it. Talanted indeed.

I would have taken the Cowboys more seriously if they didnt take a 5th Round Projection LB in the Third while having the best LB in the Draft (Wilson) still on the board, that was injury prone in HS and early College but played 12 games last year without seeming to be impacted. Won LB and Defender of the year

Post of the day contender here.

 

[Verdict]

A team that is bad stopping the run has no business drafting Liufau. Everything about this pick bothered me then and it still bothers me now. He’s great against the pass but awful against the run. We already had that guy in Bell. There was so much talent on the board at pick 87 this reach really irks me. Then I find out San Fran offered a trade to drop back 7 spots and we turned it down. That extra pick could have been used to grab a RB. Did they think someone would take Marist in the next 7 picks? No one else had him that high. Heck they didn’t even have him that high. They just knew they didn’t have another pick til late 5. Why not make the trade with San Fran? It’s mind boggling.

I hadn’t heard about the trade down offer. Do you have any details on that.

 

[Rockport]

That's my point.....it's all just speculation and the fact that at least 4 or more of our players are post surgery it's even harder to speculate.

What’s wrong with speculating with hope? Novel concept for you I know but you should try it. You wouldn’t be so grouchy all the time.

Lol a CZ fan thinking they know more than Will McClay. Shocker.

Speculate with facts and evidence, not hope.

Hope isn't a plan......

The writer the OP mentioned is stating speculation as if it's a fact.....he should have used " could" or "might" instead of WILL

Try reading the article for a change

He wasn't. You didn't like the pick. Maybe the Cowboys see something you don't.

There were multiple teams the Cowboys were talking too. They declined them all in fear of missing out on Liufau. He was higher on their board when they were on the clock than any RB's also.

I had all that stuff pulled up the week after the draft but have since closed everything. I posted all that information in here. I couldn't tell you which specific threads they were but there are in here somewhere. If I come across anything I'll PM you.

Do you know where the Cowboys had each player they drafted on their board?

No. Just the post draft comments that gave hints.

BP always said why ignore your board that you put so much effort into it.

Send me one Projection from any Draft and NFL Expert that hat Liufau in the range the Cowboys picked.

He was a 5-6 th Round Pick in basically every projection ive seen:

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Marist-Liufau-LB-NotreDame
-> 5th

-> 6th

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/marist-liufau/32004c49-5509-8197-2b25-ee72cdcbe615
-> Zierlein -> 5th

Brugler
-> 15th Ranked (!) LB.

Kiper
-> 12th Ranked (!) LB
