Video with Donovan Ezeiruaku

[Pass2Run]

This is going to be interesting. It's possible Donovan E ends up being the best pass rusher in the class. He's 21 and his technique is just so good. We're not talking potential with Randy Gregory. This dude already has NFL technique.

I can't remember who said Dwight Freeny, but someone made that comp

EZ is also a better run defenders than people think.

 

[Carter]

That has the potential of a homerun pick. Im just curious about his run defense. If thats good too he might have All Pro Potential.

In 2024 along with his 16.5 sacks he had 21 TFL's ; 37 solo & 43 asst (80) tackles & 3 forced fumbles in 12 games. He also had 1 PD (not sure what that is - maybe pass defensed)

His 4 year career stats are: 47 games; 30 sacks; 113 solo; 102 asst; 215 comb tackles; 8 forced fumbles & 4 PD.

 

[Creeper]

Ezeiruaku seems like a smart player. That's a big advantage over Sam Williams. If he can gain 10 or 15 lbs and maintain his quickness he could be pretty good lining up opposite side of Micah Parsons.

He's the real deal..........good run defender. His game reminds me of Greg Ellis. Not sure about the ALL-PRO level but you are getting a consistent starting player who will show up every Sunday.

It's always potential with the Cowboys. Yea, the potential that he will be the next Lawrence Taylor, but most likely he will be another Demarcus Lawrence. Given this franchises track record of talent development over the last quarter of a century it is more likely he will be another Demarcus Lawrence - if we are lucky.

It is funny, I was listening to Daniel Jeremiah's podcast about two weeks before the draft last week. He listed 4-5 players that teams had all over the map on their draft boards. Three of the names were Ezeiruaku, Revel and McMillon. Just found it intersting three guys dallas liked (two they picked...one they would have) were on that list. He likes Ezeiruaku but some teams didn't like his power and Jeremiah agreed he will need to work on this in the pros.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I don't know how good he can be against the run in the NFL at under 250 lbs. With him, Micah, and Osa all undersized, we're awfully small on the DL.

It's always potential with EVERY rookie. It's not just the very special Dallas Cowboys who aren't fortunate enough to have the next Lawrence Taylor.

Well that's something he can grow into what's the difference if he's a dynamic pass rusher say like Robert Quinn has some weaknesses in the run department he can learn to get better at it what's the difference tank wasn't a very good pass rusher he was really good in the run defense somehow he became a pro bowler i'm pretty sure that every Player has weaknesses I don't know any complete player that doesn't have a single weakness just like people figure out sometimes how to beat Parsons or you double or triple them you could take guys out of games but that's how I see this kid he has moves like Demarcus Ways got those long arms that bend but he is a dynamic pass rusher already he probably will be at least that in the NFLI don't know how great but to me he looks like Robert Quinn and right now yes Robert Quinn the knock on him was he didn't do much against a run at all,

However he played a very long time in this league and people are going to say all he's good for was 10 sacks a year but yeah that's pretty much what he gave you so I'll deal with his weaknesses if this guy turns out to be a war daddy on the opposite side of Parsons causing havoc while overshown comes back in the middle and causes havoc this defense can end up being one of the best defenses we've ever had as far as in recent history you know the last decade..

It's crazy how much I wanted Abdul Carter you know because he looks so much like Parsons...

this guy looks a lot like Demarcus Ware and if anything, he could be Robert Quinn as his floor in this league ,and that's a great pickup... And he's got those war daddy long arms he's got that first contact that knocks a guy off balance...​

​

I mean he's got all kinds of pass rush moves, I mean we could all be over rating him already, but he could be as good as Abdul Carter but like I said in other things if his floor is Robert Quinn, i'll take that right now..​

If he has to learn how to play the run better that's fine but you can bring in a guy like Kneeland that's why we brought kneeland in here he's supposed to be better against the run we've got other players that we can rotate in and out like they do with defensive lines all over the NFL, For situational football this kid looks more than impressive and I never heard of him i'm not gonna claim to even know who this guy was going into the season even revel or Booker I mean these were total shocks to me and after watching a lot of video I can see why they picked these guys...

why does everybody come on here and say every player coming out of college we need to add ten to fifteen pounds to that's not happening you can get stronger and not gain weight but not that much we're talking about five pounds maybe ten you're going to take this guys speed away if you put too much weight on them you remember Mozzy is not the first player either.

So let's let the coaches figure that out when they talk about getting in the weight room they're talking about getting stronger but all he needs to do is learn to pro game he's going to be going up against better competition and that's all rookies have to struggle with transitioning but he ain't gaining that much weight in his entire career they so overrate and misinform the media and fans about how much weight is lost or gained we heard this with Ezekiel Elliott it's insane no one knows what they weigh nobody sees these guys in the shower or on the scales you guys exaggerate everything no right now he's already looks like he could be a force..

And by the way Sam Williams may not know how to scale back his game he's a little bit too excited and passionate this dudes got all kinds of skills as well do not dismiss Sam Williams career his first step his speed and he's bigger and stronger than EZ.. Like right now all the things were upset about about Sam Williams has something to do with the end of the plays the fact is he's always around the quarterback he's always around the punter or the kicker the man has potential to be a great player so let's not dismiss one player so you can prop up another why did we need to do that sam Williams might have a career here as well just needs to get it on track..

First of all, there's no we I don't remember you playing NFL football but you realize that they rotate the defensive line more than any other position in football to meet situational football they'll put the bigger guys in on obvious goal line or short yardage that's why you got guys like Turner , wheat, Kneeland and Thomas.. Like I said they rotate the defensive line lineman especially interior D line all the time you do remember all the beef they just brought in at nose tackle guys like Rogers and the guy from UCLA well those two draft picks along with Mazi they're big... Just like you have nascar packages for obvious plays where you want to affect the past game you have run fits.. Lots of rotation in and out in games being played against the offensive coordinator when the defensive coordinator is trying to guess and rotate things in and out that is what rotations are for...

The £250 doesn't bother me I mean he's built exactly like Robert Quinn who is a great nfl pass rusher if that's all we get out of a pic here that's a great draft pick in itself he can learn to play the run better...

I had him third only behind Carter/Pierce in a loaded class. Freeney was undersized too, but was an excellent pass rusher.

I mean he talks about Micah Parkson's too much,

and I get it ,

we can realize those other guys on this team for nascar packages like Fowler he's known for his pass rush skills, overshown when he comes back can you imagine that along with Sam Williams the people who dismissed Sam Williams, so must they forget how fast he is his first step ???

I mean the only knock against him is he doesn't know when to pull up but where does that come from his late hits are you know on the punter the kicker and the quarterback, that's because he's there all the time the guys nearly unblockable 1 on 1...

so yeah, this nascar package that we could put on this field is more than just Parsons and again with overshowne coming back up to havoc in the middle with all that speed and athletic ability at least against the past this team could look very dangerous...

 

[JW82]

I really don't understand how this kid made it to 44. He is a sack specialist. Sometimes they get to the combine and show a lack of speed. This kid had the best 3-cone of the pass rushers. Probably the only relevant time for an edge rusher. He's not 6'5, but usually folks are concerned about shorter guys arm length. He has 34" arms which is what 6'5 guys usually have. Glad he dropped. I think he's a steal.

 

[blueblood70]

Right, most of his career Robert Quinn was 6 foot 4 245 coming into the league gained some weight they say he finished at 264 but that up for debate betting hes 250ish, Quinn I mean one of his nicknames was Gumby,

I mean think about itI keep bringing him up as my comp for E Z E what the..

but he was known as a primary pass rusher, and he was pretty tall and thin and all he did was get sacks...102 Sacks for his career..34 FF, 102 TFL all in 169 games.. Not bad for a guy they say all he can do is pass rush that's like saying all a guy can do is score touchdowns I mean that is his main job.

Freeney was almost 20lbs heavier and ran a 4.48 40 at the combine and was rumored to have run much faster at this Pro Day and had the craziest spin move ever. I'm not saying he is Randy Gregory, but he's probably more Gregory than Freeney. I'm really excited to see this kid, but maybe tap the brakes just a little.
