I’m sayin thoGood luck getting somebody to bite on a 1 next year for 26. Also does you no good this year.
Josh JacobsIs he liek Chris Johnson or marshal Faulk or
They have already let us know this is the pick if you listen to Broaddus and the rest of the guys.Not.
Steve.
Avila.
This guy is someone I hadn't heard of until a few days ago. Has a little Tyler Smith nastiness and even reminds me a little of Larry Allen. He's raw but the power is undeniable.They have already let us know this is the pick if you listen to Broaddus and the rest of the guys.
It’s likely a massive reach. But, we mostly all thought Tyler Smith and Travis Frederick were massive reaches as well.

There have been a couple of the youtube Cowboys channels suggesting the Cowboys would take him or Avila at 58.I love Mafi. I have no idea where you’d have to take him, but I’m all for Dallas bringing him in to compete on the OL.
His attitude, strength and aggressiveness is exactly what Dallas has been wanting to get on their OL. With reports out there that Dallas likes Mafi, and with his profile, I won’t be surprised to see the Cowboys take him at some point. He clearly isn’t a first round player but he might go earlier than a lot of people think.
I hope they do manage to get him on the team.
Yeah, the people thinking he’s going to be there in the 4th or 5th round are way off base, IMO. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him come off the board in the 2nd.There have been a couple of the youtube Cowboys channels suggesting the Cowboys would take him or Avila at 58.
I‘m one of the ones who thinks he goes day 3 but it only takes one coach who thinks they can coach him up quickly. I think the pro jump will be big for him as he is still very raw and inexperienced. I think he has something like 15 or 16 games of starter experience and started off on defense. I do think he has a high ceiling but wherever he is drafted, I think he is going to take time to develop.Yeah, the people thinking he’s going to be there in the 4th or 5th round are way off base, IMO.

I’d love for Dallas to get him in the 3rd… but that might be too late.
I did some digging, Denver paper believes he is a 3rd rd prospect. Most have him earliest in rd 4. Heard from another poster who reportedly has inside sources that Mafi is more of a 2nd or even first rd prospect as the actual NFL scouts are much higher on him than the media scouts. My best guess, is he is a late day 2 prospect. Like him much more then Avila cause he is s dominate run blocker.I love Mafi.

Can you hook me up with your contacts? I have some money burning a hole in my pocket.I did some digging, Denver paper believes he is a 3rd rd prospect. Most have him earliest in rd 4.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’m hearing. Teams like him more than media scouts.I did some digging, Denver paper believes he is a 3rd rd prospect. Most have him earliest in rd 4.

At least a year, IMO. There’s a chance that he might be ready to try to win a spot by camp 2024. He might be worth the wait though. He has real power.I‘m one of the ones who thinks he goes day 3 but it only takes one coach who thinks they can coach him up quickly.

In my opinion, he is the opposite of Avilia, who is an excellent pass protector, but needs a little development technique wise as a run blocker. Mafi, just like Tyler is a destroyer in the run game and needs a lot of work in pass protection. For what I've heard, he is intelligent and a hard worker. Send him and the rest of our young lineman to Duke to work on his technique as a pass protector.Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’m hearing. Teams like him more than media scouts.
I sort of feel like the third is where I’d like the team to pull the trigger, if they do. However, for all I know, the team has him ranked as a second round prospect. I do know the team has some interest there and I understand why.
