Dallas Cowboys Pulled Off A Double Dose Of HIGHWAY ROBBERY!

Dallas Cowboys Pulled Off A Double Dose Of HIGHWAY ROBBERY!

[Music] Coming up on today’s show, we did a similar video last year about the Cowboys finding some success at a relatively cheap rate in the offseason. We’re doing it again this year. I think the Cowboys, Will Mccclelay, I’ll give the Jones boys credit to Stephven Jones, Jerry Jones, I think they may have found a couple of noteworthy additions on the defensive side of the ball based on what we’ve seen so far in training camp and in the preseason. We’ll break down what those or who those two players are and why they’re such valuable assets. Before we get into it though, if you are excited for football to be here for the 2025 Cowboys season and at least the hope of it being different this time around, show it by liking today’s video for me right now. I think there were a couple two really offseason moves that were impressive. two offseason additions that I think could really benefit the Cowboys that we could look back in two years, even this year, and go, “Wow, that was a steal.” The first one, it’s Kyrie Ela. The Cowboys gave up next to nothing to acquire the former Bills corner and so far I think has been one of your biggest offseason, mostly training camp winners for the Cowboys. We’ll break down him. And really, if you go back and watch our draft coverage, one of the most excited times I’ve had on air in a couple years now, actually, since since CD Lamb, frankly, Donovan Ezrau, I I thought that one was a steal in the moment. I thought Elum was a fine gamble, and I am now even happy with how he’s done so far. I think both these guys could end up being massive, under the radar, significantly impactful additions for the Dallas Cowboys relative to what they gave up to get them. So, of these two, who are you more excited about going forward for the Dallas Cowboys? K for Kier Elum, D for Donovan Ezaraku. Let me know at the pinned comment of today’s show. K for Kier Elum, D for Donovan Ezerku. Let’s begin with Kaire Elum since he was acquired first, right? He was a former first round pick by the Buffalo Bills. Came out of Florida. Unfortunately, has been on the uh recent run of man that Florida corner everyone liked wasn’t that good in the NFL train, but he struggled in Buffalo. He he never really got going the way that I hoped that we all hoped he was going to be. At least those of us in the draft community, not so much non Bills fans, but like I thought he was going to be good. But since he got to Dallas, maybe this ends up being a true a change of scenery helped and that was what has unlocked him because he has been consistently impactful in the secondary and training camp and in the offseason workouts. He’s not the one getting coached to everybody else around him. And when Bland was out, he was by far the number one corner. Coming out of Florida, I was pretty high on Kyer Elum. Very almost identical to where he went. I had a first/ second round cheater aka coward grade on him. He was my number fourth ranked corner. He was the fourth ranked corner. He was taken four spots after where I had him overall ranked. So again, no real differences on that front, but he struggled. He he wasn’t good in in Buffalo. I don’t know if if it was the schematics, if it was the confidence as a result of some early struggles, which you know, corner, you have to be a dog. like you have to be borderline mentally ill to play corner. I think linebacker you actually have to be corner you want to have in an o almost an over-the-top self value and like ego because you’re going to get beat half the time. Like the best corners still allow about a 50% completion percentage about like so you you got to always think you’re better than everybody else though without it deteriorating too far into like sheer unabashed arrogance. It’s a very it’s an almost impossible line to straddle frankly but I think Elum in Dallas has had a little bit more confidence and you know Shottenheimer has said similar stuff as well. The trade itself nothing. Cowboys got Ka Elum. They got a fifth and future picks and the Bills got a fifth round. Essentially, it was a pick swap. It was a day three pick swap to go get Ka Elum. If he can even be competent, that’s a big deal. So, what is your confidence level in Ka Elum as a starter on the outside? Scale it for me from one to 10. one on the low end, 10 on the high end. What is your confidence level in Caillier Elum? I I’m I’m prefacing all of this or I guess not prefacing because that’s before, but I say all of this on Elum with I think what I consider proper expectations. I don’t need him to be a superstar. I don’t need to be a top 20 pick impact player. if he can be an average starter, which I do think is in a realistic range of outcomes where he’s not perfect, but he at least is serviceable relative to what you gave up for him, that ends up being a pretty big win. I mean, the what you gave up to get him really wasn’t any different than what you used to draft Eric Scott. And Eric Scott’s out of the league already. So, if you can get, you know, even below average starter caliber play, that’s a win for the Cowboys for what they gave up to acquire him. And I think you need that right now in this secondary. Don Bland is healthy. He’s one starter. We’ll see when Diggs is back. We’ll see when Simone Revel is back. If Kale Carson can ever stay healthy. You kind of need Elum to be a a key part of this defense. You don’t have to be elite. He doesn’t have to be the succcom coming of a Deion Sanders or a Terrence Newman, but if he’s better than boss man fat, that’s a huge win for the Cowboys. Again, the bar is kind of low at the moment. So, do you want Kaire Elum to be good? This should be every single person who hasn’t already liked the video. This should apply to you. Like the video if you haven’t already, please. And thank you. Let’s go to Donovan Ezaraku here. He was a second round pick at a Boston College by the Cowboys. I put him in the round in pretty much all of my round one mock drafts. He was impressive at Cowboys training camp. He was good. He was impactful. I I I I thought that he’s done a good job so far. He was awesome at Boston College, especially this past year after kind of a a downish year in terms of like sack to pressure rate, etc. But 16 and a half sacks, 60 pressures. Ezaraku played well. like he he looked good. He he did a lot of fun, impactful stuff of being able to get around the corner, be a pass rusher. As a rock against the Rams, only played 17 snaps. He actually I thought did a good job against the run when I went back and watched the All 22 and I thought he had the one nice pressure in a in a game in which like the other players around him weren’t particularly well. I think he’s got day two steel potential. Now, if you want more free Dallas Cowboys YouTube videos, let or show it by subscribing. Free, simple, easy. We got Cowboys videos for you each and every single day right here on the channel. So, if you haven’t already, hit that sub button for me right now. The Cowboys, like a lot of people, including me, were high on Davin Ezrau going into the NFL draft. They they did their pre-draft scouting. They evaluated him. The takeaway was this guy’s really good. I think the biggest thing he’s lacking right now is figuring out what his go-to move is. And the Cowboys often do this where sometimes they overinflate how high they were on a player. But the the message is accurate from Stephen Jones, even if maybe the exact details are a little a little uh murky. He says, “I give defensive line coach Aaron White Cotton credit. He was on the table form at pick 12 in the first round. He was jumping up and down saying, “This guy’s a 12th pick. Let’s get him.” The Cowboys did not. They took Tyler Booker instead because he was graded higher on the board. I I would say Ezrau was probably, you know, four, five, six spots back, give or take. I had Ezrau as my sixth graded edge coming out of of Boston College. He was 28th overall on my board. The Cowboys got him at pick 44, which was one of the better value picks actually for me in round two, period. And it’s been a while. Uh the Cowboys did it a lot in the CD Lamb, Trayvon Diggs, uh biottish class that turned out pretty damn well, but they took the best or second best player on my board. It doesn’t always happen. Historically, when that does happen, uh especially if it’s not like two rounds later because there was injury I didn’t know about, that player ends up turning out pretty good for the Cowboys or for whoever. So, predictions. How many sacks will Donovan Ezaraku have this year? Let me know in the comments section of today’s show how many sacks you think Ezrau ends up with. We’ll see how many like real chances he gets, like high quality chances he gets and the volume of those, but I think he could be a year one impact guy. You know, I’m not saying he’s suddenly going to be a top 20 pass rusher in football, but Micah Parsons is obviously going to command a majority of the attention for the Dallas Cowboys. Dante Fowler will be involved. Marshon Nean, Sam Williams, Ezraku will all be involved, but I think long-term Ezrau has that like potential like like Harold Landrew was my player account coming out. Workers went to Boston College, similar builds. Harold Landryesque production. Harold Landry who the Cowboys reportedly considered taking the year he came out too. Harold Landry has been a, you know, four and a half sack guy in his first season, but then nine sacks, had multiple years with nine or more sacks in the NFL. I think you could see Azaraku put up similar production sooner, hopefully sooner rather than later for the Dallas Cowboys. [Music]

Dallas Cowboys news today circles around Donovan Ezeriuaku and Kaiir Elam following the Cowboys 1st NFL preseason game. The two Cowboys offseason additions were not the biggest additions, but their play so far should give Cowboys fans hope for the future under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Cowboys’ front office member Will McClay deserves some real credit for adding both players and potentially helping out two key areas of concern.

Cowboys news: Stephen Jones gave a great example of why Donovan Ezeriuaku himself is considered a steal. Jones revealed that during the 2024 NFL Draft Cowboys defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton was ready to take Ezeriuaku with the 12th pick. Despite drafting Alabama left guard Tyler Booker with the 12th pick, Whitecotton and the rest of the Cowboys defensive coaching staff got good news when the Boston College defensive end was available with the 44th pick.
