Cowboys Depth Chart Reveals Rookie as Monster in the Making

Donovan Ezeiruaku didnt exactly steal the headlines before draft night.

But give it time he might be the one people cant stop talking about by years end."Easy" (as he told us this week he'd like to be called) was college football's most prolific pass rusher in 2024.

But don't make the mistake of assuming he's strictly that.

Its the pop at the point of attack, the rare arm length, and the upper body power that are lesser known qualities of his game that definitely show up on tape.His hands land with intent when he wants them to and he's got long (34-inch) arms for his position.

Needless to say he strikes with plenty of power and leverage.

And if you need proof of the strength he also backs up his arm length with? He repped 22 times on the bench at the Combine one more than first-round pick Tyler Booker who was widely regarded as the most physically dominant lineman in the draft class.That strength, paired with his long frame and disruptive edge instincts, gives him the foundation of a future three down player.But heres the twist even with all that promise, the Cowboys still might have three guys who are better pure pass rushers right now.

Micah Parsons is in his own category.

Dante Fowler gets 10 sacks in his sleep.

And Sam Williams has been too injured to prove he's capable of a double digit sack season but we know that upside is in his bag.

When hes locked in, hes lightning in a bottle too.So there's a world where Ezeiruaku is still only the 4th most effective pass rusher on the Cowboys depth chart.Thats not a knock on Easy, either.

Thats simply the luxury of Dallas front seven.He isnt being asked to be the guy which is another element we'll son be diving deep into.

He just needs to grow into his body (he's not huge at 6-2, 248) and bring the leadership that made him a team captain at BC.Then when the light turns on as a run defender his blend of tools, mindset, and motor could turn him into one of the best value picks of the entire draft class.Because sometimes its not about being better today.

Its about being undeniable when your time comes.Related: Cowboys Sign Dak Prescott Freakish New Quarterback BackupRelated: Cowboys Tyler Booker Flexes Leadership Muscle at Camp.
