The Cowboys spent a second-round pick on Edge Donovan Ezeiruaku. He's undersized for the position historically: 6'2.5 (19th percentile) and 248 pounds (11th percentile). But a huge wingspan (82 and three-quarters inches; 85th percentile) helps make up for that. Ezeiruaku also brings nice speed off the ball and a 91st-percentile 3-cone drill. That points to his high-level ability to get around the edge as a pass rusher. And Ezeiruaku produced on the field at BC. He delivered 8.5 sacks among 15 tackles for loss and 61 total tackles as a first-time starter in 2022, his second season with the Eagles. Ezeiruaku closed his career with ACC-leading 21 TFLs and 16.5 sacks as a senior.
Ezeiruaku lands on a Dallas team that could really use his help. Micah Parsons led the team with 12 sacks (in just 13 games last year, but no one else had more than 5.5.
Ezeiruaku tied for sixth-most pressures among all FBS edge players in 2024 and also played the run well. That helped him play the third-most total snaps at the position in the country and should help him stay on the field more -- and thus collect more fantasy stats.
I'll be watching for signals of his rookie-year role, but Ezeiruaku looks like a good bet to land in DL3 range of our 2025 IDP rankings.
Ezeiruaku looks like one of the safer bets among edge players in the dynasty IDP rookie rankings. He especially looks like a good bet for tackles vs. others at the position.
