The Dallas Cowboys’ war room is buzzing like a Texas chili cook-off, but not everyone’s tasting victory. Fans are side-eyeing Jerry Jones’ latest draft move like it’s a suspicious brisket—smoky on the outside, uncertain at the core.
Dallas shocked fans Friday by grabbing Clemson DE Donovan Ezeiruaku at No. 44, despite his eye-popping 16.5 sacks, 20 QB hits, and 60 pressures in 2023. One league source gushed, “Unbelievable person, super competitor.” But critics argue Ezeiruaku—a self-proclaimed Eagles fan from South Jersey—should’ve been drafted earlier.
Fan reactions? Spicier than Nashville hot chicken. “He’s an Eagles fan. Must be painful. South Jersey kid,” one tweeted. Others roasted ACC competition: “ACC football is trash. Huge bust potential.” But Texans pundit Cody Stoots apparently countered after a chance meetup.

“Texans pundit Cody Stoots ran into him out to eat and said he had a super nice family and was a great person,” said one fan. Dallas doubled down on “high-character” picks, drafting OL/DL stars praised for grit. It’s a page from the ‘90s dynasty playbook—but will it work now? Critics groan, “This logic hasn’t worked for 20 years.”
Jones’ gamble hinges on Ezeiruaku becoming the next DeMarcus Ware or another “7-10 season” footnote. Can a Philly fan thrive in Dallas? Pass the popcorn.
This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
