Marist Liufau Draft Profile:
- The 'Good' from Chat Sports' Tom Downey (@whatgoingdowney on Twitter):
Strong in coverage, good under pressure, versatile linebacker.
- via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
Liufau has intriguing traits with his length, burst and violence, but he must improve his play instincts to balance out his relentless play style. He should shine as a “core four” special teamer in the NFL while he gets coached up...
GRADE: 5th-6th Round
- via PFF:
Liufau is a powerful downhill linebacker who attacks ball carriers and blockers with bad intentions. His instincts and feel for spot zone coverage still need work if he is to be relied upon consistently.
- Downey's 'Bad':
Inconsistent in run defense; Needs to improve hand usage; Can be slow in coverage transitions.

F, THE COWBOYS could have had an A draft...then they picked Marist.
Cowboys blew their best draft in 10 years with their 3rd round pick of a LB bust with family ties to Puka Nacua. Not smart.
A Just watched the tape amazing run stopper
A+
LIUFAU IS A GREAT PICK AND WAS PROJECTED TO GO IN THE 3RD OR 4TH ROUND
THERE ARE PLENTY OF POWERBACK RB'S LEFT IN THE DRAFT AND WE NEEDED 1 OF THE 2 SO IM HAPPY WE GOT A LB
ANYONE HATING ON THIS PICK IS A CASUAL AND DOESN'T ACTUALLY SCOUT PLAYERS OR WATCH THEIR TAPES
Tough and aggressive. Not soft. Cowboys need this kind of player
You pick the character guys on the final day if the draft, not in round 3. Bad pick.
3% true run stop rate for a middle linebacker ? maybe we should go check how Mr Webster defines "soft"
@@zacharythomasrobertson8471wrong you discount him but who the fck are you ? zimmer personally wanted him and why? bc he did his due diligence and research and personally wanted him over other linebackers if he worth a sht get rid of Zimmer but i have faith in the coach and specifically asking for him to
True
I’m a ND fan, and he’s really good. Tough kid. Don’t let a non scout tell you something about a player u haven’t watched. I watch all of his games. The kid can play. And yes I would’ve went with an RB. And I meant watch this kids games (all of them) this is a team sport and he will do just fine
Exactly
I believe you
I was the same as you. He was one of the reasons the defense was as good as it was. He made plays every game. Other than Benjamin Morrison I thought he was the best player on the team. Just my opinion.
I'm not saying he's a top 100 pick but your 6th round grade is fucking crazy.
Yeah I been hearing a 4th and he’s the first one that talked about a 6th and even talked negative about him. But I noticed everyone is pouting about a running back

Garbage
The same reaction when Vanderash was drafted. He was very good when he was healthy.
Exactly ...
Vanderesch was decent, Very good linebackers aren't ankle tacklers.
As a ND fan, this guy is a playmaker. He may not look like it but he has a high motor, high energy and plays the pass really well.
Yes. We still need RB B Allen
If we could somehow get Braelen in the 5th I would be so excited
Me too I really don't believe he will be there but if he is gone id like ray Davis I'm not sure maybe they see something in duce @@tertswiftfan4life33
Too bad he won't be there
A lot of RB still a n board
I want Braelon Allen SOOOOO BAD!!!
Marist Liufau Stats:
2023: 44 TKL, 6 TFL,
3 SACK, 1 FF
I hate this pick and not because I don't think Marist is good. We could have traded back to 125-150 and still gotten Marist. I had Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Cedric Gray, Nathaniel Watson, Tyrice Knight, Tommie Eichenberg, Curtis Jacobs, Jaylan Ford all ranked well ahead of Liufau. He is on par with Darius Muasau, Edefuan Olofoshio, Jordan Magee, Aaron Casey, Omar Speights, Steele Chambers imo, he's a 5th-6th round pick and that's going by the tape+ production.
They still don't have a decent rb or a big run stopping dt on the team
@@petepanagiotopoulos1350 they say Cowboys were on the phone. A team has to trade with us if no one wants to make a trade there is no trade so to say that it’s just ignorant
A little over 3 tackles a game. Ooof…..
Guyton, Kneeland, Beebe and Liafau. Sounds like a law firm.
This is funny 😂
Lets hope they lay down the law then lmaooo
You had a 6th round grade on dude? DAMN. Nashon Wright all over again. Every time they get an extra 3rd round pick they reach for a guy who would've been there in round 6. Smh
Others did as well. I’ve seen several “D” grades for it on prominent sites.
Agreed......
@soylentteal who cares about other teams, we expect the Cowboys to draft intelligently. They take the faithful fan base for granted. They sell out every game so they get away with BS like this.
Literally everyone else I've seen thinks this is a good pick. Tom giving him a 6th round grade is crazy
I didn’t say other teams. I said sites. This pick is a cinch for the reach list.
We will remember this video!
Solid. Future starting MLB.
I really liked the first pick.
The second pick has a lot of potential.
They need a running back.
A+ Best pick in trhis YEARS Draft
Tom liked the Mazi pick that tells me a lot
Have the Cowboys done 'good' through 3 rounds? Comment Yes or No
No!
They did good until not trading back to select a 5th round LB about 75 picks too early.
Hell yeah !
The best way for the Cowboys Report to grow is more shares! So help us out!
I really like this pick. I think we will draft a RB here soon. Wouldn't mind moving up to do so day 3.
I'm a huge Overshown fan I'm glad he will have his rookie year this year.but we need another solidLB clark ain't him.plus a DT and we NEED A RB!!!?
I agree with your initial accessment downey!Not the greatest athlete on the board but ,I got to say he looks like he has a great motor and his long+ let's hope for intangibles he may be 👍
Which rival do you dislike more: Eagles or Giants?
Giants always been the giants Eagles yeah they annoying but really have they done much they just won their first Super Bowl in 2017
Shegles
Eagles been in existence 50+ years have 1 ring and talk shihhh😂 they irrelevant
Eagles
He’s a beast! What you taking about? 6th round 🤣
A beast my ass
Next Man Up thats all that matters
Super reach. Wasn't even listed on ESPN's board of best LB available for at least 2 more rounds. Should've gotten Wilson without an ACL or the LB from Penn State that went a few pi KS after him
He his a solid player, has a nose for the ball! He will fit Zimmer scheme!!!!!
What happened to running back maybe trade 6th round pick for khalil Hebert chicago?
Sweet!

Calm down .... I like the picks so far... Hell we needed to get younger on the defense
I look at it like this NFL coaches are better than most college coaches so I say let’s wait and see because if we are all being honest, nobody really knows how good he will be…. It’s hard to measure a man’s heart. Plus he feels a need. Might not be there in round 5
LIUFAU IS A GREAT PICK AND WAS PROJECTED TO GO IN THE 3RD OR 4TH ROUND
THERE ARE PLENTY OF POWERBACK RB'S LEFT IN THE DRAFT AND WE NEEDED 1 OF THE 2 SO IM HAPPY WE GOT A LB
ANYONE HATING ON THIS PICK IS A CASUAL AND DOESN'T ACTUALLY SCOUT PLAYERS OR WATCH THEIR TAPES
The pick was casual
Take a shot every time this guy says casual
I liked what I saw from him though he was more of a 4th grade for me as a pure middle linebacker not much left I truly believe they where afraid to take Wilson with medical past last two linebackers or three if you include Lee all had medical problems. Though with that last pick in the 3rd I would have been fine with him. Personally wanted Trotter JR
Grade this pick after we signed Zeke, Tom!

I seen him play for notre dame but he needs some work but I will say he's young and he needs some work but I hope he does a good job at linebacker that's all I'm saying
He’s just pouting like the others because a running back wasn’t taken yet. Ok he needs work on tackling, ummmm you playing in Mike Zimmers system so he’s going to coach that out of him real quick. As far as the instincts and reaction will see why Zimmer does with that. Yo many fans be forgetting that even first round picks have flaws. The kid had a 4th round great in most draft boards and he comes with a 6th.

ND didnt use him correctly hes going to just fine
I was hoping RB right there
Notre Dame had his doing too much. Like 🤠
A pick just watched the tape amazing run fit linebacker
🙏🏾🤔YES💪🏽🏈
We should have taken the RB from Tennessee with game breaking speed.
suprise! Where is our next running back?
I hope we tank for a top 5 pick next year. Try to get Shedeur Sanders , I’m not impressed so far. No rb , and project LBs. still have no real speed on our team
Why would you want sanders? He hasn't even won in college. Cares more about his Rolex and Bently.
Still need a DT,WR,DB
There’s reason you’re a RUclips personality and not in a draft room
Good
When you keep having to say......"UPSIDE". You already know he is not a good pick at the spot.

A REACH ! 5TH RD GRADE
Jones is finally starting to smell the coffee he sees the 49ers can play with there base and wanted to beef up Zimmer is gonna have this guy ready
ANYBODY can run the ball it’s the EASIEST job in football finding a good kicker is harder than a good Rb lol
Wtf are the Cowboys doing ? Usually they draft good but all these good RBs & WRs we don’t pick any ?
I want you in your free time look up rubs that won the Super Bowl n what rd they were drafted in then rethink
Wtf Jerry
He’s got great upside. He plays fast, hits the hole hard, and is a great locker room guy. Definitely has the right tools to develop into a Fred Warner type player. He’s got tackling issues but you can teach that. You can’t teach dawg and speed.
Can u teach him how to TACKLE?
@@MisterFudanFred Warner had about the same draft comparison and if he can develop into the best lb in the league Liufau can too if our coaches are patient with him.
@@MisterFudandude you don’t know more than Zimmer
Agreed. Great pick.
@@cheesesardines3013 not here to kill on Liufau as a player but he's no Fred Warner. Here are their college stats- Warner= 262 tackles/ 32.5 tackles for a loss/ 6.5 sacks/ 7 Interceptions/ 5 Fumble Recoveries/ 2 defensive TD'S. Liufau=117 tackles/ 12 tackles for a loss/ 4 sacks/ 1 interception/ 3 fumble recoveries/ zero defensive TD'S. He's more like Damian Wilson than he is Fred Warner.
I'm convinced that the Jones think Rico is a legitimate RB1
Rico did show some hot flashes last season but not yet fully a rb1 but guessin by the these picks we are beefing up our offensive line were any rb can shine
Tom, this pick and the 2nd, end of Dallas as best team in East. Future looks bleak. And shows Will Maclay is not the most important member of that War room. Those are Zimmers picks, and Zimmer and Macarthy will be gone after this year. So why let them have more lnfluence than your scouting Director in making those 2 picks.? Guyton and Bebee really good picks . Kiss playoffs good bye. Eagles great draft commanders good Free agency and draft. Giants good draft. Dallas after thid pick c- we needed an A draft 2 staters maybe we nneeded 4.
no way u had a 6th on this guy, wtf are you doing with your grading system
Ill be back on this video when Marist proves you wrong smh hes the next Fred Warner just watch
Pick was a reach...... but probably wouldn't have been their by the time of our 5th round pick. Third round picks need to become starters. Still have plenty of needs...should have went best player available. Maybe trade up back into the late forth to draft this guy....Didn't we learn anything from Dan Quinn Lets keep the coaches out of picking the draft...and let Will McClay do the player drafting/ acquisitions...
Zeke Malik Rico Duce Vaughn how much more do i want
Physical.
Why did Cowboys waste their extra 3rd round pick on a Box LB who can't tackle? They could have stayed in 1st round and got a pro bowl center !!! Or a great OT
Zimmer..if this was your pick, then u are high AF
Surprised….RB?
Anybody who want to start trade talks I wouldn't listen to so who cares where you had him
B
Im hoping that they see something in duces work ethic because we don't have a back
You are wrong dude you are no scout I'm trusting the front office and the defensive coordinator
After watching the tape on this kid, I'm not upset anymore. Paired with kendricks and overshown, should be a better defense. I really wanted a rb though
TennesseeRB
I'll give you four letters to describe this pick but they're not the ones you asked for.
Terrible. WTF are they gonna do at RB?
There’s plenty of draft left relax
@@joelkilzzzyt1283 which rb will be there at 174?
@@selphactualized9801 frank gore from southern misse is still available
@@joelkilzzzyt1283 plenty of draft left, and they did nothing at rb, nothing! Do I relax now?
I really like this pick he goes hard i really like this draft i know nothing about are 2 round pick i mean you never know someones work ethic but he goes hard as heck every play so i really like it
If he will step up and fill the hole, he will be much better than LVE.
😂😂😂😂😂 okay
A
My one word reaction, “TYPICAL”
It’s typical cowboys mess up and reach
D
Get my BamaBoy Jase McClellan at RB Roll Tide 🐘
I had 10 LBs above this guy wth was Dallas thinking?
My one word reaction: Hate
I’d like Trotter Jr in 5th, I think this is a good pick, good instincts and fast to the ball, to stop the run, need a body on someone till they get help, just sayin
U guys who are saying that Marist has upside...are high AF
We got taco and pittsburgh got tj watts again f
Jaylon smith 1.5. Over celebrates on small plays.
The current Dallas Cowboys' recruitment squad is among the most inept in the NFL. The future does NOT look bright.
Marist Liufau has Fred Warner upside. Film was good they just asked him to be Superman at Norte Dame
Stay in your LANE! What’s your credentials regarding player evaluation? Really - such a click baiter!
Seriously?
Didn't like the pick
Another average player. He will lose the ball carrier in traffic. Maybe 5th.
Aggressive, does over play, and misses tackles. Maybe in a few years? Probably a great special teams guy? Can’t criticize his effort though!
Zimm will mold into a beast
Can Zimmer teach him to stop arm "tackling" cuz it don't work. He is a box LB with below average rush defense, above average coverage skills and good 40 speed...what? A 3rd rounder???? When u could have had Jalen Wright?
Yes B+ draft
ALWAYS REMEMBER GUYS TOM WANTED TO GET PEYTON WILSON A PICK BEFORE AND WILSON DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN ACL IN HIS KNEE....
A+++ You don't know Tom Downey! 💎💎💎 We got the best ALL-PRO Sleeper at Linebacker! ✅✅✅ He's the steal of the draft! ❤❤❤ A very Special player for years to come! 🌟🌟🌟
Soooo, I guess Rico will be our lead back next year.
I think he's good. Not too far behind TP and much cheaper.
Still some decent RB in the 5th and I personally like Gore Jr in the 6th or early 7th
What!!!!!.....an absolute horrible pick
Stop acting like u know football
@@majorsluggz7612 stop actin as if you don't like men
Awfull pick not a good pick
