Cowboys BREAKING: Dallas Selects Texas LB DeMarvion Overshown in Third Round

The Cowboys hope to bolster the defense by selecting DeMarvion Overshown from the University of Texas with the 90th overall pick in the third round of the NFL Draft.

The Dallas Cowboys have selected DeMarvion Overshown with the 90th overall pick in the third round. Overshown is 6-3, 229 pounds and is considered a rangy stacked backer whose athletic profile lends him to versatile usage on the football field.

SI Draft Bible says, "Overshown has a lengthy frame with an athletic build but sturdy base. Some edge alignment where he can run the hoop en route to the quarterback. Range as a zone dropper, length makes the hook-curl area off-limits for quarterbacks. Can flow to the boundary and set an edge as a sideline-to-sideline player. 

"Aggressive tackler, velocity, and explosion upon contact but typically controlled. Takes poor angles both in coverage and open-field tackling. Plays too loosely, not a lot of juice or twitch, making him look like he's in slow motion at times. Late to read and react. Too late to get off his landmark in coverage or trigger on goal-line runs. Hips are tight, labors when tasked with changing direction quickly. Overshown has a lot of traits that teams will desire. His length is rarely seen for typical inside linebackers, making him an asset in pass coverage. Pairing this with a fiery demeanor that shows up on every tackle and some edge alignment versatility and we have tools to work with."

In five seasons with the Longhorns, Overshown registered 249 tackles, 113 solo, nine sacks, and three interceptions.

The Cowboys are on the clock again at No. 129 in the fourth round.
