Overview
- Dallas selected Alabama defensive lineman LT Overton at No. 137 in the fourth round Saturday, following earlier edge picks Malachi Lawrence at 23 and Jaishawn Barham at 91.
- Overton measures 6-foot-3 and 274 pounds and was scouted as a versatile tweener who can play on the edge or slide inside based on scheme.
- He spent two seasons at Texas A&M before transferring to Alabama, where he posted 84 tackles, nine tackles for loss and six sacks across 26 games.
- Evaluators highlight strong run defense, power and leverage but note average burst and bend, with some projecting snaps at 3-technique in passing downs.
- His selection makes him the latest in a long pipeline, extending Alabama’s streak to 12 straight drafts with a defensive lineman picked and signaling Dallas’ push to restock its front.
