BONUS EPISODE: Is Miami EDGE Akheem Mesidor WORTH the Gamble At No. 20 With Injury & Age Concerns?

Cowboys face a draft dilemma: Is Miami’s Akheem Mesidor the pass-rushing difference-maker Dallas needs, or are age and injuries too big to overlook? Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down the pros and cons of targeting Mesidor in Round 1, spotlighting his polished technique, relentless motor, and surprising versatility as a run stopper who even drops into coverage. With the Dallas Cowboys aiming to upgrade their defensive line, Mesidor’s readiness and high floor make him a tempting option—especially for a team seeking immediate impact.

The discussion heats up as Mosher and McCool weigh Mesidor’s advanced age, concerning injury history, and just-okay athleticism against his production and tape. Is he worth a top-20 pick, or does he fall into classic Day 2 territory? Player comparisons, draft strategy, and the Cowboys’ defensive priorities all come into focus in this must-hear scouting debate.
