Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: DT LT Overton

I wouldn’t even say his floor was high.

He’s just a run of the mill backup NT that Dallas usually plucks in around that range seemingly every, other year.

Yes, I would say Low floor/Low ceiling.

We may have to wait until 2027 to see him impacting the defense. I'm still excited to see what CP can do with him though.

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: DT LT Overton

LT Overton isn't just transitioning from college ball to the NFL in 2026, but he'll also be moving to a new position. One of three fourth-round picks last April by the Cowboys, Overton is going from playing edge rusher at Alabama to an inside position in Dallas.

Despite the extra recognition from playing at Alabama, Overton only had middling appeal in the 2026 draft class. He was too big and not athletic enough for the modern NFL pass rusher, looking more like a run stopper. There was pre-draft talk that he might fare best by bulking up and moving inside, and that's exactly what the Cowboys saw in Overton when they use a late fourth-round pick to select him.

Wait - isn’t his position as LT already set??

I thought he'd quit drinking and had the delerium tremors.
