I think DT Khalen Saunders might be underrated.

He is very quick, especially at 324 pounds.
He had a good showing for Senior Bowl week.
Despite his weight, I think he would make a good 3-tech. He might even be able to drop a few pounds and play at around 315-320 which would make him even quicker.
It would be good to add more size at the 3-tech DT spot. The Cowboys already have multiple tweener DT/Strong-Side DE types like Crawford (6-4, 290), Hyder (6-3, 270) and Taco (6-6, 270).
Saunders has a good "motor" but does get fatigued at times. He played a high percentage of snaps in college, but in the Marinelli rotation, fatigue wouldn't be a problem.
His performance measurable(s) at the combine were very good.
On the downside, he is short 6'-3/8" with 32-1/8" arms (average DL arm length was 33-3/8").
His times and Vert compare well to some lighter weight players at the combine.
His 10-yard and 3-cone times were impressive for a 324 pound player.
