There are quite a few measurables missing, which makes it a little hard to make an accurate read on this year's DT class. But from the data we do have, it looks pretty grim. Aaron Donald is the obvious standout, but Ra'Shede Hageman also checks off quite a few boxes, even though he may not be "quick-twitch" enough for the Cowboys.
After that though, it's slim pickings. Caraun Reid could be an option in the mid rounds, but outside of him, there aren't many prospects that fit the template, until you get into the late rounds. But while some of those late-rounders, like Kerry Hyder, Jason Bromley, Tenny Palepoi, and Khyri Thornton looked good in tights, there's a reason they are ranked as low as they are. The Cowboys seem to be aware of that, as Will McClay also recently indicated:
So, there’s some good football players and then there’s some guys that have some traits that are not in the first three rounds that we are going to continue to look at. You’ve got to be aware of that as you build the team, and you want to be able to find value in those lower rounds in guys that can come in and help you.
