Here is the reality of where we are at....the Cowboys are good enough and should be for a while to not be picking inside the top 15 picks of the draft. Not like you cant find great interior DL outside the top 15 (Chris jones is a great example) but your odds go down considerably. Personally I would have no issues if the Cowboys find a DT they love sitting in round 1, but with as many holes as we have on the Oline my guess is we go that route.
The piece that fans miss is the player development aspect. The Cowboys have invested high picks in each of the last few drafts on DTs. Gallimore, OSA, and Hill are all 3rd round or higher picks. We can do the same again this year with a 2nd/3rd rounder, but should we expect much different results? Those are the rounds you typically get a guy with physical traits, but needs developed still. I have no issues if Jerry went to Dan Quinn and said this offseason is mostly going towards rebuilding the offense. Lets try to resign a few guys from our defense, but lets focus on actually getting the most out of these last two defensive heavy drafts. I dont love Hill, but I can see rotational value there. Osa I see with high potential traits, but probably needs to add 10LBS this offseason and somehow not lose his quickness in doing so. I still expect him to reach low end starter/high end rotational guy. Gallimore is the guy that I think can be that dominant presence inside. He has the size, strength, and speed combo that everyone looks for, but is tough to find. He gets dominated in the run game, but has all the physical tools to fix that. Its a shame he missed so much of the season because he is a guy that I think really just needs reps. When I watch him on tape I see a guy who struggles to read blocks. I feel if this coaching staff cant develop Gallimore I dont have a ton of hope they can develop another DT.
