The Cowboys have managed to obtain impressive depth on the roster.
CB (not wow at the top but might hard to cut down to 5)
Awuzie
Brown
Diggs
Worley
Robinson
Westry
Burton
Canady
Goodwin
S.Smith
Lewis
DT:
McCoy
Poe
Woods
Gallimore
Hill
Bonus: Crawford can play DT if needed.
LB:
Jaylon
LVE
Lee
Joe Thomas (solid 4th LB. Reminds me of Hitchens)
Gifford (A standout in the preseason last year)
Bonus: Anae can play LB or DE.
DE (maybe the most questions marks)
DLaw
Crawford: Many games started at DE.
Aldon Smith: Good if he is the 4th DE. Might be a problem if they expect him to be the starter and play 70% of snaps.
Gregory: Solid player if available.
Anae: Great fit in Nolan's scheme where he likes to use hybrid DE/LB types.
Armstrong: Solid depth.
Joe Jackson: Flashed physical ability as a rookie. Could challenge for spot if he is consistent.
UDFAs: Multiple players that were very good in college.
Safety (not wow at the top but 3 have 1 or more complete seasons as starters)
HaHa
Woods
Wilson: His college position coach is now is position coach in the NFL.
Thompson
Bonus: Awuzie & Worley are options.
OL - Interior:
Martin
They have 4 legit options competing for 2 spots (OC & LG).
Connor Williams
McGovern
Looney
Biadasz
Bonus: Cam Erving has more starting experience than all of them.
- Erving has started at OC, LG, LT and a few games at RG and RT.
OL - OT:
Tyron
La'el
Cam Erving: Upgrade from Fleming. Started 8 games at LT for the Super Bowl champion Chiefs.
WR:
Cooper
Gallup
Ceedee
If there is an injury then 2 of the 3 play outside and other players compete to play slot WR.
Bonus: Tony Pollard can play snaps as a WR.
TE (not really deep, but TE might be the 4th or 5th option in the passing game):
Jarwin
Blake Bell: Played in the Super Bowl. Solid blocker.
Schultz: Was a solid blocker the 2nd half of 2018. Witten/Jarwin got the bulk of all snaps in 2019.
Cole Hikutini: Might challenge for the 3rd spot.
RB:
Zeke
Tony Pollard: Might be a starter on some teams.
QB:
Dak
Dalton: Might be the best backup QB in the Jerry era.
Ben DiNucci: Might be that legit developmental QB that teams like to have on the roster.
DE is full of unreliable players, DT is scarce in depth with old players, LB is scarce in depth, and your P is still Chris Jones.
You win Super Bowls and contend for Super Bowls in the trenches and we are not prepared on defense for trench warfare. Can you say DOOMSDAY I (Lilly, Pugh, Andres, etc.), II (Martin, White, Jones, etc.), and III (Haley, Lett, Maryland, etc.)?
