[NewsBot]

IRVING, Texas -- Breaking down the defensive line in the Dallas Cowboys’ 36-31 victory against the New York Giants:

Anyone that has followed this club over the years knows the names DeMarcus Ware , Jay Ratliff , Jason Hatcher and Anthony Spencer . But until Sunday night at AT&T Stadium, you weren’t so sure of guys like Nick Hayden , George Selvie , Landon Cohen , Jerome Long and Edgar Jones .
With all the injuries along the defensive line this squad endured during training camp, these players were put into some situations where they had no choice but to play at a high level.

Precisely why I'd like to see the 2014 draft heavy on the D Line and Marinelli hang around.

Was Rayford inactive for the game?

No question that DL help is needed.

But they (the Cowboys) are also going to need to replace Waters at guard because I doubt he plays more than this season.

And while say a first 3 round draft of a DT, G, DE would tickle many Cowboy fan, you know it won't work out that way... Not if the Cowboys follow their board rather than drafting for need.

Throw in a S. Don't want to have to rely on Matt Johnson or put all our eggs in one basket with Wilcox.

Was Rayford inactive for the game?

Yes. And Broaddus makes no mention of Kyle Wilber, who was active, but not very memorable obviously.

Yeah that draft sounds nice, but like you just said....noway we can draft with that much need involved.

I still look towards free agency to fill a hole or two.

Mike,

Don't forget that we need a TE in the second round too!
