I'm not sure what you guys expected to begin with. Seems you guys raised the bar for him.
I'm not sure how much they follow the draft but it proves difficult to get those kind of impact interior guys outside the 2nd round, maybe they thought and hoped
( just as I did) the Cowboys discovered a hidden gem in Maliek Collins much in the way:
- ATL did with DT Grady Jarrett in the 5th round ...
- or Titans Jurrell Casey in the 3rd round
- or Cincy with 8 time pro bowler Geno Atkins (4th round)
- or Bears Akiem Hicks in the 3rd round.
- Snack Harrison was undrafted gem and ended up more of a dominant 1 tech than pass rushing 3 tech/ ditto for Eddie Goldman per bears (2nd rd)
- Kyle WIlliams per Buffalo -
otherwise looking back at past drafts, you're more likely will have to just have to hit on your 1st or 2nd round pick on that impact DT (much like Trysten Hill was counted on to be in the 2nd round)
- Chris jones - 2nd round
- JJ watts 1st
- Aaron Donald 1st
- Fletcher Cox 1st
- Ndamukong Suh 1st
- Gerald McCoy 1st
- Marcell Dareus -Buff 1st
- Kwann Short Car- 2nd rd
