Overall, compared to previous years, this year's defensive tackle class looks a little disappointing from a Production Ratio perspective.

We've already marveled at Kawann Short in the previous post on defensive ends, but he wasn't a perfect fit at 3-4 DE. For a 4-3 defense though, he's a great fit, and with the switch to the new scheme as well as question marks surrounding Jay Ratliff's potential and future, Kawann Short must be considered one of the top prospects for the Cowboys in the 2013 draft.

Most reports indicate that he has had work-ethic issues; otherwise, he should be a 1st round pick just based on talent, IMO.

#18 seems really high, but it's doubtful that he makes it to #50. Trade down?

I have a problem with rat playing a 1tech and not 3.
