The fact that the organization at least FINALLY acknowledged the importance of this type of player by trading for Hankins is a step in the right direction. Perhaps they actually go out and draft/sign a premier BIG DT in the near future.
Good point John......

Dallas has at least finally recognized that they need to have one of those big boys in the middle if they want to have a really good defense.
Drafting Bohanna and Ridgway, plus signing Hankins are all signs of that and a step in the right direction.

Now they need to focus on going out to get the next great one.

Don't look now but the Giants are quietly putting together a dominant front 4..........three 1st round picks.



giants have always traditionally invested in their DL. that's why they could let guys like tomlinson walk. it' their misses on the OL in the draft and FA that have hampered their team growth imo.

I wonder if Dallas will give serious consideration to the kid from Baylor? It is vital to have some big boys in the middle who can disrupt and move folks out of the paint.

You look at the final 4 teams in the NFC, despite our defense ranking highly this year we actually have the weakest front in the field. Niners, Eagles and Giants have all gotten to this point by leaning on their front line. Trenches matter, and Dallas needs to continue to invest there heavily if they want to remain competitive in their own division. Even Washington has a dominant front 4, they’re a QB away from taking the next step. Now is not the time for the Jones boys to get cute, we need nasty and physicality on both lines.

We were eliminated last year because we couldn’t match the physicality of the Niners. A year later and it’s still the biggest concern going into this matchup.

Issue here is pickig bottom 10 inmany drafts with maybe one of these avaible per draft its tough to draft one, niow FA is risk but maybe we get one there..just saying NT/DT1 is one of the most thin positions in every draft,,not like wr/rb/db where there many opeitons all over the draft so deep with skill players not premier grade a cant miss nts..
