Problem is we have other needs and as much as I crave DTs if you go with one in the first, I have to come away with another priority position in 2nd.

Hence why I can live with a stud like Graham and then maybe come back in 3rd or 4th with a high energy, 3T type in Howard Cross.

As for Odi my assumption is he is not going to cost much to bring back, but who knows.
I would love for the cowboys to draft mason
Graham but I fear the front office would try to get him to drop down to 280 and play him as a three tech

notre dame has a couple dt's i like...howard cross and rylie mills.
i think cross is the better of the 2...especially vs the run.
i think mills has played well these last 2 seasons...can generate a pass rush from inside.
love his size.

Mills is just not big enough to do it in the pros like he does in college.

Probably a mid rounder, but look out for CJ West. All Mac 1st team player before transferring to Indiana where’s picked up right were he left off as an imposing force in the middle. Not the flashiest guy but is a straight up dog fighting in the trenches

probably get him in the fourth or fifth. I like how he is short but heavy. that is a good thing for a DT. He can more easily get under a taller OL player

I like West alot. I do agree with gtb that he is probably a 4th. Especially in this draft thats very deep with big DT's. I think he's a big 3T more than a 1T. But if you are rotationing DT's having a big penetrator can be a huge advantage

They need to open the damn wallet and sign two proven DTs since they clearly can’t identify good ones in the draft…in ANY round.

I’ll hold my breath.

Meanwhile they continue to get gashed on the ground and scratch their heads as to why.

Graham is about as sure a thing as you can get as far as DT's. He was probably a better DT in HS than Smith is now
Nolan Smith was the top rated DT coming out of high school. Michigan is bad juju at this point. Go get the 6'6 behemoth from Kentucky.
