Obviously the weakest part of our defense was interior DL. Undoubtedly, Dal will have to address the position via FA and/or the draft preferably. Unfortunately, Dal has more than one position on Defense that needs attention and possibly will garner a higher draft pick. That said.. if your looking for a mid round DT, more specifically a 1T, that will eat up space.. look no further..
You want Marvin Wilson (Florida State). 6’5” 310lbs
Everyone needs to get familiar with his name. He’s huge, has some pass rush ability, and stands his ground vs double teams. He’s strong at the point of attack, bats balls down, and stays active throughout the play. He’s exactly what Dal needs to shore up the DL. With Quinn’s simplified scheme.. Add Wilson, welcome a couple injured guys back, and sprinkle in a couple of low cost vets to complete.. this DL would change drastically.
Projections:
Tristen Hill was trending upward after a “growing up” phase rookie season. He was one of the few actually improving under Nolan’s complex scheme. DL coach Tomsula may have had more to do with his improvement though. On the other hand, Quinn has proven he can get more from lesser talent. Hill will be fine at 3T if healthy
Gallimore was a bright spot at DT as a rookie and should build on that success. There’s no reason to believe otherwise. His sophomore season will be exciting to watch, exp if he has a true 1T that commands double teams and allows him to cont to win one-on-one matchups.
McCoy was exactly what Dal envisioned before his injury. All reports was that he really was working with the young guys, as they gravitated to his work ethic and tutelage. Imo, he still is very capable, unlike Poe, to be disruptive and definitely wouldn’t be a detriment. Rumor has it that Dallas has a handshake deal to come back. I’m good with it if the money is right.
Supposedly, there’s going to be a plethora of DTs available in FA. If so, signing another veteran (or two) would be ideal to fortify our run defense. No matter whom they decide is the right fit.. I believe you can’t go wrong starting with a big/nasty 1T like Wilson.
Voch does a great job reviewing him here:
Fill free to add any other “Mid Round” DT in this draft that you feel is worthy. I love the speculation
