It’s not like Dallas had no players on defense or never tried to build around Micah.
When they drafted Micah, they had D-Law, Randy Gregory and Osa on DL. They also had LVE at LB. Their secondary was stacked with Diggs, Brown, Kearse and Lewis.
Now, Gregory and LVE didn’t work out, but the rest remained constants. They even landed some more secondary players in Bland and Donovan Wilson.
They tried to continue building the DL with draft picks like Mazi and Dorance Armstrong. The latter has been a starter in the league since leaving Dallas. They also tried free agents like Hankins and Anthony Barr.
Overall, aside from trading a 1st for Q Williams, the defense doesn’t look much different from how it always has. Now, we’re hoping some young guys like EZE and Malachi break out, the same way we were hoping for Mazi and Armstrong. We’re hoping some veterans like Gary play well, the same way we were hoping with Hankins and Barr. We’re hoping the next crop of CBs steps up.
The biggest difference between now and the past 5 years is we essentially swapped Micah for Q. We still have the same question marks we’ve always had. We’re just wearing rose colored glasses because of our all new draft picks, the same way we had for Mazi Smith.
