This might be the worst defensive tackle class in years

Just read an article on the Athletic, which I cannot post, but it was from Bob McGinn breaking down the positional group.

Been saying for awhile, Barmore is only being considered a 1st rd pick cause of the lack of talent at the position, showing up late and the helmet he wears. If he was so good, why was he playing half of the snaps? He is not like some of the former Bama players at the position. In my opinion, a 2nd rd talent with upside, similar to Davis from the Chiefs.

What do we have after him?

Onzuk (opt out), Nixon (1 yr wonder with character concerns), Tufele (another opt out that needs work), Wilson (coming off of a terrible yr, always hurt), Togiai (1 yr of production/tweener), Milton Williams (workout warrior, who couldn't dominate, low level competition)

It's an awful class, without any stars whatsoever. Personally, I really like McNeal, but not until rd 3 at the earliest. Hope this team doesn't reach to fill a need. I much rather take an inside/outside DE and look to add a 1T on day 3.
 
It really is a bad year for DTs. I think the value is in late round 3 or 4, with the likes of McNeil, Tufele, Togiai, Shelvin, Tui....All decent prospects who can start out as role players. But the talent at the top is baaaaad
 
I think this entire draft is a weak draft. There are a few really good position players and the QB getting a lot of attention, but otherwise this draft is a bigger crap shoot than usual. The Cowboys are going to need a little luck to go with a lot of preparation.

Its brutal...I like McNeil the most but after him it’s a bunch of question marks.

The talks of Barmore at 10 or even in a trade down are absolutely insane to me.

Yeah, that’s a no on Barmore for me too. I’ve never been on the “draft Barmore” bandwagon.

I just don’t see it with him.

I agree on McNeil. I really like him at 1T.

I doubt more than 3 DT's from this end up as more than role players. I do think there are alot of nice role players, but still role players.

Wouldnt break my heart if we punt and go after Richardson for a year after the draft
 
Bobby Brown(6-4,325) DT Texas A& M
Ran a 4.9 forty recorded 5 or 6 sacks in 2020.

Jonathan Marshall(6-3,315)DT Arkansas ran a 4.75 forty at 315 lbs also did 36 reps on the bench of 225 lbs.
i love bobby brown.
always stood out to me when i watched A&M.
back-home country strong and can move.
maybe im off my nut...but he's gonna be a good'n.
 
texas a&m has several players i like.
dt bobby brown
lb buddy johnson
lb anthony hines
ot carson green
s leon o'neal
 
Bobby Brown just has to get with the right DL coach to make his motor stay hot for more than 50% of the time. This kid is OOOOOOZING stud 1T qualities w/ some pass-rush ability. I’d take him at 99 and wouldn’t care what ANYBODY had to say. That size with that arm length on a player that does well with leverage is the DREAM at 1T/NT.
