Would the Cowboys consider a NT in rd 1?

[Cowboyny]

Yes double dip for both defensive tackle and running back.

Which is why I have been looking at the top veteran receivers

 

[cnuball21]

Wouldn’t call him a great pass rusher, but a good one for that position, best he had was 5.5 sacks

But he was a pressure machine. A NT in the 4-6 sack range that can create a high number of pressures while playing good run D is a pro bowler IMO.

I think Grant has Rush upside, not just a run plugger

I see the Rams claimed Forbes. The Cowboys were ahead of them in waiver claims. The Cowboys must not have the money to take a flyer on him.

Or they talked to Quinn and found out wasn’t worth the claim

I still have Graham, Harmon as the top 2, just saying if they are off the board, there are still DT’s that are very attractive and serve as big upgrades at the position

Forbes has a 30% missed tackle rate this year.

Oh I agree…the athleticism traits are there I just want the actual production.

I can’t find anything for this season but last season Grant had a 9.9% pass rush win rate. For perspective this year Harmon’s is 18%.

100% - I just dont we force a DT just bc we need one. I think a good one will
be there in the 2nd.

Have you watched TJ Sanders yet? Just stumbled across him today and looks like another quality player. More of a 3T though.

 

[gtb1943]

we must get a real monster at NT if we are EVER going to have a top D that actually plays like it when it matters

I really like him, balanced but more of a top 75 prospect

they are different type of lineman, keep in mind Grant is over 340 where Harmon is much lighter, quicker

 

[McKDaddy]

I couldn't care less if a true NT doesn't provide pass rush. Give me a dude that commands the interior of the line & we should draft him #1 overall if needed. Better yet spend two high picks and get two dudes.

How long do we have to watch teams that are softer than Charmin up the middle?

I don’t think Quinn is talking to the Joneses about players when if he not careful could be playing the Cowboys for the final wildcard. Broaddus says the player development guys probably didn’t have a high grade on Forbes.

For sure, but Harmon gives you pass rush and run defense.

Him and Graham are the only top 15ish prospects in the class for me so likely the only ones I’d be happy with if we go that route in the first.

 

[Doomsday]

They need to do whatever it takes to free up Parsons, Overshown, etc. to go after the QB.

Would the Cowboys consider a NT in rd 1?

I have a better question, why wouldn't they?
