Post-Draft Free Agent Strategy
Discussion begins on how the Cowboys should continue building their roster after the draft, focusing on defensive line and linebacker upgrades.
Defensive Tackle Options
“He's a big, strong dude. And I think just having another veteran body on this defensive line, he would bring a lot of extra power in the middle of that defense.”
Edge Rusher Additions
“Van Noy makes a ton of sense...because of the reasons you talked about. We've talked about how the Cowboys are going to like to stem their line a little bit.”
Linebacker Depth and Veteran Leadership
“He is relentless coming downhill. And honestly, I think he would fit well with Overshown and Dee Winters, like two smaller guys.”
