Dallas has had inconsistent play from their interior defensive line play for a while now. This impact is felt from the 3-tech position in even fronts or the 5-tech position in odd fronts where their main duties are to either gap control or get after the QB. Given the hybrid system of Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, this has the likes of DTs Neville Gallimore, Trysten Hill, Carlos Watkins, Osa Odighizuwa and DE DeMarcus Lawrence all play both roles effectively.
Although these players contributed a fair amount last season, Dallas still lacks a dominant force up the middle to get after the QB. This draft class may not have top-tier talent coming from the interior, but has plenty of guys who have heaps of talent and potential. Here are a few names to look out for when Dallas is on the clock each day of the 2022 NFL Draft.
