The Cowboys wouldn’t go back-to-back linebackers in the first round, would they? Utah star linebacker Devin Lloyd may just be worth that level of investment at the position. The two-time First-Team All-Pac 12 backer was also the winner of the Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year and was an AP Consensus All-American.
If there’s a player who’s worth doubling up on to match with Micah Parsons, Lloyd certainly has the bona fides to warrant such a move. Lloyd redshirted his freshman year then appeared in limited fashion over three games in 2018. Ever since he’s been lights out. But does that production mean that he’ll be a star in the pros? Would he be right for Dallas? A closer look at the situation is in order.
