Hamsah Nasirildeen could be safety solution for Cowboys
The new league year is set to begin on March 17th along with Free Agency and while the Cowboys top priority is getting a long term deal
Where He Fits
With the Cowboys adopting a true Cover 3 scheme with Dan Quinn taking over as the defensive coordinator, it is of high priority to find their safety who has the range and ball skills to play in the deep MOF.
Donovan Wilson flashed his playmaking ability last year so it would be ideal to pair a cover safety with him but Nasirildeen can do a little bit of both. He can drop down in the box an be an effective run defender in sub packages. Quinn has success drafting tweener players who can man multiple positions, such as Deion Jones and Keanu Neal. Nasirildeen might be a projection as deep third safety but his athleticism, length, versatility, and ability to play in space make him an intriguing option for a defense that lacks athleticism.
He has the upside to become a quality starter and if those flashes of ball skills translate he could be a Pro Bowl type player. Most draft analyst have Nasirildeen as a Day 2 player, an ideal place for the Cowboys to target him.
