The Dallas Cowboys rounded out their Day 2 activity of the 2020 NFL Draft with another defensive steal. It’s been a very good draft weekend thus far when it comes to maximizing value. On the heels of selecting WR CeeDee Lamb with the No. 17 pick on Thursday and CB Trevon Diggs with the No. 51 pick earlier in the evening, the defensive line got their newest addition at pick No. 82.
Returning back to Norman, the Cowboys selected defensive tackle Nevin Gallimore. The 6-foot-2, 302 pound lineman is a quick-twitch nose tackle; a one-technique who is routinely the fastest lineman off the snap. While he doesn’t always get to the quarterback, he does that plenty enough and will still compromise the OL’s integrity when he doesn’t.
That’s a big deal for a team which routinely saw their defensive ends double teamed in 2019. Gallimore adds to the Cowboys’ new commitment to the defensive interior under new coordinator Mike Nolan and vaunted defensive line guru Jim Tomsula. He’ll work magic with a player with the athletic skillset Gallimore possesses.
pretty sure this being your rotational 1-tech with Dontari space-eating Poe is going to make Cowboys fans very excited come the next real-life foozball game.https://t.co/WsFmPLiiuc
