Every draft season there’s a call from Cowboys draftniks for Jerry Jones and Co. to draft a defensive tackle early in the draft. And this year, fired up by an early playoff exit and emboldened by Mike Zimmer reportedly wanting big bodies on his defensive line, those calls are getting louder, never mind that the Cowboys invested a first-round pick in the position just last year.
Of course, there’s no denying that the Cowboys could use an upgrade along the defensive line, but is it realistic to expect a rookie to fix what ails the Cowboys’ front four?
