The Dallas Cowboys have talked a lot about being tougher, more disciplined, and stronger in the trenches this offseason. Their actions in free agency only somewhat matched the talk we heard earlier in the offseason. After adding Dante Fowler, Solomon Thomas, and Payton Turner in free agency to the defensive line, the Cowboys looked to boost their pass rush, but they did not have many additions to boost their ability to stop the run.
With Mazi Smith being the only 1-technique on the roster with NFL time under his belt, the Cowboys will need to add someone in the 2025 NFL draft that can compete with Smith for starting reps and provide quality depth.
