Cowboys news: Defensive tackle called the biggest roster need

There is one roster spot that seems very thin right now.

13) Is DT the most pressing need?

Nick Harris: Absolutely. As of now, there is not a 1-Tech on the roster that has proven that he can produce at the NFL level to replace what Johnathan Hankins brought in 2022-2023. Mazi Smith didn’t have the rookie season most expected, and with offseason shoulder surgery paired with a decrease in play weight, the expectations for him might need to start at a low level going into year two. Behind him, Carl Davis had his chance in 2023 to step up in place of Hankins and did not produce.
