When Jerry and Stephen Jones talked with the media on Tuesday during the press conference for Dak Prescott’s new contract, the junior of the two mentioned the need to beef up the Dallas defense now that their quarterback was locked up. That’s been the biggest focus this offseason so far when discussing the Cowboys, who replaced defensive coordinator Mike Nolan with Dan Quinn after a historically bad outing on that side of the ball.
There are question marks at every level of this group. The defensive line has a star in DeMarcus Lawrence, and Randy Gregory was looking better each week, but depth on the edges is a problem, as well as the interior of the line not having any clear top dogs, despite the promising glimpses from both Trysten Hill and Neville Gallimore this past season.
