Dallas Cowboys Draft: Five Defensive Tackle Prospects You Need to Know

Round four has three names to look for, Jason Strowbridge, Jordan Elliott and Leki Fotu. Strowbridge might be better at a three man front defensive end, Elliott may not have the length the Cowboys want, so Fotu will be the pick for fit here. He has the pass rush and size, and would be a really good pickup in the fourth round.

Note: Round five is really thin and Tyler Clark or Benito Jones are really the only two names there.

Fotu has a really good first step and can create some havoc from the inside of the line. He has the size you would want from a 1-technique defensive tackle, but he isn’t the bock stacking guy that some others in this draft are. That all being said, if you want him to get upfield, Fotu is going to get upfield.

He will need work using his size in the run game better. He has some limitation due to his size and learning to get lower with his pads. He flashes stacking blocks, but isn’t consistent here yet and will need some work. He is a great rotational piece right away who can create pressure, and has the frame and flashes to be a steal as he develops.
