Dallas Cowboys: 3 defensive lineman to consider in the 2021 NFL Draft
By Walter Sharp
Dallas Cowboys DL No. 1
Darius Stills, IDL, West Virginia
The Dallas Cowboys front seven has been dominated at the line of scrimmage consistently all season long. Dallas has struggled to get leverage on opposing offensive lineman. There has been some success towards the end of the 2020 NFL Season.
The Dallas Cowboys may be reaching by selecting Darius Stills with the 10th pick in the first round but he brings a great skill set. Stills has shown at West Virginia that he can use natural leverage to his advantage. He also possesses great hand strength to shed blocks and get to the quarterback or running back.
Darius Stills would provide the Cowboys front seven with an interior defensive lineman that can generate pressure consistently. His motor is always on and never runs out of gas. Stills has also shown the ability to chase down plays outside the tackle box. Dallas would be getting a interior defensive lineman that can contribute in his rookie season to their front seven.
Stills would be giving the Cowboys something they had been lacking all year long an interior defensive lineman that can put pressure on the quarterback. Also would be giving the Cowboys a young defensive talent that will play with a lot of heart. Although it may be a reach for the Cowboys to take him with the 10th pick but they could be finding a diamond.
