Dallas Cowboys: 5 One-technique targets in 2018 NFL Draft
By Randy Gurzi
5. B.J. Hill, North Carolina State
The first guy we look at is North Carolina State’s B.J. Hill. He has excellent height and weight, which will surely draw the attention of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s also the kind of player they like at the position. Hill is athletic enough to cause problems at the position, but still is a player that relies mainly on strength to win.

Vitals
Height: 6-4
Weight: 311 pounds
Bench Press Reps: 35
40-Yard Dash: 4.99
While playing for the Wolfpack, Hill registered 183 total tackles with 23.5 going for a loss and eight sacks. He also got his hand in the way of nine passes while intercepting one pass as a freshman.
Hill is also right up the Boys alley in that he’s expected to be a mid-round pick. With their insistence that this position isn’t vitally important, looking at someone like Hill makes a lot of sense.
4. Taylor Stallworth, South Carolina
Next up is Taylor Stallworth out of South Carolina. He’s considered undersized, but at 6-foot-2, his height won’t be an issue at the next level, although some teams may believe that to be the case.
Vitals
Height: 6-2
Weight: 312 pounds
Bench Press Reps: 18
40-Yard Dash: 5.28
Stallworth had less bench reps than Hill and also was slower in the 40-yard dash. Even so, he’s always showed great strength and even some decent athleticism for such a stout player. Stallworth could very well be available in the later rounds, which makes him an ideal player for a tea like Dallas.
