Dallas Cowboys: 5 One-technique targets in 2018 NFL Draft
By Randy Gurzi
3. Deadrin Senat, South Florida
Another guy on the shorter side here as we look at Deadrin Senat. The UCF product is a plyer to root for as he tells about his upbringing in a FanSided blog. On that blog, Senat opens up about the death of his mother when he was a teenager and how he took it upon himself to care for his pregnant sister.

Senat should hear his name called during the 2018 NFL Draft and likely climbed up the boards since playing well at the Senior Bowl. Senat went from a rotational guy to one recording 66 tackles and six sacks as a redshirt senior in 2017.
He’s a feel-good story and any Dallas fan should be happy to root for him if the team does make him a selection in April.
2. Derrick Nnadi, Florida State
Florida State has turned out some pretty solid NFL prospects throughout the years and Derrick Nnadi looks to be another good one. He won’t offer a ton in the pass rush department, although he did have six sacks as a junior which shows he can make plays if they’re there. What Nnadi can be though is a one-technique player that offensive lines have to keep an eye on.

Nnadi finished with 165 career tackles. He looked to be a potential first-round pick heading into his senior season, but wasn’t as dangerous rushing the passer in 2017. That could help a team like Dallas, who would do well snatching a player like this up in Round 4.
