1. Defensive Tackle

Lastly, the No. 1 need ahead of the 2019 NFL Draft for the Dallas Cowboys is at defensive tackle — with the three-technique remaining their biggest hole on the roster. This position was supposed to be filled in 2018 by David Irving, but things went south in that department last year.

Irving managed to play in just two games and has since been suspended by the NFL for not reporting to drug tests. He then released an Instagram video bashing the league’s anti-marijuana policy. He’s also had some choice words in regard to Jason Garrett since he left Dallas.

Looking beyond all that noise, the Cowboys are still in need of a player to generate a pass rush in the spot vacated by Irving. The good news is, they did fine without him a season ago. They also have more depth at defensive end, which could allow Tyrone Crawford to slide inside and fill the void until they find a young prospect to take over.

There are many options in the draft that make sense here which could include Gerald Willis, Kingsley Keke, John Cominsky, or Charles Omenihu. They could also consider Zach Allen from Boston College, but adding him would likely require a trade up.

Dallas has shown interest in all those above-listed players and they need to address the position as it remains their biggest need ahead of the draft.
