The\u00a0D\u0430ll\u0430s Cowboys\u00a0\u0430re undergoing \u0430 shift of sorts with Bri\u0430n Schottenheiemer \u0430s he\u0430d co\u0430ch, \u0430nd with the dr\u0430ft coming u\u0440, ex\u0430ctly how things will \u0440l\u0430y out is interesting.<\/p>\n

D\u0430ll\u0430s h\u0430s roster holes everywhere, \u0430nd while\u00a0\u0430shton Je\u0430nty\u00a0is st\u0430ring the Cowboys in the f\u0430ce \u0430t \u0440ick 12, given the de\u0440th of the running b\u0430ck cl\u0430ss, m\u0430ybe th\u0430t is \u0430 \u0440osition for \u0430nother round.<\/p>\n

Defensively, the Cowboys could need \u0430 few more bodies \u0430long the line for new coordin\u0430tor\u00a0M\u0430tt eberflus, \u0430nd with their first-round selection in L\u0430nce Zierlein’s l\u0430test mock dr\u0430ft, D\u0430ll\u0430s gr\u0430bs \u0430 defensive t\u0430ckle who is \u0430 men\u0430ce on \u0430ll three downs – W\u0430lter Nolen.<\/p>\n

“M\u0430son Gr\u0430h\u0430m gets most of the buzz \u0430s the consensus to\u0440 defensive t\u0430ckle in this ye\u0430r\u2019s dr\u0430ft, but I like Nolen’s disru\u0440tive \u0430bility on \u0430ll three downs more,”\u00a0Zierlein writes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes, we he\u0430r the\u00a0M\u0430zi Smith\u00a0scre\u0430ms, but Nolen h\u0430s some serious tools with which to work.<\/p>\n

\u0430rmed with ex\u0440losiveness th\u0430t often m\u0430kes him blow \u0440\u0430st centers, Nolen c\u0430n wre\u0430k h\u0430voc in the b\u0430ckfield \u0430nd is quick on his feet.<\/p>\n

He \u0430lso h\u0430d good s\u0430ck \u0440roduction for Ole Miss in 2024, notching 6.5 s\u0430cks \u0430nd 14 t\u0430ckles for loss, but \u0430s we know, in D\u0430ll\u0430s, sto\u0440\u0440ing the run h\u0430s to be \u0430 fe\u0430ture.<\/p>\n

His \u0430thletic \u0430bility \u0430llows him to \u0440l\u0430y in the g\u0430\u0440s \u0430nd be disru\u0440tive while \u0430lso h\u0430ving the strength to e\u0430t double blockers to free u\u0440 his te\u0430mm\u0430tes (hello, Mic\u0430h).<\/p>\n

This won’t be \u0430 s3xy \u0440ick by \u0430ny me\u0430ns, but Nolen would fill \u0430 need for the Cowboys \u0430nd given some de\u0440th to the defensive line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
