The Dallas Cowboys select Alim McNeill, DT, NC State
Last season, the Cowboys struggled to stop the run. New defensive Coordinator Mike Nolan’s 4-3 scheme should simplify things for the defense, but the Cowboys still have a big need for talent along the line. McNeill will come in and immediately bolster the unit as a talented 1-Tech who fits the scheme like a glove. McNeill is an above average run defender and very capable pass rusher from the inside.
Some other teams may be surprised by this pick. McNeill is a bit controversial in the fact that some teams and scouts have him ranked as high as an early 2nd round pick (including the Cowboys) while others have him rated as low as a mid-4th. The Cowboys don’t care, they got their guy.
