Texas Longhorns defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat has been connected to the Dallas Cowboys throughout the draft process. Understandably so, as Sweat would fill an immediate need on the interior of the defensive line. The Cowboys lost defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins in free agency when he chose to sign with the Seattle Seahawks. This left a wide hole in their interior line, cutting even deeper into their Achilles heel on defense. The Cowboys have struggled to defend the run, especially in the second half of their last few seasons.
From a player perspective, Sweat seems like a match made in heaven for the Cowboys defensive line.
