The Dallas Cowboys had one of the worst run defenses in
the NFL last season. This unit gave up an average of
158.8 yards on the ground to opposing offenses per game
in 2020.To get more news about

To address their defensive issues, the Cowboys fired
their defensive coordinator of a single year in Mike
Nolan and replaced him with former Atlanta Falcons head
coach, Dan Quinn. Dallas also added veterans Carlos
Watkins and Brent Urban to the interior of their
defensive line via free agency.
But it was the 2021 NFL Draft where the biggest impact
was made to revamp the Cowboys’ defense. With what ended
up being 11 total draft picks, Dallas opted to use eight
of those selections on the defensive side of the ball.
That included their first six choices in the draft
starting with the selection of Penn State linebacker
Micah Parsons with the 12th overall pick.
The first choice to address the needs along the Cowboys’
defensive line didn’t take place until the third round.
That’s when Dallas made UCLA defensive tackle Osa
Odighizuwa their selection with the 75th overall pick.The
6-foot-2, 280-pound Odighizuwa recorded 30 tackles, 6.0
tackles for loss, and 4.0 sacks in seven games for the
Bruins as a senior in 2020. The year before, he played in
12 games and posted 46 combined tackles, 10.0 tackles for
loss, and 3.5 sacks.
Odighizuwa fits best in the NFL as a base end or at the
three-technique in four-man fronts. That sort of
versatility falls in line with the Cowboys planning to
play a base package that looks more like a 3-4 formation.
But they will have four-down men in Nickle coverage
according to Quinn.
Odighizuwa seems to fit a very similar mold of other
recent high-draft choices at defensive tackle in Trysten
Hill, the Cowboys second-round selection in 2019, and
Neville Gallimore, the team’s third-round pick in 2020.
But both HIll and Gallimore have lost their sponsors in
former defensive coordinators Rod Marinelli and Mike
Nolan respectively. Whereas Odighizuwa has been
handpicked for Quinn’s defensive scheme.Osa Odighizuwa
led a solid run defense at UCLA and should help to do the
same as a versatile defensive piece for a Dallas Cowboys
team in desperate need of consistent disruptors along the
line. In fact, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah believes
Odighizuwa could ultimately end up being the Cowboys’
best pick out of this draft class.
