How Christian Parker’s Defensive Overhaul Could Reshape the NFL Draft Landscape Forever

“If you can stop the run, you can get teams in predictable downs.”

Expect the Cowboys also to bring their outside linebackers to the line of scrimmage routinely, presenting five-man fronts that muddy quarterbacks’ defensive reads.

The Cowboys have already shifted some personnel to anchor the transition. The Cowboys dealt the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Parsons to the Green Bay Packers last August in exchange for two first-round draft picks and 6-3, 314-pound interior defender Kenny Clark.

The Cowboys then dealt first- and second-round picks and defensive tackle Mazi Smith to acquire 6-4, 303-pound defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets at the trade deadline. They traded a fourth-round pick for 6-5, 277-pound edge rusher Rashan Gary last month. And for a third-round pick, the Cowboy sent the 49ers the 6-2, 280-pound Osa Odighizuwa and his $20 million per year salary in a move that returns Odighizuwa to a 4-3 front where his size and speed can offer maximum value.
