Cowboys on the list:
93. Brian Price, Dallas Cowboys
Snap Quickness: 13/25
Pass Rush: 13/25
Run Defense: 14/25
Tackling: 8/15
Position Value: 7/10
Overall Grade: 55/100
Price displays competitive toughness, stout run defense and adequate snap quickness. He does well taking on double-teams and creating stalemates using strength, physicality and hand usage to keep his chest clear. His pad level can be inconsistent, which causes him to lose leverage against outside zone. Effective stabs by releasing offensive linemen on outside-zone combos will seal him inside, and he doesn't show the lateral quickness to expand and win the outside shoulder against reach blocks. Price is a limited pass-rusher who is primarily a two-down 1-technique.
68. Maliek Collins, Dallas Cowboys
Snap Quickness: 16/25
Pass Rush: 14/25
Run Defense: 12/25
Tackling: 9/15
Position Value: 7/10
Overall Grade: 58/100
Collins played 0- and 3-technique this season with below-average ability as a run defender and flashes rushing the passer. His best fit is as a 3-technique. His snap quickness, burst and play strength are all impressive, but his hand usage and pad level are marginal. He often gets pinned and overrun on double-teams, struggles to maintain leverage or shed once blockers get into his chest, and he is primarily effective as a run blitzer when he can stunt across gaps and penetrate. Collins has a solid spin move and club as a pass-rusher, but he lacks an effective counter or bull rush.
52. David Irving, Dallas Cowboys
Snap Quickness: 15/25
Pass Rush: 15/25
Run Defense: 13/25
Tackling: 11/15
Position Value: 7/10
Overall Grade: 61/100
Irving has a huge frame with long arms and room to add weight. He's athletic and offers closing burst in space. The 24-year-old is effective as a 1-technique rushing the passer, using light feet to work around the edges of interior offensive linemen with the length to get into their chest to control and shed. He has the awareness to use his length in passing lanes, and he's effective hanging back to monitor scrambling quarterbacks. Irving is an adequate run defender at the point due to inconsistent pad level against double-teams, which allows him to get moved around with ease. He's most effective as a run blitzer stunting to adjacent gaps.
