The Dallas Cowboys took in a serious influx of talent over NFL draft weekend. In total, they picked 11 rookies in the talent grab and signed another 10 in the undrafted free agent free-for-all.
In reality, only a handful will actually make their presence felt in the first season. With 21 total rookies fighting for roster spots and the number of active players sitting at 97, there simply isn t enough room for many of them to make it through camp.

Due to the specific non-NFL role that Malik Herring was asked to play at Georgia, his week at the Senior Bowl had one of the bigger potential influences on draft stock of any player in the class. Unfortunately for the player caught between the traditional size of a defensive tackle and defensive end, he tore his right ACL and had to pull out of the week early.
Now, Herring s positional projection questions come with added recovery time, which did not help his draft case. At the moment, he should be viewed as a potential rosterable player who may need a year on the practice squad in 2021 before he can be slated for a full 17 games at the NFL level.

Relatively inexperienced, he is a rosterable defensive tackle with upside that is rare to find for developmental projects.
