Fifth-Round Pick: (178th overall)- Jayden Peevy, Defensive Tackle, Texas A&M

With the last pick in the fifth-round Dallas finally addresses the interior defensive line with Jayden Peevy from Texas A&M. Peevy is a big-bodied defensive tackle that will be used as a three-technique (lined up on the outside shoulder guard).

Peevy has great size for the position, standing at 6-6 and weighing 315 pounds. His arms are very long, too, which helps him shed blockers. The former Aggie had six tackles for loss last season and has had at least five TFL in each of his last three college seasons.

Dallas has tried to add help to the defensive line over the past few years and here is another lottery ticket for the position. At worst, Peevy should be able to contribute on special teams in which he had four blocked kicks throughout his college career.
