Kind of. They still need linebacker help and a pass rusher, but they added Gary, who they believe is a better fit in the system of new defensive coordinator Christian Parker over last season\u2019s sack leader, Jadeveon Clowney. Thompson\u2019s versatility is a major plus because he can cover up a few holes. Durant doesn\u2019t have ideal height at 5-foot-11, but he takes the ball away and that\u2019s what this defense needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">One thing we heard: The 49ers initially thought the Cowboys were willing to trade Odighizuwa for monetary purposes and were offering a Day 3 pick in return. When they were informed the Cowboys were willing to keep Odighizuwa, the Niners gave up the No. 92 pick. As a result, the Cowboys added their first Day 2 pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Biggest remaining roster hole: Middle linebacker. They were in on Quay Walker, Nakobe Dean and Devin Lloyd but could not close a deal. They had tepid interest in the remaining free agents and now found themselves looking for a trade partner for a veteran. The Cowboys would rather not go into the season with a rookie serving as the \u201cgreen dot\u201d for their defense. &#8212; Todd Archer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Did the Cowboys hit their free agency goals?
