The Dallas Cowboys continue to explore options to bolster their defense after securing wide receiver George Pickens. A glaring need remains at defensive tackle, particularly in run defense where they ranked 30th last season. They drafted UCLA's Jay Toia late in the draft but may benefit from adding a veteran presence. DJ Reader from the Detroit Lions is a potential target, especially as a possible cut candidate due to Detroit's roster dynamics and recent signings. Reader's past performance shows strong run-defense grades which could significantly enhance the Cowboys' defensive lineup and address last season's deficiencies.
