Cowboys Snag LT Overton, Boost Defensive Line

0:00On April 25, Dallas Cowboys just beefed up their defensive line in the 2026 NFL draft, snagging LT Overton from Alabama in the 4th. Round. He's locked in for a 4-year deal worth $5.03 million dollars straight from spot rack numbers. Overton kicked off college ball at Texas A&M before transferring to Alabama in 2024, where he really locked down that tight front. Last season alone, he racked up 4 sacks, 42 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, and 4 quarterback hurries over 13 games. Across two years of BAMMA, that's 84 tackles, 9 for loss, 6 sacks total, solid production after his earlier Aggie days. Coming out of high school in Georgia, this five-star stud was ranked top 12 nationally, top 4 defensive lineman, and a state beast. No wonder, teams eyeed him early. Scouts see him as a tweener with power and hip explosion to disrupt blockers, but a slower get off and lateral speed might push him inside to tackle. Long-term, kind of like some recent 4th round success stories, Cowboys banking on that upside
