28. Dallas Cowboys
Taco Charlton . 28. player. 123. The Dallas Cowboys have had a devil of a time trying to figure out their problems on the defensive line over the past few years. They just can’t seem to find any star power in the group that hasn’t blown up in their faces. They’ve made due with try-hard types but when it comes to beating the best teams in the playoffs? Not going to get it done. This team needs a definitive pass rusher they can finally build around. <p>Taco Charlton emerged in a big way for Michigan in 2016. The long, powerful and explosive defensive end was a consistent force off the edge. He can hold the point of attack against the run but is even better when cut loose against the quarterback. He’s still just discovering how good he can be. Put him under the guidance of a wily, old school veteran like Rod Marinelli and the sky is the limit.</p>. DE. Michigan
