Cowboys sign Saints FA DE Payton Turner to a 1-year, $3 million deal

Lots of teams were looking for Julius Peppers, Mario Williams types - basketball power forward length with a mean streak to wear down tackles. The silver lining is the Saints are not the only team that missed on this archetype. Far from it. Lots of 6’5”-6’7”, 245-265lb guys who were picked high just didn’t make it for whatever reason.
Oh yeah and I get it. You hit on a DE that's strong as run defender and pass rusher and you're set for a decade. I think they don't make it because they're too stiff, like Foskey. If you can't bend the edge and you're not freakishly strong to consistently win with a bull rush then you're never going to really do much as a pass rushing DE. Plus I don't think their bodies can handle it. They're playing beyond the edge of what the human body is built for.
