"The Dallas Cowboys made a big splash this week when they traded for New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. The former Alabama stud defender was highly coveted coming out of college, which is why he was selected third overall in the 2019 NFL draft. He's been sensational from the onset. Despite being known as a run-stopping specialist, he has surprisingly good pass-rushing skills, racking up at least 5.5 sacks in each of the last five seasons."
"Some are questioning his talent, oddly, because his sack total this season sits at a measly one sack. This is his seventh season in the pros, so many are already labeling him in a "decline" state, but there is no physical evidence to suggest such. He's 27 years old and has plenty of good years left. If you look at six-time Pro Bowler Chris Jones from the Kansas City Chiefs, he didn't earn his first first-team All-Pro until the age of 28,"
The Dallas Cowboys traded for Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, surrendering the better 2027 first-round pick and a 2026 second-round pick. Williams was the third overall pick in 2019 and excels as an interior run-stopper with unexpected pass-rush ability, posting at least 5.5 sacks each of the last five seasons and 12 sacks in 2022 that earned first-team All-Pro. Draft pick depreciation makes the 2027 first roughly equivalent to a 2026 second, effectively valuing the trade at two second-round picks. At 27 years old, Williams shows no physical signs of decline, and tape highlights sound fundamentals, instincts, and versatile skills that strengthen the Cowboys' interior defensive line.
