This defense needs a true stabilizer on the back end, and that’s why I have landed on Dillon Thieneman as the 20th pick in the first-round for the Cowboys. Safety isn’t always the pick that excites people on draft night, but it’s the pick you appreciate a lot more once the season starts. I like safeties who win the mental side of the game and Thieneman does this on a regular basis. That alone has value late in the first round. I’d Be Comfortable Taking Thieneman Late in Round OneIf Dallas uses its first pick on a pass rusher or linebacker, I would have no issue following it up with Thieneman.

Europe’s 38 per cent tariff was imposed when Chinese EVs went from being about one per cent of EVs sold in 2019 to more than 50 per cent by 2023.
