The Dallas Cowboys opted not to try to wait for Florida DT Sharrif Floyd in the first round of the NFL Draft because he didn’t fit their new defensive scheme. Floyd would be selected by the Minnesota Vikings. ‘In our system, we probably would put a premium on a quick-twitch potential 3-technique,’ owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. ‘We view him as not that, but certainly maybe capable of getting there. So that is a case where our system, our switch from the 3-4 where he was obviously a nose tackle – had a lot of promise.’
