Voch Lombardi joins the show to discuss which center option would be the best for the Dallas Cowboys in Round 1? Plus, is Oklahoma RT Tyler Guyton a first-rounder?
The Dallas Cowboys have an opportunity to address their roster deficiencies at the NFL draft, but they will need a strong class after an inactive offseason., the NFL draft is just around the corner. After starting the offseason in a slumber, the annual draft finally gives the organization the jolt that 31 other fanbases have already enjoyed, with a roster ready for an infusion of talent.
Despite not owning a pick in round 4, the Cowboys do have seven total selections, with two picks in the seventh round. These are their current picks in each round:While it’s great to have a full complement of picks, not having one on the fourth-round hurts, and their selections in the fifth and sixth rounds are compensatory picks, which means they come at the back end of those respective rounds. That’s not a ton of draft capital for a team that lost five starters this offseason.
Or, if the Cowboys see a better player at a different position worthy of the pick later than the 24th overall selection, they could trade back, get a prospect they love and still find offensive line help in the next few rounds. Either way, the team should have no trouble finding a quality player to boost the OL no matter where they select, so making a trade back and adding picks would be an optimal choice.
It’s a big reason for why the Cowboys desperately need to move down from the 24th selection and add more picks. Using a premium pick on an RB when they have other needs, and no fourth-round pick, is a bad combination. The team must find a way to add draft assets to offset using a high pick on an RB.While the Cowboys have some gaping holes on the roster, they shouldn’t ignore the ‘best player available’ strategy.
The same goes at pass rusher, there’s Parsons, and veteran DeMarcus Lawrence, but not much waiting in the wings. Sam Williams, a 2022 second-round pick, has his shot to shine now and looks like he can be a solid rotational piece, but there’s little help behind him.
