The Draft

After the T. Smith trade, it looks like the Boys will look to bolster both the offensive and defensive line in the draft.

With their pick at #16 acquired from Philly, the Boys selected standout DE Shonn Ellison our of TAMU. Lots were shocked he dropped so low as he was very high on many lists.  We expect him to start and start early and get after QBs. He joined a very talented and young d-line and he will only improve it.

The cowboys chose to go o-line with their next two picks. No real standout names, but we expect RG Brock Sweet to possibly start as well. Both players will need to develop quickly in this league to continue the success of the Zeke Elliot rushing attack.

With the 4th pick, the Cowboys went with a RB. No doubt for injury purposes if Zeke or Pollard go down. He will probably not see much playing team aside from special teams. The boys also selected a project DT that fits the scheme and could be used in a rotation or possibly sit on the practice squad a year or two.

Cowboys went FS and FB in round 5&6 to fill some depth holes. Neither is expected to start and probably will end up on the practice squad.
