The Cowboys made history in the draft by choosing two offensive linemen in the top 100 picks, an unusual move for the franchise. This decision was motivated by the strong draft class of offensive linemen. The team also selected Marshawn Kneeland, drawing comparisons to veteran DeMarcus Lawrence.
The draft class also included Marist Liufau, Caelen Carson, Ryan Flournoy, and Justin Rogers, showcasing a mix of offensive and defensive talent for the Cowboys.
