Some inside Dallas\u2019 building were stumping hard for fourth-round offensive lineman Drew Shelton — as early as Day 2. The coaching staff is high on Shelton\u2019s ceiling. \u201cOnly so few humans can play tackle in the NFL, and he\u2019s one of them,\u201d a team source said. \u201cSuper athletic.\u201d The Cowboys have a history of drafting successful offensive linemen.<\/p>\n
UCF edge Malachi Lawrence was one of two primary players under consideration for Dallas at No. 23. A rival team believed the Cowboys might be considering Keldric Faulk, but a Dallas source says that wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n
The team was high on Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson. Did the threat of taking a receiver high play a role in George Pickens agreeing to sign his franchise tag hours before the draft? Hard to know for certain, but it\u2019s not out of the realm of possibilities. This feels far from over.<\/p>\n
A Cowboys source also says the team did not receive a call from Pittsburgh about the 20th pick. The Steelers were planning to take Makai Lemon before the Eagles traded up to the Cowboys\u2019 No. 20 spot to select him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some inside Dallas\u2019 building were stumping hard for fourth-round offensive lineman Drew Shelton — as early as Day…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273073,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,7011,104,103],"class_list":["post-273072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-cowboys-draft","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
