FRISCO -- What seemed like an interminable wait came to an end a little after eight o'clock Friday evening when the Cowboys jumped into the proceedings.
Three safeties the team invited to the Star before the draft and contemplated selecting in the second round were still available at No. 58 when Dallas went on the clock. Club officials didn't blink.
They took defensive tackle Trysten Hill from Central Florida.
The decision underscores yet again what the Cowboys value on defense. Someone to pressure the quarterback, either on the edge or inside at the three-technique that Hill will play, takes precedence over a safety.
