The Dallas Cowboys entered the draft with no glaring needs, so the approach was to just pick the best players available. The front office decided to select Connor McGovern, a guard/center out of Penn State. McGovern was reportedly the highest rated player on the Cowboys’ board when their number was called late in the third round.
This was a questionable pick, considering that the offensive line is already one of the strongest units on the entire roster. The left tackle, right guard, and center position (most likely) are taken by Tyron Smith, Zack Martin, and Travis Frederick.
