Damien Wilson to Dallas Cowboys: Full Draft-Pick Breakdown

In the fourth round, the Cowboys selected a versatile linebacker who will play a big role on special teams. Sound familiar? It should, because the Cowboys did exactly that a year ago with Anthony Hitchens and continued that trend by selecting Minnesota's Damien Wilson.
