With the 176th pick of the draft, one of the final picks in the fifth round, the Cowboys drafted LSU linebacker Damone Clark. The selection has immediate potential to be the highest value pick for the Cowboys, and maybe one of the best value picks in the entire draft.
After playing in a rotational role his first three years at LSU behind other linebackers that are now in the NFL, Clark became the full time starter in 2021 and didn’t disappoint. He led the Tigers defense with 135 tackles, 52 more than the next player on the team.
