The Cowboys were able to become very successful by targeting the offensive line in the first round in 2011, 2013, and 2014. So why switch to the best player on the board mentality after succeeding with a need-based strategy? At pick No. 28 there likely won't be a standout like Zeke left on the board so wouldn't bolstering the defense make the most sense?
