Linebackers probably don’t feature prominently on many people’s list of Cowboys needs heading into the draft, yet the Cowboys are a good bet to draft a linebacker in this year’s draft.
After all, the Cowboys like drafting linebackers, and have done so in nine of the last 10 drafts, with 2017 being the exception. In addition, Sean Lee may be cut, Damien Wilson will likely leave in free agency, and last year’s draft pick Chris Covington only played one regular season snap on defense. Add it all up, and odds are the Cowboys will pick a linebacker this year, perhaps not on the second day of the draft, but almost certainly on the third day - if they can find a player they like.
