What's In Store For The Cowboys' Offensive Line In 2016?

Despite being the best unit in the league, the Cowboys' offensive line still has some room for improvement.

For awhile, the Dallas Cowboys had assembled their roster on flashy draft picks, headlined by skill player after skill player. Prior to the 2011 NFL Draft, when the Cowboys selected Tyron Smith in the first round, the franchise hadn't used a first-round pick on the offensive line since the 1981 NFL Draft. Yep, you're reading that correctly. A thirty year span where the Cowboys stayed away from an offensive lineman in the first round. Since 2011, the Cowboys have used two more first-round picks on offensive lineman in Travis Frederick in the 2013 NFL Draft and in Zack Martin in the 2014 NFL Draft.
