Expert Commentary
The Cowboys needed a left tackle to develop and at least have a prospect now in Guyton. He’s got a bit of a way to go as far as technique is concerned, but the physical tools and frame to grow into something for the long term are there. Guyton might have a lower floor than some of the other tackle prospects, but the upside is still here.

Expert Commentary
The Cowboys needed to add more juice to their pass rush and found someone who has the potential to be a solid No. 2 across from Micah Parsons for the long term. Kneeland had first-round rumors, but this is a probably a more appropriate spot for him.

Expert Commentary
Love this pick for Dallas. Beebe has versatility and talent to be a fixture with the Cowboys for a long time as they continue to find the next great version of their offensive line. He played guard and tackle in the same games at times for Kansas State.

Expert Commentary
The Cowboys needed a real linebacker body on their roster and they got one in Liufau. No more safeties at linebacker is a good thing for Dallas, even if Liufau isn’t necessarily a star.
